The SkyServer is an Internet portal to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Catalog Archive Server. From 2001 to 2006, there were a million visitors in 3 million sessions generating 170 million Web hits, 16 million ad-hoc SQL queries, and 62 million page views. The site currently averages 35 thousand visitors and 400 thousand sessions per month. The Web and SQL logs are public. We analyzed traffic and sessions by duration, usage pattern, data product, and client type (mortal or bot) over time. The analysis shows (1) the sites popularity, (2) the educational website that delivered nearly fifty thousand hours of interactive instruction, (3) the relative use of interactive, programmatic, and batch-local access, (4) the success of offering ad-hoc SQL, personal database, and batch job access to scientists as part of the data publication, (5) the continuing interest in old datasets, (6) the usage of SQL constructs, and (7) a novel approach of using the corpus of correct SQL queries to suggest similar but correct statements when a user presents an incorrect SQL statement.

Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime generated by the acceleration of astrophysical objects. A direct consequence of general relativity, they were first directly observed in 2015 by the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) observatories. I review the first five years of gravitational wave detections. More than fifty gravitational waves events have been found, emitted by pairs of merging compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes. These signals yield insights into the formation of compact objects and their progenitor stars, enable stringent tests of general relativity and constrain the behavior of matter at densities higher than an atomic nucleus. Mergers that emit both gravitational and electromagnetic waves probe the formation of short gamma ray bursts, the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements, and measure the local expansion rate of the Universe.
The Photon-Ion Spectrometer at PETRA III - in short, PIPE - is a permanently installed user facility at the Variable Polarization XUV Beamline P04 of the synchrotron light source PETRA III operated by DESY in Hamburg, Germany. The careful design of t he PIPE ion-optics in combination with the record-high photon flux at P04 has lead to a breakthrough in experimental studies of photon interactions with ionized small quantum systems. This short review provides an overview over the published scientific results from photon-ion merged-beams experiments at PIPE that were obtained since the start of P04 operations in 2013. The topics covered comprise photoionization of ions of astrophysical relevance, quantitative studies of multi-electron processes upon inner-shell photoexcitation and photoionization of negative and positive atomic ions, precision spectroscopy of photoionization resonances, photoionization and photofragmentation of molecular ions and of endohedral fullerene ions.
Reverberation mapping is a robust method to measure the masses of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) outside of the local Universe. Measurements of the radius -- luminosity ($R-L$) relation using the Mg II emission line are critical for determining the se masses near the peak of quasar activity at $z approx 1 - 2$, and for calibrating secondary mass estimators based on Mg II that can be applied to large samples with only single-epoch spectroscopy. We present the first nine Mg II lags from our five-year Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES) reverberation mapping program, which substantially improves the number and quality of Mg II lag measurements. As the Mg II feature is somewhat blended with iron emission, we model and subtract both the continuum and iron contamination from the multi-epoch spectra before analyzing the Mg II line. We also develop a new method of quantifying correlated spectroscopic calibration errors based on our numerous, contemporaneous observations of F-stars. The lag measurements for seven of our nine sources are consistent with both the H$beta$ and Mg II $R-L$ relations reported by previous studies. Our simulations verify the lag reliability of our nine measurements, and we estimate that the median false positive rate of the lag measurements is $4%$.
In 1995, C. I. Christov and M. G. Velarde introduced the concept of a dissipative soliton in a long-wave thin-film equation [Physica D 86, 323--347]. In the 25 years since, the subject has blossomed to include many related phenomena. The focus of thi s short note is to survey the conceptual influence of the concept of a production-dissipation (input-output) energy balance that they identified. Our recent results on nonlinear periodic waves as dissipative solitons (in a model equation for a ferrofluid interface in a parallel-flow rectangular geometry subject to an inhomogeneous magnetic field) have shown that the classical concept also applies to nonlocalized (specifically, spatially periodic) nonlinear coherent structures. Thus, we revisit the so-called KdV-KSV equation studied by C. I. Christov and M. G. Velarde to demonstrate that it also possesses spatially periodic dissipative soliton solutions. These coherent structures arise when the linearly unstable flat film state evolves to sufficiently large amplitude. The linear instability is then arrested when the nonlinearity saturates, leading to permanent traveling waves. Although the two model equations considered in this short note feature the same prototypical linear long-wave instability mechanism, along with similar linear dispersion, their nonlinearities are fundamentally different. These nonlinear terms set the shape and eventual dynamics of the nonlinear periodic waves. Intriguingly, the nonintegrable equations discussed in this note also exhibit multiperiodic nonlinear wave solutions, akin to the polycnoidal waves discussed by J. P. Boyd in the context of the completely integrable KdV equation.
Current and future astronomical surveys are producing catalogs with millions and billions of objects. On-line access to such big datasets for data mining and cross-correlation is usually as highly desired as unfeasible. Providing these capabilities i s becoming critical for the Virtual Observatory framework. In this paper we present various performance tests that show how using Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) and a Zoning algorithm to partition and parallelize the computation, we can facilitate large-scale query and cross-match.
