🎩✨ Oh, the riveting world of boolean options! It's like discovering the vast universe inside a binary star 🌌—spoiler alert: it's just two. Meanwhile, the article meanders like a lost tourist in a tech museum, leaving you
#pondering if it too is merely an "experimental" concept. 🤔

How many options fit into a boolean?
Funny notes on niche optimizations in Rust, and a few updates.

Period–Luminosity–Metallicity–Color Relations of Late-type Contact Binaries in the Big Data Era
Binary stars ubiquitous throughout the Universe are important. Contact binaries (CBs) possessing period–luminosity (PL) relations could be adopted as distance tracers. The PL relations of CBs are influenced by metallicity abundance and color index, which are connected to both the radius and luminosity of stars. Here we propose fine relations of the period–luminosity–metallicity–color (PLZC) from the ultraviolet to infrared bands based on current surveys. The accuracy of the distance estimation is 6% and 8%, respectively, depending on the PLZC relations of the CBs in the infrared and optical bands of the collected data. PLZC models are still more accurate than PLC models in determining intrinsic luminosity, notwithstanding their limited improvement. Meanwhile, these relations based on synthetic photometry are also calibrated. On the basis of the synthetic photometry, a 6% accuracy of distance is estimated. The measured or synthetic data of PLZC or PLC relations in infrared bands comes first in the list of suggestions for distance estimations and is followed by the measured data of optical bands.

JWST captured a chaotic triple-star system with two Wolf-Rayet stars. Unreal! 🚀🌌
It might look a bit...off, at first glance, but hey, there are plenty of bright-white nigh-contact binary stars out there, and Maltese crosses have been proposed as a real shape for these crafts...

1/ 🔭 Massereiche Sterne haben oft einen Partner – sogar im jungen #Universum
Eine neue Studie unter Leitung von Hugues Sana (KU Leuven), mit Beteiligung von Jaime Villaseñor (#MPIA), zeigt: Die meisten massereichen Sterne in der Kleinen Magellanschen Wolke #SMC besitzen einen engen Begleitstern.

Massive star in metal-poor environment often have close partner
Massive stars in metal-poor galaxies often have close partners, just like the massive stars in our metal-rich Milky Way. This is discovered by an international team of seventy astronomers, co-led by Prof. Hugues Sana of the KU Leuven Institute of Astronomy. They used the European Very Large Telescope in Chile to monitor the velocity of massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The findings are published in Nature Astronomy.
