Secondary evolution of galaxies investigated by N-body simulations

open access: yes, 2008
In the ΛCDM cosmology, merging is one of the most important physical processes that drives the formation and evolution of galaxies. In the present work, we use N-body techniques to investigate some of currently open issues related to the formation and ...

MHD numerical simulations in a cosmological context [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Magnetic fields in the Universe are found in almost all studied environments. In particular, their presence in the inter-galactic medium and in the intra-cluster medium is confirmed by diffuse radio emission as well as by observations of Faraday ...

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

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
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.

Form flows function: Learner‐centered game Re‐design in a STEM classroom

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Re‐designing games facilitates interest‐driven learning and immerses learners in systems thinking. However, there are limited studies exploring how the form and function of tabletop games influence learners' design decisions and learning experiences. To address this gap, we conducted a mixed‐methods study in a STEM classroom in western Canada.

Halo modelling in chameleon theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We analyse modelling techniques for the large-scale structure formed in scalar-tensor theories of constant Brans-Dicke parameter which match the concordance model background expansion history and produce a chameleon suppression of the gravitational ...

Rethinking Climate Change on the Role of Human Power Generation, Alternative Perspectives, Potential Solutions, and a Plea for Action

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
All energy matters Let us broaden the discussion on solutions to climate change. Greenhouse gases have upset the delicate equilibrium of the Earth's energy balance. Consequently, all sources of heat affect the temperature of the Earth. Although the amount of additional heat generated by humans is a fraction of that produced by the sun, it is generated ...

A high redshift sample of x-ray selected galaxy clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
This thesis describes the creation of a X-ray selected galaxy cluster catalogue — the Southern Serendipitous High-redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster (SHARC) catalogue — and the use of the high-redshift subsample in constraining models of structure formation.

Stellar clusters in dwarf galaxies

open access: yes, 2006
We present new observations in the Ks (2.2 μm) and L' (3.7 μm) infrared bands of a sample of blue dwarf galaxies with the larger aim of studying the population of massive stellar clusters, the occurrence of dust-embedded stellar clusters, and their ...

The evolution of ultra-diffuse galaxies in nearby galaxy clusters from the Kapteyn IAC WEAVE INT Clusters Survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We study the population of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in a set of eight nearby (z < 0.035) galaxy clusters, from the Kapteyn IAC WEAVE INT Clusters Survey.
