The data collected in the Shapley-Ames catalog of bright galaxies show that lenticular (S0) galaxies are typically about a magnitude fainter than both elliptical (E) and early spiral (Sa) galaxies.

EMERGE – an empirical model for the formation of galaxies since z ∼ 10 [PDF]
We present EMERGE, an Empirical ModEl for the foRmation of GalaxiEs, describing the evolution of individual galaxies in large volumes from z similar to 10 to the present day.

Artificial Intelligences: A Bridge Toward Diverse Intelligence and Humanity's Future
Many discussions of artificial intelligence fail to address deeper questions being raised by advances in developmental biology, neuroscience, bioengineering, and philosophy of mind. Novel beings, including technologically and biologically augmented humans, engineered life forms, hybrots, and others, require tools of the emerging field of diverse ...

NIR Luminosity Function of Galaxies in Close Major-Merger Pairs and Mass Dependence of Merger Rate
A sample of close major-merger pairs (projected separation ${\rm 5 \leq r \leq 20 h^{-1}}$ kpc, ${\rm K_s}$ band magnitude difference $\delta {\rm K_s} \leq 1$ mag) is selected from the matched 2MASS-2dFGRS catalog of Cole et al. (2001).

COSMIC REIONIZATION AND EARLY STAR-FORMING GALAXIES: A JOINT ANALYSIS OF NEW CONSTRAINTS FROM PLANCK AND THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE [PDF]
We discuss new constraints on the epoch of cosmic reionization and test the assumption that most of the ionizing photons responsible arose from high-redshift star-forming galaxies.

Parametric Design of Continuum Robots Using Interlocking Ball Joints
Herein, a parametric design methodology is introduced for producing a wide variety of modular ball joint‐based continuum robots. It is demonstrate by designing a magnetically actuated continuum robot for cardiac ablations. The methodology is released as an open‐source computer‐assisted design extension that automatically designs continuum robots based ...

Investigation of the Stellar Population of Several Polar Ring Galaxies
We present results of our investigation of two multi-spin galaxies which were taken from the catalog of polar ring galaxies. All of them possess nucleus-like knots.

The V_c-sigma_c relation in high and low surface brightness galaxies
We investigate the relation between the asymptotic circular velocity, V_c, and the central stellar velocity dispersion, sigma_c, in galaxies. We consider a new sample of high surface brightness spiral galaxies (HSB), low surface brightness spiral ...

RECONCILING DWARF GALAXIES WITH ΛCDM COSMOLOGY: SIMULATING A REALISTIC POPULATION OF SATELLITES AROUND A MILKY WAY–MASS GALAXY [PDF]
Low-mass “dwarf” galaxies represent the most significant challenges to the cold dark matter (CDM) model of cosmological structure formation. Because these faint galaxies are (best) observed within the Local Group (LG) of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (
