Dual-disk galaxies and thermal states of circumgalactic medium
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsDisk galaxies often have dual-disk structures composed of thin disks and thick disks. Recent observations reveal that such duality is ubiquitous across broad galaxy mass and cosmic time.

Population Synthesis Models for Normal Galaxies with Dusty Disks [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2003 To investigate the SEDs of galaxies considering the dust extinction processes in the galactic disks, we present the population synthesis models for normal galaxies with dusty disks. We use PEGASE (Fioc & Rocca-Volmerange 1997) to model them with standard

Formation and Evolution of Disk Galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2003 AbstractGlobal star formation is the key to understanding galaxy disk formation. This in turn depends on gravitational instability of disks and continuing gas accretion as well as minor merging. A key component is feedback from supernovae. Primary observational constraints on disk galaxy formation and evolution include the Schmidt-Kennicutt law, the ...

On the evolution of disk galaxies [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1991 galaxies is presented. A numerical code that simulates the gravitatIonal contraction of a galaxy since the protogalactic phase has been developed. The models are based on a balance between the turbulent energy dissipation of the gas and the energy input from supernovae, the star formation being regulated by the gas conditions through Schmidt's law. The

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Amorphous carbon (αC) is found in various extraterrestrial particles, including those thought to originate from the outer Solar System. αC can form through two main processes involving C‐rich materials: exposure to energetic charged particles and thermal processing.

The Astrophysical JournalWe investigate how differences in the stellar feedback produce disks with different morphologies in Milky Way–like progenitors over 1 ≤ z ≤ 5, using eight state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamics simulation codes in the AGORA project.

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Philosophers often characterize perception as image‐like. There is little agreement, however, about what constitutes an imagistic or iconic representation. This article identifies five signature properties of iconic representations endorsed in the philosophical and scientific literature: item‐richness, feature‐richness, spatiotemporal ...

The Astrophysical JournalDetermining how the galactic environment, especially the high gas densities and complex dynamics in bar-fed galaxy centers, alters the star formation efficiency (SFE) of molecular gas is critical to understanding galaxy evolution.

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.
