Ombres et lumières croisées : l’appropriation prométhéenne de la lumière dans les peintures de Wright of Derby (1734-97) et John Martin (1789-1854) by Muriel Adrien

“…Religious allusions seem hijacked so to say as if to underline the secularization of light and the increased prestige of man who is initiated with the mysteries of the universe and seeks to take control.In the same spirit, the later Italian paintings do not hesitate to outperform the drama of night light, by magnifying or exaggerating the pictorial scenography of the night performances, undoubtedly influenced by the contemporary staging devices which exploit new knowledge in light, mainly the diorama, the transparencies, and soon enough the eidophusikon. …”

Role of Barystatic Sea Level Change in Global Mass Conservation and Its Excitation to Length‐Of‐Day Variations by Qiqi Shi, Yonghong Zhou, Cancan Xu, Xueqing Xu

Besides the secular contribution to global sea‐level rise, changes in barystatic sea level also play an important role in mass‐induced length‐of‐day (LOD) variations over a few years or shorter periods. …”

The Role of Rituals and Ceremonies in the Identity Struggle of a Society that Has Lost Its Language: the Example of Lithuanian Tatars by Mehmet Aça

Galaxy evolution in the post-merger regime. III -- The triggering of active galactic nuclei peaks immediately after coalescence by Sara Ellison, Leonardo Ferreira, Robert Bickley, Tess Grindlay, Samir Salim, Shoshannah Byrne-Mamahit, Shobita Satyapal, David R. Patton, Jillian M. Scudder

“…Our main results are: 1) Regardless of the metric used, we find that the peak AGN excess (compared with a matched control sample) occurs immediately after coalescence, at 0 < T_PM < 0.16 Gyr. 2) The excess of AGN is observed until long after coalescence; both the mid-IR selected AGN and broad line AGN are more common than in the control sample even in the longest time bin of our sample (0.96 < T_PM < 1.76 Gyr). 3) The AGN excess is larger for more luminous and bolometrically dominant AGN, and we find that AGN in post-mergers are generally more luminous than secularly triggered events. 4) A deficit of broad line AGN in the pre-merger phase, that evolves into an excess in post-mergers is consistent with evolution of the covering fraction of nuclear obscuring material. …”
