SatGen: a semi-analytical satellite galaxy generator – I. The model and its application to Local-Group satellite statistics [PDF]
ABSTRACT We present a semi-analytical model of satellite galaxies, SatGen, which can generate large statistical samples of satellite populations for a host halo of desired mass, redshift, and assembly history. The model combines dark matter (DM) halo merger trees, empirical relations for the galaxy–halo connection, and analytical ...

Galaxy rotation curves from general relativity with renormalization group corrections [PDF]
We consider the application of quantum corrections computed using renormalization group arguments in the astrophysical domain and show that, for the most natural interpretation of the renormalization group scale parameter, a gravitational coupling parameter $G$ varying $10^{-7}$ of its value across a galaxy (which is roughly a variation of $10^{-12 ...

THE NEXT GENERATION VIRGO CLUSTER SURVEY. VII. THE INTRINSIC SHAPES OF LOW-LUMINOSITY GALAXIES IN THE CORE OF THE VIRGO CLUSTER, AND A COMPARISON WITH THE LOCAL GROUP [PDF]
ABSTRACT We investigate the intrinsic shapes of low-luminosity galaxies in the central 300 kpc of the Virgo Cluster using deep imaging obtained as part of the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). We build a sample of nearly 300 red-sequence cluster members in the yet-unexplored −14 < M g

Properties of Fossil Groups of Galaxies
We review the formation and evolution of fossil groups and clusters from both the theoretical and the observational points of view. In the optical band, these systems are dominated by the light of the central galaxy.

Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis
Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

Chemical and kinematical evolution in nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
Dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the least massive and luminous objects known to exist. These galaxies are often considered as the fossil building blocks of massive systems predicted by some cosmological models.

Cosmological constraints from the clustering of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7 luminous red galaxies [PDF]
We present the power spectrum of the reconstructed halo density field derived from a sample of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Seventh Data Release (DR7).
