The Hubble Space Telescope Survey of M31 Satellite Galaxies. II. The Star Formation Histories of Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the lifetime star formation histories (SFHs) for six ultrafaint dwarf (UFD; M _V > − 7.0, $4.9\lt {\mathrm{log}}_{10}({M}_{* }(z=0)/{M}_{\odot })\lt 5.5$ ) satellite galaxies of M31 based on deep color–magnitude diagrams constructed from ...

THE DISTRIBUTION OF ALPHA ELEMENTS IN ANDROMEDA DWARF GALAXIES [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2014
We present alpha to iron abundance ratios for 226 individual red giant branch stars in nine dwarf galaxies of the Andromeda (M 31) satellite system. The abundances are measured from the combined signal of Mg, Si, Ca, and Ti lines in Keck/DEIMOS medium-resolution spectra.

Das zirkumgalaktische Medium

Physik in unserer Zeit, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 30-37, January 2025.
Galaxien wie die Milchstraße sind umhüllt von einem gigantischen Kokon aus diffusem Gas. Aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse belegen, dass dieses zirkumgalakische Medium eine entscheidende Rolle für die Entstehung und Entwicklung von Galaxien spielt. Zusammenfassung Als zirkumgalaktisches Medium bezeichnet man die gasförmigen Hüllen von Galaxien, die sich ...

New luminous blue variables in the Andromeda galaxy [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2015
We performed spectroscopy of five Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) candidates and two known LBV stars (AE And and Var A-1) in M31. We obtained the same-epoch near-infrared (NIR) and optical spectra of these stars. The NIR spectra were taken with Triplespec spectrograph at the 3.5-m telescope at Apache Point Observatory, and the optical spectroscopy was ...

Critical steps in an environmental metaproteomics workflow

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2024.
Metaproteomics, a potent yet underutilized tool, reveals the complexities of microbial communities. Our review emphasizes its accessibility and provides diverse workflow descriptions tailored to various environmental matrices. We aim to convince readers of its capability to unravel the structural, dynamic, and metabolic nuances within microbial ...

A dual‐omics approach on the effects of fibroblast growth factor‐2 (FGF‐2) on ventral tegmental area dopaminergic neurons in response to alcohol consumption in mice

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 59, Issue 7, Page 1519-1535, April 2024.
FGF‐2 knockout (KO) results in reduced alcohol consumption and preference in the two‐bottle choice mouse model over 6 weeks of 20% voluntary alcohol access. Loss of FGF‐2 leads to the downregulation of Otx2, Igf1 and Lpl, as well as the upregulation of Vgat, Lmx1a, Foxa2, Ndnf, Chrna4 and Sat1b, genes specific for DAergic subpopulations.

On the Blueshift of the Andromeda Galaxy

Communications of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory
The observed spectral shift of galaxies is usually interpreted using the Doppler effect. However, attention should be paid to other possible mechanisms of spectral shift. For example, suppose baryon matter evolves due to interaction with the carrier of dark energy.

THEHERSCHELEXPLOITATION OF LOCAL GALAXY ANDROMEDA (HELGA). II. DUST AND GAS IN ANDROMEDA [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2012
We present an analysis of the dust and gas in Andromeda, using Herschel images sampling the entire far-infrared peak. We fit a modified-blackbody model to ~4000 quasi-independent pixels with spatial resolution of ~140pc and find that a variable dust-emissivity index (beta) is required to fit the data. We find no significant long-wavelength excess above

Causal theories of spacetime

Noûs, Volume 58, Issue 1, Page 202-224, March 2024.
Abstract We develop a new version of the causal theory of spacetime. Whereas traditional versions of the theory seek to identify spatiotemporal relations with causal relations, the version we develop takes causal relations to be the grounds for spatiotemporal relations. Causation is thus distinct from, and more basic than, spacetime. We argue that this
