A family-based method of quantifying NEOWISE diameter errors

TL;DR: In this article, a method for bounding the actual NEOWISE diameter errors in the Main Belt based on the knowledge of the albedos of asteroid families is presented, and it is shown that the 1 sigma relative diameter error for the main Belt population must be less than 17.5% for the vast majority of objects.

A Century of Cosmology

TL;DR: In the century since Einstein's anno mirabilis of 1905, our concept of the universe has expanded from Kapteyn's flattened disk of stars only 10 kpc across to an observed horizon about 30 Gpc across that is only a tiny fraction of an immensely large inflated bubble as mentioned in this paper.

K-corrections: an Examination of their Contribution to the Uncertainty of Luminosity Measurements

TL;DR: In this article, the uncertainty contributed to a measurement by a K-correction is calculated at the level of a Gaussian approximation of the statistics involved, where the galaxies in question can be characterized by a mean spectral energy distribution and a covariance function (spectral 2-point function).
