Quantifying the Impact of Relativistic Precession on Tidal Disruption Event Light Curves

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 5, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The tidal field of a black hole can turn a star into a gas stream whose orbit can precess, especially if the a black hole is rapidly spinning. In this work, we investigate the impact of precession on the light curves of tidal disruption events (TDE).

Can We Discover Physical Models Using Machine Learning? A Case Study of Galaxy Sizes

The Astrophysical Journal
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

Hidden No More: Spotlight on Tidal Disruption Events in Active Galactic Nuclei

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 5, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are typically discovered in previously quiescent galaxies. However, earlier studies have revealed a handful of TDEs occurring in pre‐existing active galactic nuclei (AGN). We discuss AT2019aalc, a promising TDE candidate in an AGN, and compare it to similar sources.

Near-IR TRGB Distance to Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy NGC 147 [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2007
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.

Dynamical Models of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1975
Self-consistent dynamical models of elliptical galaxies have been constructed using a modification of the Prendergast-Tomer algorithm. They reproduce many of the observed properties of elliptical galaxies.

The orientation of elliptical galaxies [PDF]

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2010
We determine the orientations of the light distribution of individual elliptical galaxies by combining the profiles of photometric data from the literature with triaxial models. The orientation is given by a Bayesian probability distribution. The likelihood of obtaining the data from a model is a function of the parameters describing the intrinsic ...

Scheffrahnitermes ubuntu (Isoptera: Apicotermitinae), Description of a New Termite Using a Collaborative Approach to Address the Wallacean Shortfall

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
The study of Neotropical Apicotermitinae remains challenging due to the large number of undescribed taxa (Linnean shortfall) as well as the scarcity of distributional data (Wallacean shortfall). Despite recent efforts to reduce the first one, the second remains an even more significant challenge.

Probing the Age of Elliptical Galaxies

, 1996
In this paper we address the question whether age and metallicity effects can be disentangled with the aid of the broad-band colours and spectral indices from absorption feature strengths, so that the age of elliptical galaxies can be inferred. The observational data under examination are the indices Hbeta and [MgFe], and the velocity dispersion Sigma ...

Uv Fluxes In Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997
The key properties of elliptical galaxies are compared to present-day models calling attention on several points of contradiction. The nature of the UV fluxes and their usefulness to cast light on the age-metallicity dilemma are discussed. Finally, preliminary results of an attempt aimed at reconciling theory with observations by means of an new IMF ...
