From voids to filaments: environmental transformations of galaxies in the SDSS

open access: yes, 2017
We investigate the impact of filament and void environments on galaxies, looking for residual effects beyond the known relations with environment density. We quantified the host environment of galaxies as the distance to the spine of the nearest filament,

On the Origin of Density Cusps in Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We investigated the dynamical reaction of the central region of galaxies to a falling massive black hole by N-body simulations. As the initial galaxy model, we used an isothermal King model and placed a massive black hole at around the half-mass radius ...

The elliptical galaxy colour–magnitude relation as a discriminant between the monolithic and merger paradigms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The colour-magnitude relation (CMR) of cluster elliptical galaxies has been widely used to constrain their star formation histories (SFHs) and to discriminate between the monolithic collapse and merger paradigms of elliptical galaxy formation.

Astragalus zhobensis, a new species of section Caprini (Fabaceae) from Zhob, northern Balochistan, Pakistan

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species Astragalus zhobensis, from Qamardin Karez, Zhob district, northern Balochistan, Pakistan is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to A. cartilagineus, but can be distinguished by strigose hairs 3–5 mm long, (not stiff 1.5−4.0 mm long hairs); stipules 5–15 mm (not 8−12 mm) long; leaflets in 4–6 pairs, (not 3–

Detection, Photometry, and Slitless Radial Velocities of 535 Planetary Nebulae in the Flattened Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4697 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We have detected 535 planetary nebulae (PNs) in the flattened elliptical galaxy NGC 4697 using the classic on-band, off-band filter technique with the Focal Reducer and Spectrograph at the Cassegrain focus of the first 8 m telescope unit of the ESO Very ...

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.

Detection of a Star Forming Galaxy in the Center of a Low-Mass Galaxy Cluster

open access: yes, 2018
Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) residing in the centers of galaxy clusters are typically quenched giant ellipticals. A recent study hinted that star-forming galaxies with large disks, so-called superluminous spirals and lenticulars, are the BCGs of a ...

Galaxy Formation from a Low-Spin Density Perturbation in a CDM Universe [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
In order to understand the formation process of elliptical galaxies which are not rotationally supported, we have carried out numerical simulations of the galaxy formation from the density perturbation with a rotation corresponding to a small spin ...

Chandra X-Ray Observations of the X-Ray Faint Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4697 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
A Chandra ACIS S3 observation of the X-ray faint elliptical galaxy NGC 4697 resolves much of the X-ray emission (61% of the counts from within one effective radius) into 90 point sources, of which ~80 are low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) associated with ...

From cells to pixels: A decision tree for designing bioimage analysis pipelines

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Bioimaging has transformed our understanding of biological processes, yet extracting meaningful information from complex datasets remains a challenge, particularly for biologists without computational expertise. This paper proposes a simple general approach, to help identify which image analysis methods could be relevant for a given image ...
