At-sea observations of the spring migration and pair bonding of ivory gulls (Pagophila eburnea) around Svalbard and East Greenland

Because of logistical constraints little previous information exists on ivory gulls (Pagophila eburnea) in the waters around Svalbard and the east coast of Greenland in late winter/early spring.The Swedish Arctic Ocean 2002 expedition investigated these areas at that time of year and in this paper I report on the observations of ivory gulls made du

Black Hole Spin and Stellar Flyby Periastron Shift

For a scenario of a close flyby of a compact star near a spinning black hole, we provide analytical and numerical estimates for the shift of trajectory periastron due to relativistic (beyond mustang bitless bridle post-Newtonian) effects.More specifically, we derived a generalized expression (not limited to quasi-circular or elliptical orbits) dire
