Without a map
TL;DR: It is observed that students are capable of accessing a great diversity of information about college online, but run into challenges when trying to interpret of that information, and introduces the term "knowledgeable translators" to capture the important role played by contacts with specialized knowledge about post-secondary institutions who help students evaluate and contextualize college information via online and offline channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Water Ice on the Centaur 1997 CU_(26)
TL;DR: The water ice bands are weaker than those detected on the surface of any other solar system body; the spectrum is well fit with a model surface consisting predominantly of a neutral dark absorbing substance with only ~3% areal coverage of water ice as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-Infrared Surface Properties of the Two Intrinsically Brightest Minor Planets: (90377) Sedna and (90482) Orcus*
TL;DR: In this article, low-resolution K-band spectra taken at the Gemini 8 m telescope of (90377) Sedna and (90482) Orcus (provisional designations 2003 VB_(12) and 2004 DW, respectively), currently the two most reflective minor planets, were used to place crude limits on the surface composition of these two bodies using a Hapke model for a wide variety of assumed albedos.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present spectroscopic and photometric measurements of the white dwarfs LHS 3250 and WD 0346+246 and show that they are the coolest ones known, all with effective temperatures below 4000 K.
