Belle et Sébastien
Belle et Sébastien is a 1965 novel by Cécile Aubry about a six-year-old boy named Sébastien and his dog Belle, a Great Pyrenees, who live in a village in the French Alps close to the Italian border. Sébastien lives with his adopted grandfather, sister, and brother, as his mother, a Romani, died after giving birth to him while trying to cross the border on Saint Sebastian's day. The novel, known in English-speaking countries as Belle and Sebastian, was adapted by Aubry in the same year as its publication into a French live action television series. The novel itself spawned a book series, a Japanese anime adaptation in 1981, a French motion picture in 2013, followed by two sequels in 2015 and 2017 (Belle and Sebastian: Friends for Life), and a French-Canadian co-produced TV series in 2017.

Pyrenean Mountain Dog
The Pyrenean Mountain Dog or Chien de Montagne des Pyrénées is a French breed of livestock guardian dog; in France it is commonly called the Patou. It originates from the eastern or French side of the Pyrenees Mountains that separate France and Spain and is recognised as a separate breed from the Mastín del Pirineo or Pyrenean Mastiff from the Spanish side of the mountains, to which it is closely related.

The Patou is widely used throughout France as a livestock guardian, particularly in the French Alps and the Pyrenees, protecting flocks from predation by wolves and bears. It is known as the Great Pyrenees in the United States, where it is also used to protect flocks from various predators.
Cumbrian toponymy
Cumbrian toponymy refers to the study of place names in Cumbria, a county in northwest England, and as a result of the spread of the ancient Cumbric language, further parts of northern England and the Southern Uplands of Scotland.

Cumbria is near the centrepoint of the British Isles. It has been inhabited since Upper Paleolithic, and various ethnic groups have left their linguistic marks since the Iron Age.

Southern Uplands
The Southern Uplands (Scottish Gaelic: Na Monaidhean a Deas) are the southernmost and least populous of mainland Scotland's three major geographic areas (the others being the Central Lowlands and the Highlands). The term is used both to describe the geographical region and to collectively denote the various ranges of hills and mountains within this region. An overwhelmingly rural and agricultural region, the Southern Uplands are partly forested and contain many areas of open moorland - the hill names in the area are congruent with these characteristics.

Cosmic microwave background spectral distortions
CMB spectral distortions are tiny departures of the average cosmic microwave background (CMB) frequency spectrum from the predictions given by a perfect black body. They can be produced by a number of standard and non-standard processes occurring at the early stages of cosmic history, and therefore allow us to probe the standard picture of cosmology. Importantly, the CMB frequency spectrum and its distortions should not be confused with the CMB anisotropy power spectrum, which relates to spatial fluctuations of the CMB temperature in different directions of the sky.

Spectral energy distribution
A spectral energy distribution (SED) is a plot of energy versus frequency or wavelength of electromagnetic or mechanical radiation, most commonly light (not to be confused with a 'spectrum' of flux density vs frequency or wavelength).  It is used in many branches of astronomy to characterize astronomical sources.  For example, in radio astronomy they are used to show the emission from synchrotron radiation, free-free emission and other emission mechanisms.  In infrared astronomy, SEDs can be used to classify young stellar objects.
