Can We Discover Physical Models Using Machine Learning? A Case Study of Galaxy Sizes
We explore the ability of machine learning methods to discover underlying equations of physics by searching for the equations governing galaxy size in a semianalytic model. This case study allows us to evaluate the process as we know the ground truth. We

Near-IR TRGB Distance to Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy NGC 147 [PDF]
We report the distance modulus of nearby dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 147 estimated from the Tip of Red-giant Branch (TRGB) method applying to the color-magnitude diagrams and luminosity functions in the near-infrared JHK bands.

The intrinsic alignment of galaxies is an important systematic effect in weak-lensing surveys, which can affect the derived cosmological parameters. One direct way to distinguish different alignment models and quantify their effects on the measurement is

In Situ Analysis of Jupiter's Broadband Kilometric Auroral Radio Emissions With Juno
Abstract Among the zoo of Jovian auroral radio emissions, the broadband kilometric (bKOM) component has been the least studied. Taking advantage of Juno in situ measurements within the auroral regions, we surveyed the Juno/Waves radio observations over the 60 first orbits to identify 7 bKOM source candidates.

Chandra Evidence of a Flattened, Triaxial Dark Matter Halo in the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 720 [PDF]
We present an analysis of a Chandra ACIS-S observation of the elliptical galaxy NGC 720, to verify the existence of a dark matter halo and to measure its ellipticity.

Selection of Biofortified Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) Genotypes in Response to Drought Stress
ABSTRACT The development of orange‐ and purple‐fleshed sweet potato genotypes with high nutritional quality and drought tolerance is paramount in the face of climate changes and exponential human population growth. Therefore, the objective was to select biofortified sweet potato genotypes tolerant to drought. Eight progenies developed by the NEOSC‐UFSC

Stellar populations in gas-rich galaxy mergers I. Dependence on star formation history
We investigate the nature of stellar populations of major galaxy mergers between late-type spirals considerably abundant in interstellar medium by performing numerical simulations designed to solve both the dynamical and chemical evolution in a self ...

Volume measurement of microparticles using SEM photogrammetry and 3‐D reconstruction
Abstract In this paper, we introduce a method for volume measurement of microparticles that includes scanning electron microscope photogrammetry with 3‐D model construction. Our results show that our method limits the volume uncertainty to ±10%, which is a significant improvement compared to previous methods (which likely overestimated volume by 100 ...

High resolution soft x-ray spectroscopy of the elliptical galaxy NGC 5044. Results from the reflection grating spectrometer on-board XMM-Newton [PDF]
The results from an X-ray spectroscopic study of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5044 in the center of a galaxy group are presented. The line dominated soft X-ray spectra (mainly Fe-L and $\ion{O}{viii}$ ${\rm Ly\alpha}$) from the diffuse gas are ...

The Stellar Kinematics of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
The kinematic properties of elliptical galaxies are summarized. New developments are discussed in four areas: (i) the Faber-Jackson relation and the role of second parameters (ii) the luminosity-rotation relation (iii) the figures of elliptical galaxies and (iv) the mass-to-light ratio as a function of radius.
