Reification of galaxies: cognitive astrophysics and the multiwavelength inverse problem [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011 Lessons learned in the history and philosophy of science have generally had little immediate impact on how we as individual astronomers conduct our research. And yet we do share many common views on how we undertake basic research, and how we translate observations and theory into communicable knowledge.

Applications of the IGIMF-theory to the astrophysics of galaxies [PDF]
, 2010 The functional form of the galaxy-wide stellar initial mass function is of fundamental importance for understanding galaxies. So far this stellar initial mass function has been assumed to be identical to the IMF observed directly in star clusters. But because stars form predominantly in embedded groups rather than uniformly distributed over the whole ...

Galaxy Winds in the Age of Hyperdimensional Astrophysics [PDF]
, 2019 The past decade began with the first light of ALMA and will end at the start of the new era of hyperdimensional astrophysics. Our community-wide movement toward highly multiwavelength and multidimensional datasets has enabled immense progress in each science frontier identified by the 2010 Decadal Survey, particularly with regard to black hole feedback

The Binary–Host Connection: Astrophysics of Gravitational-Wave Binaries from Host Galaxy Properties [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Abstract Gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron stars (BNSs) are accompanied by electromagnetic counterparts, making it possible to identify the associated host galaxy. In this work, we explore how properties of the hosts relate to the astrophysical processes leading to the mergers.

Astrophysical probes of the Vainshtein mechanism: Stars and galaxies [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2015 Ghost-free theories beyond the Horndeski class exhibit a partial breaking of the Vainshtein mechanism inside non-relativistic sources of finite extent. We exploit this breaking to identify new and novel astrophysical probes of these theories. Non-relativistic objects feel a gravitational force that is weaker than that predicted by general relativity ...
