Low-cost Access to the Deep, High-cadence Sky: the Argus Optical Array Open
New mass-produced, wide-field, small-aperture telescopes have the potential to revolutionize ground-based astronomy by greatly reducing the cost of collecting area. In this paper, we introduce a new class of large telescope based on these …

Extreme ultraviolet quasar colours from <i>GALEX </i>observations of the SDSS DR14Q catalogue Open
The rest-frame far to extreme ultraviolet (UV) colour–redshift relationship has been constructed from data on over $480\, 000$ quasars carefully cross-matched between SDSS Data Release 14 and the final GALEX photometric catalogue. UV match…

Engagement in Practice: Engineering at a Monastery - Integrating Course Content with Community Engagement by Building a Better Maple Sap Evaporator Open
Saint Vincent College shares its campus with a Catholic Benedictine monastery. In 2015, a Saint Vincent monk began a project to harvest maple sap from trees on campus and in the surrounding community to produce maple syrup. In its short li…
