Selecting Post-starburst Galaxies Based on Star Formation History

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Post-starburst (PSB) galaxies are galaxies that have undergone a large burst of star formation followed by rapid quenching. Understanding their properties as a population can help us better understand how galaxies evolve to quiescence.

Mapping the dynamics, star-formation rates, and chemical properties of galaxies with integral field spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Major advances in the development of instruments for eight and ten meter class telescopes are revolutionising our understanding of galaxy formation. In particular, Integral Field Spectrographs (which produce a three dimensional {x, y, velocity) map of a ...

Continuum Robots in Surgery: From Engineering Design to Clinical Practice

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
The hyper‐redundant nature of continuum robot structures enables near‐infinite degrees of freedom leading to immense potential for medical applications. This review provides a historical background of continuum robots and novel ideas shaping their progress to current structural design, sensing technology, modeling techniques, and control methods.

Surface photometry of early-type galaxies in rich clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

WorMa: An Undulatory Robot With Center of Mass Regulation via Internal Fluid Redistribution for Amphibious Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
WorMa is an amphibious undulatory robot that uses Center of Mass redistribution as the sole terrain adaptation mechanism. This mechanism is based on internal fluid mass redistribution through a pump‐driven latex balloon system that creates three profiles: head‐biased, balanced, and tail‐biased.

Searching for Spectroscopic Signatures of Ongoing Quenching in SDSS Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In this paper, we estimate the “star formation change parameter,” SFR _79 , which characterizes the current SFR relative to the average during the last 800 Myr, for ∼300,000 galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).

Optical polarimetry studies of Seyfert galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Optical imaging polarimetry has been performed on seven nearby Seyfert galaxies, three with face-on and four with edge-on host galaxies of various morphological classifications.

Advanced Flexible Robotic Systems for the Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Flexible surgical robots are advancing minimally invasive interventions for cardiovascular diseases and cancer by enabling precise navigation through complex, submillimeter anatomical pathways. This review highlights recent innovations in actuation, bio‐integrated sensing, AI‐assisted control, and friction‐reduction technologies, discusses current ...

Comparing Star Formation Histories and Evolutionary Pathways of Post-starburst and E+A Galaxies in TNG50 and SDSS-IV MaNGA

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
E+A galaxies represent a class of recently quenched objects, with spectra that show evidence of a previous substantial starburst and strong Balmer absorption lines indicative of A-type stellar populations.

Spatially resolved spectroscopy of Coma Cluster early‐type galaxies. IV. Completing the data set [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The long-slit spectra obtained along the minor axis, offset major axis, and diagonal axis are presented for 12 E and S0 galaxies of the Coma Cluster drawn from a magnitude-limited sample studied before.
