Exploring the outskirts of the EAGLE disc galaxies
ABSTRACT Observations show that the surface brightness of disc galaxies can be well-described by a single exponential (TI), up-bending (TIII), or down-bending (TII) profiles in the outskirts. Here we characterize the mass surface densities of simulated late-type galaxies from the eagle project according to their distribution of mono-age ...

EESSI: A cross‐platform ready‐to‐use optimised scientific software stack
Abstract Getting scientific software installed correctly and ensuring it performs well has been a ubiquitous problem for several decades now, which is compounded currently by the changing landscape of computational science with the (re‐)emergence of different microprocessor families, and the expansion to additional scientific domains like artificial ...

The Thick Disc Population of the Galaxy [PDF]
The availability of photometric and astrometric star counts on large fields well distributed in the Galaxy allows us to measure the characteristics of the thick disc population. We use a total of 19 data sets in UBV towards a dozen directions in order to measure the scale height, scale length, local density and metallicity of the intermediate ...

ZIRCONIUM ABUNDANCES IN THE CENTRAL PART OF THE dSph FORNAX GALAXY
We derived LTE zirconium abundance in a sample of 81 giant stars in dwarf spheroidal Fornax galaxy. The LTE synthesis was used for this aim. We obtained the lower Zr abundance in Fornax galaxy comparing to the relevant value in the thick/thin disc of the

Probabilistic model for dynamic galaxy decomposition [PDF]
In the era of precision cosmology and ever-improving cosmological simulations, a better understanding of different galaxy components such as bulges and discs will give us new insight into galactic formation and evolution. Based on the fact that the stellar populations of the constituent components of galaxies differ by their dynamical properties, we ...

Using the EAGLE simulations to elucidate the origin of disc surface brightness profile breaks as a function of mass and environment [PDF]
We analyse the surface brightness profiles of disc-type galaxies in the EAGLE simulations in order to investigate the effects of galaxy mass and environment on galaxy profile types. Following observational works, we classify the simulated galaxies by their disc surface brightness profiles into single exponential (Type I), truncated (Type II) and anti ...

Stellar discs in massive galaxies [PDF]
Excluding those unsettled systems undergoing mergers, bright galaxies come in two flavours: with and without discs. In this work we look for photometric evidence for presence of discs and compare it with kinematic results of the ATLAS3D survey (Cappellari et al. 2011).

Astrophysical Parameters of the Open Cluster NGC 2509
This study presents structural and fundamental astrophysical parameters of poorly studied open cluster NGC 2509. We used the third photometric and astrometric data release of the Gaia (Gaia DR3) to perform analyses.

On the density within the dark-matter core in our galaxy [PDF]
Assuming that the disc of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, obeys the classical exponential law, that it is maximal and the Sun is rather far from the maximum of its circular velocity, one finds that, most likely, the galactic corona (subsystem containing the ...

3C 120 Disk/Corona vs. Jet Variability in X-rays
The 3C120 (Mrk 1506, UGC 03087, Mrk 9014) is a type 1 Seyfert (Sy1)/broad-line radio galaxy (BLRG) with intriguing variable jet activity featuring “dip” and “outburst” phases.
