Overmassive Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies Out to z ∼ 0.9 in the VIPERS Survey

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are thought to originate from early universe seed black holes of mass M _BH ∼ 10 ^2 –10 ^5 M _⊙ and grown through cosmic time. Such seeds could be powering the active galactic nuclei (AGN) found in today’s dwarf galaxies.

Evolution of Terrestrial Planetary Bodies and Implications for Habitability

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The terrestrial planetary bodies of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—share a common origin through nebular accretion and early magma ocean differentiation, yet they diverged significantly in geological evolution, tectonic regimes, and habitability.

Visionaries and Crackpots, Maniacs and Saints: Existential Risk and the Politics of Longtermism

open access: yesRatio, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 268-278, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Despite advancing strong claims about our collective priorities, longtermism has received little attention in debates in political philosophy. I first provide an account of longtermism that highlights the way it departs from established work on intergenerational justice.

Dust in Nearby DWARF Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994
The aim of the present paper is to look for the gas-to-dust ratio in different types of galaxies and for a correlation between this ratio and the metallicity in dwarf galaxies. The recent compilation of data on nearby galaxies by Schmidt & Boller (1992, hereinafter SB) including HI and dust ...

Evidence for Mass-dependent Evolution of Transitional Dwarf Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The presence of transitional dwarf galaxies in cluster environments supports the hypothesis that infalling star-forming galaxies are transformed into quiescent early-type dwarf galaxies (ETdGs) through environmental effects.

New Arabic Records From Cairo on Supernovae 1181 and 1006

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 9, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The remnant of the historical supernova SN 1181 is under discussion: While the previously suggested G130.7+3.1 (3C58) appears too old (3000–5000 year), the unusual star IRAS00500+6713 with a surrounding nebula (Pa‐30) has an expansion age not inconsistent with a SN Iax explosion in ad 1181 under the assumption that neither acceleration nor ...

A MegaCam Survey of Outer Halo Satellites. VII. A Single S\'ersic Index v/s Effective Radius Relation for Milky Way Outer Halo Satellites

open access: yes, 2019
In this work we use structural properties of Milky Way's outer halo ($R_G > 25\,\mathrm{kpc}$) satellites (dwarf spheroidal galaxies, ultra-faint dwarf galaxies and globular clusters) derived from deep, wide-field and homogeneous data, to present ...

Feedback by Massive Black Holes in Gas-rich Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Could there be intermediate-mass black holes in essentially all old dwarf galaxies? I argue that current observations of active galactic nuclei in dwarfs allow such a radical hypothesis that provides early feedback during the epoch of galaxy formation ...

JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters—VI. The Lowest‐Mass Objects in M 4 and the Galactic Bulge

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 9, November 2025.
ABSTRACT We present James Webb Space Telescope observations of M 4—the closest globular cluster—that probe the lower Main Sequence down to the hydrogen‐burning limit. The unveiled stellar sequence reaches much fainter luminosities than previously possible, revealing a few extremely red objects that are consistent with brown dwarfs as cool as Teff∼1000K$
