Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

2. What is it?
Redox Reactions are chemical reactions that involve
oxidation and reduction.
Oxidation can be defined as a loss of electrons to another
substance. Reduction can be defined as an acceptance of
electrons from another substance.
Redox reactions are those in which electrons are transferred
from one reactant to another.
Everyday redox reactions include:
Photosynthesis
Respiration
Combustion of coal
Production and use of fertilisers
3. Key Terms
If electrons are transferred, it is a redox
reaction.
1) A loss of electrons is called oxidation. A gain in
electrons is called reduction.
2) Reduction and oxidation happen simultaneously,
hence the name “redox”
3) An oxidising agent (oxidant) accepts electrons and
thus gets reduced
4) A reducing agent donates electrons and thus gets
oxidised
OIL RIG
Oxidation Is Loss of electrons Reduction Is Gain of
electrons
4. The oxidant is the species which causes oxidation and is itself reduced
The reductant is the species which causes reduction and is itself
oxidised
5. From this equation you can see that Na goes from an
oxidation state of 0 to +1, it has donated an electron
and has been oxidised. We can say that Na is the
reducing agent (or reductant) as it has reduced the Cl
Cl2 goes from 0 to -1, it has been reduced as it has gained
an electron. It can also be called the oxidant (or
oxidising agent) as it has oxidised the Na.
8. Oxidation Numbers - Rules
There are a lot of rules:
1) All atoms are treated as ions for this, even if they are
covalently bonded
2) Uncombined elements have an oxidation number of
0
3) Elements just bonded to identical atoms, eg O2 or H2
also have an oxidation number of 0.
4) The oxidation number of a simple monatomic ion, eg
Na+, is the same as its charge.
9. Oxidation Numbers - Rules
5) In compounds or compound ions, the overall
oxidation number is just the ion charge
SO4
2- - overall oxidation number is -2
Oxidation number of O = -2 (total -8)
Oxidation number of S = +6
***Within an ion, the most electronegative element has a
negative oxidation number equal to its ionic
charge***
10. Oxidation Numbers - Rules
6) The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral
compound is 0
Fe2O3 – overall oxidation number is 0.
oxidation number of O = -2 (total = -6)
so oxidation of Fe= +3
7) If you see roman numerals, this is an oxidation
number
Copper (II) Sulphate:
Copper has oxidation number of +2
11. Oxidation Numbers - Rules
8) The oxidation number of Hydrogen is +1 in its
compounds with non-metals (eg HCl)
The oxidation of Hydrogen is -1 in metal hybrides (eg
NaH)
9) The oxidation number of Oxygen is usually -2
Exceptions:
- peroxide compounds where O is -1 (eg H2O2)
- compounds where it is bonded to Fluorine where O
is +2
12. Assigning oxidation numbers to
the atoms in the following
substances
***Assign as many oxidation numbers as possible
and then find the oxidation number of the
unknown***
a) HBr
b) Na2O
c) CH4
d) Al2O3
15. Has a redox reaction taken
place??
Oxidation numbers are used to determine whether a
REDOX reaction has taken place
Oxidation is an INCREASE in the Oxidation Number of an
ATOM
Reduction is a DECREASE in the Oxidation Number of an
atom
***Keep in mind that oxidation cannot happen without
reduction***
16. Has a redox reaction taken
place??
1. Assign oxidation numbers to all species present
2. Determine whether a change in oxidation numbers has
occurred
3. Has oxidation and reduction both taken place?
17. Identify the following equations
as redox, state the substances that have been oxidised
and reduced
1) 2Fe(s) + 3Cl2 (g) 2FeCl3(s)
2) NH3(g) + HCl(g) NH4(s)
3) 2NO(g) + O2(g) 2NO2(g)
4) P4O10(s) + 6H2O(l) 4H3PO4(aq)
18. Half Equations
Half equations are a useful way of understanding the
processes involved in a redox reaction.
Although reduction and oxidation reactions occur
simultaneously, it is possible to consider the two reactions
separately.
To do this we separate the conjugate pair of oxidant and
reductant and we balance the equations by showing the
electrons.
Combining these half equations make up the ionic equation.
19. Half Equations
When an iron nail is placed in a blue copper sulfate solution,
the nail becomes coated with metallic copper and the blue
colour of the solution fades.
The full equation is:
Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
Fe(s) + Cu2+ + SO4
2-
(aq) Fe2+ + SO4
2-(aq) + Cu(s)
***No change in SO4
2- oxidation number so can be disregarded ad spectator ions
Fe(s) + Cu2+ Fe2+ + Cu(s)
21. Half Equations

silver from an aqueous silver nitrate solution by metallic
lead is:
