Mothering at the Margins: Amplifying and validating the voices of Black mothers of autistic children

...Multiplicity of Burdens Our research identified this increased mental load as being one of several ‘burdens’ borne by Black mothers of autistic children. As detailed in the book, the word ‘burden’ is used advisedly to speak to the consequences of marginalisation and oppression, and the debilitating effects in which they result. It is not intended as a label for...

Exomoons: astronomers report first ever discovery

...multiple moon signals are not unexpected from exoplanet systems. Clearly, an exomoon may contribute an additional transit signal of its own, but for an object comparable in size to the Earth’s moon, the extra dimming will only amount to around ten parts per million – making it difficult to detect. This is further complicated by the fact that the moon signal will also...

The formation of exoplanets

...multiplication 0.05 squared right square bracket times v sub normal cap k of r normal cap delta times v of r equals 0.00376 times v sub cap k of r So the difference is only about 0.4% of the Keplerian velocity. To evaluate Δv at r = 1 au we need to calculate the Keplerian velocity vK at 1 au: equation sequence part 1 v sub cap k equals part 2 Square root of cap g times...
