Near IR imaging of Centaurus group dwarf elliptical galaxies

open access: yes, 2016
Detailed studies of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group have revealed an amazing diversity in their star formation histories. Young and intermediate-age stellar populations are observed in some gas-poor dwarf ellipticals, like Fornax and Carina, where ...

Cosmicflows-4

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
With Cosmicflows- 4, distances are compiled for 55,877 galaxies gathered into 38,065 groups. Eight methodologies are employed, with the largest numbers coming from the correlations between the photometric and kinematic properties of spiral galaxies (TF ...

Resolving the Extended Stellar Halos of Nearby Galaxies: The Wide-Field PISCeS Survey

open access: yesGalaxies, 2017
The wide-field Panoramic Imaging Survey of Centaurus and Sculptor (PISCeS) investigates the resolved stellar halos of two nearby galaxies (the spiral NGC 253 and the elliptical Centaurus A, D ∼ 4 Mpc) out to a galactocentric radius of 150 kpc ...

Feasibility Study for Application of Digitized Henize Mt. Wilson Michigan Southern Sky Hα$$ \boldsymbol{\alpha} $$ Survey Low‐Dispersive Spectral Plates for Searches for Anomalous and Highly Redshifted Objects

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The goal of this study is to confirm the feasibility of the use of digitized low dispersive MtWilson Michigan Southern Sky Hα$$ \alpha $$ survey astronomical photographic plates for modern astrophysical research. The detection of highly redshifted objects, such as early galaxies and quasars, is fundamental to understanding the universe's ...

The nature and origin of disky elliptical galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The observational trend that disky elliptical galaxies exhibit younger luminosity- weighted ages than boxy ellipticals is investigated. The presence of a possible young stellar disk embedded in these galaxies is explored by comparing kinematics derived ...

AGN Feedback in Elliptical Galaxies: Numerical Simulations

open access: yes, 2011
The importance of feedback (radiative and mechanical) from massive black holes at the centers of elliptical galaxies is not in doubt, given the well established relation among black hole mass and galaxy optical luminosity.

Circular Differential Scattering Spectroscopy for the Characterization of Single Chiral Nanostructures: Fundamentals, Development, and Perspectives

open access: yesNational Materials, EarlyView.
Circular differential scattering (CDS) spectroscopy relies on a modified dark‐field optical microscope to study single chiral nanostructures, avoiding the averaging effects of ensemble methods. Recently achieving improved detection limits of 1.5%, this robust technique analyzes plasmonic chirality and molecular interactions, with the future goal of ...

The Shapes and Ages of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1996
Normally elliptical galaxies are thought to be old, evolved systems, but recently a controversy has arisen over the age of ellipticals. Measurements by Gonzáles (1993, Ph.D. thesis, UCSC) show that the Hβ absorption indices of ellipticals span a range of values.

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

The Extended Baryonic Tully–Fisher Relation for SDSS MaNGA Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The baryonic Tully–Fisher relation (BTFR), a relationship between the rotational velocity and baryonic mass in spiral galaxies, probes the relative content of baryonic and total mass in galaxies and thus provides a good test of dark matter content in ...
