Formation and Evolution of Disk Galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2003 AbstractGlobal star formation is the key to understanding galaxy disk formation. This in turn depends on gravitational instability of disks and continuing gas accretion as well as minor merging. A key component is feedback from supernovae. Primary observational constraints on disk galaxy formation and evolution include the Schmidt-Kennicutt law, the ...

On the evolution of disk galaxies [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1991 galaxies is presented. A numerical code that simulates the gravitatIonal contraction of a galaxy since the protogalactic phase has been developed. The models are based on a balance between the turbulent energy dissipation of the gas and the energy input from supernovae, the star formation being regulated by the gas conditions through Schmidt's law. The

$z\sim2$ dual AGN host galaxies are disky: stellar kinematics in the ASTRID Simulation
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsWe study dual AGN host galaxy morphologies at $z=2$ using the ASTRID simulation, selecting black hole (BH) pairs with small separation ($\Delta r10^7M_\odot$), and luminosity ($L_{\text{bol,12}}>10^{43}\rm{erg/s}$).

The Stability of Some Galaxy Disks is Still Perplexing
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The problem of how some disk galaxies avoid forming bars remains unsolved. Many galaxy models having reasonable properties continue to manifest vigorous instabilities that rapidly form strong bars and no widely accepted idea has yet been advanced to ...

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Philosophers often characterize perception as image‐like. There is little agreement, however, about what constitutes an imagistic or iconic representation. This article identifies five signature properties of iconic representations endorsed in the philosophical and scientific literature: item‐richness, feature‐richness, spatiotemporal ...

H i Observations of Giant Low Surface Brightness Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalGiant low surface brightness (gLSB) galaxies are galaxies with extremely extended, faint, optical disks over 50 kpc in radius and have high total masses, which can reach 10 ^12 M _⊙ .

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Surface photometry of early-type galaxies in rich clusters [PDF]
, 1998 This thesis investigates the morphology of early-type galaxies in two rich clusters using 2D surface photometry. In particular, the amount of light in the 'disk' component is focussed upon, as the presence of a disk is the main morphological criterion in
