The HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale XI. The Cepheids in NGC 4414

We report the Discovery of Cepheid variable stars in the galaxy NGC 4414, as part of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. Observations were obtained with the HST Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) for 13 epochs at V (F555W) and 4 at I (F814W).

Prediction-Based Approaches for Generation of Noise-Power-Distance Data with Application to Urban Air Mobility Vehicles

In contrast to most commercial air traffic today, vehicles serving the urban air mobility (UAM) market are anticipated to operate within communities and be close to the public at large. The approved model for assessing environmental impact of air traffic actions in the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT), does not directly support analysis of such operations due to a combined lack of UAM aircraft flight performance model data and aircraft noise data. This paper addresses the latter by offering two prediction-based approaches for generation of noise-power-distance (NPD) data for use within AEDT. One utilizes AEDT’s fixed-wing aircraft modeling approach and the other utilizes the rotary-wing aircraft modeling approach.

Carriage system remotely moves drawer over extended distance

In the transferring of material remotely through thick radiation shielding walls, a drawer is mounted on rollers which operate on rails carried on a slide carriage to eliminate the feature of the slide hardware projecting beyond the drawer when the drawer is extended its full distance.
