Composite bulges: the coexistence of classical bulges and discy pseudo-bulges in S0 and spiral galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014
We study nine S0-Sb galaxies with (photometric) bulges consisting of two distinct components. The outer component is a flattened, kinematically cool, disklike structure: a "disky pseudobulge". Embedded inside is a rounder, kinematically hot spheroid: a "classical bulge".

Abundance jump in the inner bulges of galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1993
The metallicity difference of about an order between the kinematically decoupled nuclei and the surrounding bulges is found in 3 spiral galaxies possessing an axisymmetric potential in their centres.

A Counterrotating Bulge in the Sb Galaxy NGC 7331 [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1996
We have found that the bulge of the large, nearby Sb galaxy NGC 7331 rotates retrograde to its disk. Analysis of spectra in the region of the near-IR Ca II triplet along the major axis shows that, in the radial range between 5'' and ~20'', the line of sight velocity distribution of the absorption lines has two distinct peaks, and can be decomposed into

BULGES OF NEARBY GALAXIES WITHSPITZER: SCALING RELATIONS IN PSEUDOBULGES AND CLASSICAL BULGES [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2010
We investigate scaling relations of bulges using bulge-disk decompositions at 3.6 micron and present bulge classifications for 173 E-Sd galaxies within 20 Mpc. Pseudobulges and classical bulges are identified using Sersic index, HST morphology, and star formation activity (traced by 8 micron emission).

Deletion of a Pax1 Sex‐Associated Genomic Region Associated With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Leads to Disc Degeneration, Instability, and Vertebral Rotation in Mice

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Overview of the effects of Pax1‐SAR deletion on gene expression, IVD degeneration, and resultant scoliotic‐like curvature between sexes. Proposed mechanism of sex‐dependent changes in gene expression in females (right) and males (left), resulting in sex‐dependent disc degeneration and scoliotic phenotypes.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

The bulge-disc decomposition of AGN host galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016
We present the results from a study of the morphologies of moderate luminosity X-ray selected AGN host galaxies in comparison to a carefully mass-matched control sample at 0.5 < z < 3 in the CANDELS GOODS-S field. We apply a multi-wavelength morphological decomposition analysis to these two samples and report on the differences between the ...

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the String‐Theoretical Swampland Programme

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.

The Bochum Survey of the Southern Galactic Disk: III. Complete Data Release

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Southern Galactic Disk Survey (GDS) monitored a mosaic of 268 fields along a 6°$$ {6}^{{}^{\circ}} $$‐wide stripe in the southern Galactic disk with simultaneous observations in r′$$ {r}^{\prime } $$ and i′$$ {i}^{\prime } $$ (7m≲r′,i′≲18m$$ {7}^{\mathrm{m}}\lesssim {r}^{\prime },{i}^{\prime}\lesssim {18}^{\mathrm{m}} $$) from September ...
