Evolution of the ISM in starbursting dwarf galaxies [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999
We present a 2D-hydrodynamical simulation of the gas flow generated by a starburst in a dwarf galaxy. We focus in particular on the ejection efficiency both of the ISM and of the metals produced during the burst. It turns out that while the galaxy is able to retain most of the ISM, a significant fraction of the metals is lost, supporting the ...

Questions Should Have Answers

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Making sense of the world often requires one to come up with new ideas, including ideas one had previously been unable to think of. How and when should this be done? I propose and defend a norm of rationality linking wondering, belief, and abilities to conceive: one must not both wonder a question and reject all answers to it that one can ...

Automation and Augmentation in Theological Perspective

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract AI enables forms of automation that threaten unemployment and deskilling, eliminating important opportunities for the development of virtue. The concomitant loss of virtue and meaningful employment makes it a theological problem from the perspective of Catholic social teaching and theological anthropology.

Simulating the ISM in Global Disk Galaxies

, 2008
Until recently, simulations that modeled entire galaxies were restricted to an isothermal or fixed 2- or 3-phase interstellar medium (ISM). This obscured the full role of the ISM in shaping the observed galactic-scale star formation relations. In particular the Kennicutt relation suggests that star formation rates depend in a simple way on global ...

Anxiety and Evidence

Philosophical Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When does an agent possess a proposition P as evidence? According to Timothy Williamson, the answer is when, and only when, they know that P. Call this view E = K. In this article, I point out an unwanted consequence of E = K, which is that people who suffer from anxiety have impoverished empirical evidence due to their anxiety.

Caxton's Afterlife in Manuscript (c.1475‐c.1500)

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract At least thirty‐five manuscript copies of Caxton's prints have been found so far. This article explores the implications of such manuscript copies of Caxton's prints and, interrupting the linear history of the book, considers Caxton's appeal beyond print in manuscript.

Computers in Our Cosmos: Intersections in Geographies of Care, Abolition Geographies and Worker Movements

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT AI assistants on spacecrafts. Netflix streamed through inter‐planetary communication networks. Colonies on Mars by 2050. While the glamorous public–private ventures into outer space curate discussions on the technical specificities of these proposed projects, this paper reorients discussions on such developments through critical frameworks of ...

Minor epic: Notes toward a different “Anthropoetry”

Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Anthropologists have often turned to poetry as a means of accessing emotional registers of which conventional academic prose is unable to avail. In doing so, they have tacitly conflated poetry with lyric poetry, today probably the most widely practiced poetic genre, associated in particular with the expression of inner feelings and subjectival

The ISM of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

, 2000
Using Monte Carlo radiative transfer techniques, we model the dust content of the edge-on low surface brightness (LSB) galaxy UGC 7321 and explore the effects of dust on its disk color gradients. Dust alone cannot explain the large radial disk color gradients observed in this galaxy and we find that a significant fraction (~50%) of the dust in UGC 7321

Clumpy galaxies in cosmological simulations: the effect of ISM model [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
ABSTRACT We study influence by models of interstellar medium (ISM) on properties of galaxies in cosmological simulations. We examine three models widely used in previous studies. The ISM models impose different equations of state on dense gas.
