SuperWASP observations of pulsating Am stars (2011)
Journal Article
Smalley, B., Kurtz, D., Smith, A. S., Fossati, L., Anderson, D., Barros, S. C., …Wood, P. L. (2011). SuperWASP observations of pulsating Am stars. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 535, Article A3. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201117230

We have studied over 1600 Am stars at a photometric precision of 1 mmag with SuperWASP photometric data. Contrary to previous belief, we find that around 200 Am stars are pulsating delta Sct and gamma Dor stars, with low amplitudes that have been mis...

Frankfurt's decision to award Freud the Goethe Prize in 1930 as well as the same city's decision to celebrate Freud's 100th birthday in 1956 will allow us to trace specific traditions in the German encounter with psychoanalysis. The diachronic approa... Read More about "PSYCHOANALYSIS IS GOOD, SYNTHESIS IS BETTER": THE GERMAN RECEPTION OF FREUD, 1930 AND 1956.
