Anne-Noëlle Bailly-Bouton (University of Toulouse), Piano Postures at the Beginning of the 19th Century in France: Consistency between Instruction and Depiction While many portraits of pianists before their instruments are known, it seems that there has been no study about whether they match the description of piano posture in contemporary tutors. My research has yielded quite surprising result...

New observations of the neutral hydrogen (Hi) in and around the line of sight of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal (dSph) are presented. The data obtained with the single-dish Parkes telescope cover a large area of 7 × 7 in the direction of the dwarf, and have resolutions of 15.5 × 1.12 km s. The Australia Telescope Compact Array was used to map a smaller area of 2. 2 × 2. 2 centered on the directi...

We present measurements of Fe, Mg, Si, Ca, and Ti abundances for 388 radial velocity member stars in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph), a satellite of the Milky Way. This is the largest sample of individual α element (Mg, Si, Ca, Ti) abundance measurements in any single dSph. The measurements are made from Keck/DEIMOS medium-resolution spectra (6400–9000 Å, R ∼ 6500). Based on compari...

Member of an important dynasty painters, Ambrosio del Plano developed his artistic activity in Zaragoza the central decades 17th century. He was a considered and educated painter gilder, as skill ability meant that at end life he required to work service Don Juan José de Austria, Viceroy Aragon. The present study analyses family, well provides overview oeuvre. It also shows personal relationshi...

"…send me a white cane," Henri Matisse exhorted his assistants when he completed the compositions for his illustrated book Jazz. The artist was nearly blinded by working with intense color under the brilliant Mediterranean light of the south of France (1). To protect against glare, he used overstated hues and intense blacks. To overcome incapacitating illness, he invented a new medium, "drawing...

We present BV photometry of the Sculptor dwarf galaxy to V = 22. These data give evidence for a bimodality in Sculptor’s metallicity distribution based on a discontinuity in the luminosities of horizontal branch (HB) stars and by the presence of two distinct red giant branch (RGB) bumps. A consistent picture of the evolved stars in Sculptor is given by the presence of (1) a metal-poor populatio...

Science and art are often disconnected but, if combined, can help stimulate learning novelty guide societal change. How then to bridge the divide between scientists artists in a way that extends beyond superficial, short-term interactions? We describe an ongoing coproduction practice Swedish sustainability scientist two Chilean artists—a sculptor painter—striving find ways work together. Our tr...

We have used high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra obtained with the VLT and UVES to determine abundances of 17 elements in 4 red giants in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Our [Fe/H] values range from –2.10 to –0.97, confirming previous findings of a large metallicity spread. We have combined our data with similar data for five Sculptor giants studied recently by Shetrone et al. t...
