  • PESSTO spectroscopic classification of La Silla-Quest Transients
  • 2012
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • PESSTO is the "Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects" (http://www.pessto.org) using the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT) at La Silla and the EFOSC2 (optical) and SOFI (near-IR) spectrographs. It is one of two currently running public spectroscopic surveys at ESO. The survey details are as follows: - PESSTO has 90 nights per year on the NTT: 9 lunations (August to April), 10 nights per lunation (we are not observing May-July).

  • Discovery of two new supernovae and an AGN outburst by PS1
  • 2010
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • We report the discovery of two spectroscopically-confirmed Supernovae PS1-1000302 and PS1-1000303, and an AGN outburst PS1-1000305 in the Pan-STARRS1 "3Pi Faint galaxy supernova survey". PS1-1000302 was detected on June 12.4 UT (g=18.5) at 16:33:43.094 +54:42:04.18 (J2000) located 1.1" from the center of the host galaxy SDSS J163343.08+544205.4. PS1-1000303 was detected on June 14.3 UT (g=19.2) at 17:11:52.827 +43:36:57.06 (J2000) located 0.4" from the center of the host galaxy SDSS J171152.82+433656.7.

  • Discovery of two new supernovae and a possible AGN/luminous SN IIn in the Pan-STARRS1 3Pi faint galaxy supernova survey
  • 2010
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • report the discovery of two new supernovae and a possible AGN/luminous SN IIn in the Pan-STARRS 1 "3Pi Faint galaxy supernova survey". During the course of the PS1 3Pi sky survey, PS1-1000791 was detected on Aug 14.40 (UT) (Coord: 20:45:13.089 -06:56:11.090, J2000) at g=19.4 and detected again on Aug 19.33 at r=18.64 within 0.9 arcsec of the faint SDSS galaxy (J204513.14-065611.2). A spectrum of PS1-1000791 was obtained at the Nordic Optical Telescope (+ALFOSC+Gr4; range 350-950nm) on Aug 30.0 (UT).

  • Reducing Global Warming and Adapting to Climate Change: The Potential of Organic Agriculture
  • 2012
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Climate change mitigation is urgent, and adaptation to climate change is crucial, particularly in agriculture, where food security is at stake. Agriculture, currently responsible for 20-30% of global greenhouse gas emissions (counting direct and indirect agricultural emissions), can however contribute to both climate change mitigation and adaptation. The main mitigation po-tential lies in the capacity of agricultural soils to sequester CO2 through building organic matter. This potential can be realized by employing sustainable agricultural practices, such as those com-monly found within organic farming systems. Examples of these practices are the use of organic fertilizers and crop rotations including legume leys and cover crops. Mitigation is also achieved in organic agriculture through the avoidance of open biomass burning, and the avoidance of synthetic fertilizers, the production of which causes emissions from fossil fuel use. Common organic practices also contribute to adaptation. Building soil organic matter increases water retention capacity, and creates more stabile, fertile soils, thus reducing vulnerability to drought, extreme precipitation events, floods and water logging. Adaptation is further supported by increased agro-ecosystem diversity of organic farms, based on management decisions, reduced ni-trogen inputs and the absence of chemical pesticides. The high diversity together with the lower input costs of organic agriculture is key to reducing production risks associated with extreme weather events. All these advantageous practices are not exclusive to organic agriculture. However, they are core parts of the organic production system, in contrast to most non-organic agriculture, where they play a minor role only. Mitigation in agriculture is however not restricted to the agricultural sector alone. Consumer pref-erences for products from conventional or organic farms, seasonal and local production, pest and disease resistant varieties, etc. strongly influence agricultural production systems, and thus the overall mitigation potential of agriculture. Even more influential are meat consumption and food wastage. Any discussion on mitigation of climate change in agriculture thus needs to address the entire food chain, and to be linked to general sustainable development strategies. The main challenges to dealing appropriately with the climate change mitigation and adaptation potential of organic agriculture, and agriculture in general, stem from a) insufficient understanding of some of the basic processes, such as the interaction of N2O emissions and soil carbon sequestra-tion, contributions of roots to soil carbon sequestration, and the life-cycle emissions of organic fer-tilizers, such as compost; b) lack of procedures for emissions accounting which adequately repre-sent agricultural production systems with multiple and diverse outputs, which also encompass eco-system services; c) the problem to identify and design adequate policy frameworks for supporting mitigation and adaptation in agriculture, i.e. such that do not put systemic approaches at a disad-vantage due to difficulties in the quantification of emissions, and in their allocation to single prod-ucts; d) the necessity to assure that the current focus on mitigation does not lead to neglect of other factors influencing the sustainability of agriculture, such as pesticide loads, eutrophication, acidifi-cation or soil erosion; and e) the open questions, how to address consumer behaviour and how to further changes in consumption patterns, in order to utilize their mitigation potential.

  • Detection of PTF10cwr/CSS100313 on PS1 sky survey images and host galaxy identification
  • 2010
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • We report that the transient PTF10cwr (Quimby et al. ATEL #2492), a.k.a. CSS100313:112547-084941 (Mahabal et al. ATel #2490), was also recovered on images from the Pan-STARRS Telescope #1 (PS1) as part of the PS1 3Pi survey (PS1-1000037). Magnitudes of i=18.96 and r=18.65 where measured with respect to SDSS sequence stars on March 12.45 and 13.49 UT respectively. Further photometry was gathered at the Liverpool Telescope on March 20.92 and March 23.00 UT.

  • Report 35 : How can we keep schools and universities open? Differentiating closures by economic sector to optimize social and economic activity while containing SARS-CoV-2 transmission
  • 2020
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • There is a trade-off between the education sector and other economic sectors in the control of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Here we integrate a dynamic model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission with a 63-sector economic model reflecting sectoral heterogeneity in transmission and economic interdependence between sectors. We identify control strategies which optimize economic production while keeping schools and universities operational and constraining infections such that emergency hospital capacity is not exceeded. The model estimates an economic gain of between £163bn and £205bn for the United Kingdom compared to a blanket lockdown of non-essential activity over six months, depending on hospital capacity. Sectors identified as potential priorities for closure are contact-intensive and/or less economically productive.
