Stellar Populations with MaNGA: Iron Kink and Nitrogen Fuzz
The Astrophysical JournalRecent analysis of 2968 MaNGA early-type galaxies has yielded two notable trends with velocity dispersion ( σ ) not previously discussed in the literature. First, Fe abundance rises with σ but only until σ ≈ 100 km s ^−1 , after which it falls.

Direct SMBH Formation Driven by Runaway Stellar Collisions in Globally Unstable Stellar Systems
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The fueling problem addresses the ultimate fate of the reservoirs of gas and stars driven into the deepest gravitational potential wells of galaxies, thus it may contain the Universe's densest concentrations of gas and stars. This raises a key question: does the infalling material collapse directly into a supermassive black hole, or can it ...

The Astrophysical JournalThe spectral energy distribution (SED) of galaxies is essential for deriving fundamental properties like stellar mass and star formation history (SFH). However, conventional methods, including both parametric and nonparametric approaches, often fail to ...

Arp 220: A Post-starburst Galaxy with Little Current Star Formation outside of Its Nuclear Disks
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The ultraluminous infrared galaxy Arp 220 is a late-stage merger with several tidal structures in the outskirts and two very compact, dusty nuclei that show evidence for extreme star formation and host at least one active galactic nucleus (AGN).

Simulating supernova feedback in galaxy disks [PDF]
, 2012 In this thesis I examine supernova feedback in hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy disks. Understanding this process entails the numerical evaluation of cooling in radiative shocks, and we present a set of simulations using two widely used numerical ...

The Age of Questions: Truth Regimes and Subjectivity in the Era of Large Language Models
Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This essay explores how digital technologies shape subjectivity's infra‐political constitution, focusing on large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT or Gemini within what philosophers, inspired by Michel Foucault, term the “digital truth regime.” After defining this regime, the essay identifies five key traits of LLMs: presentism in truth ...

Radial Gradients and Intrinsic Scatter in MaNGA Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesWe derive stellar population parameters and radial gradients within 0.65 R _e for spatially resolved spectra of 2968 early-type galaxies from MaNGA, spanning stellar velocity dispersions ( σ ) of 50–340 km s ^−1 .

Stellar Archeology: What White Dwarf Stars Tell Us About the History of the Galaxy [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2012 White dwarf stars have played important roles in rather diverse areas of astrophysics. This paper outlines how these stellar remnants, especially those in widely separated “fragile” binaries, have provided unique leverage on difficult astrophysical ...

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Force plates (FP) are considered the gold standard for quantitative equine gait evaluation but are limited to experimental use. An instrumented hoof boot (IHB) with pressure sensors and an inertial measurement unit would allow clinicians to objectively assess kinetic parameters and gait symmetry.

The Average Stellar Population Age and Metallicity of Intermediate-redshift Quiescent Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalThe HectoMAP spectroscopic survey provides a unique mass-limited sample of more than 35,000 quiescent galaxies ( D _n 4000 > 1.5) covering the redshift range 0.2 10 ^11 M _⊙ ) assemble the bulk of their stars at earlier epochs.
