Resolved Convection in Hydrogen-rich Atmospheres by Jacob T. Seeley, Robin D. Wordsworth

“…This should fundamentally alter the dynamics of moist convection, but the low-MMW regime has previously been explored primarily via 1D theories that cannot capture the complexity of moist turbulence. Here, we use a 3D cloud-resolving model to simulate moist convection in atmospheres with a wide range of background MMWs and confirm that a humidity threshold for buoyancy reversal first derived by T. …”

A Geometric Approach to Estimate Background in Astronomical Images by Pushpak Pandey, Kanak Saha

“…In a typical low-photon-count astronomical image, such as in the far- and near-ultraviolet wavelength ranges, conventional methods relying on 3 σ clipping and median or mode estimation often fail to capture the true background level accurately. As a consequence, differentiating true sources from noise peaks remains a challenging task. …”
