Hidden No More: Spotlight on Tidal Disruption Events in Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 5, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are typically discovered in previously quiescent galaxies. However, earlier studies have revealed a handful of TDEs occurring in pre‐existing active galactic nuclei (AGN). We discuss AT2019aalc, a promising TDE candidate in an AGN, and compare it to similar sources.

Composite Bulges. III. A Study of Nuclear Star Clusters in Nearby Spiral Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present photometric and morphological analyses of nuclear star clusters (NSCs)—very dense, massive star clusters present in the central regions of most galaxies—in a sample of 33 massive disk galaxies within 20 Mpc, part of the “Composite Bulges ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Dynamics of the disks of nearby galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, 2008
AbstractI describe how the dynamics of galactic disks can be inferred by imaging and spectroscopy. Next I demonstrate that the decomposition of the rotation curves of spiral galaxies into the contributions by the various components of the galaxies is highly degenerate.

Towards AMR Simulations of Galaxy Formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Numerical simulations present a fundamental building block of our modern theoretical understanding of the Universe. As such the work in this thesis is primarily concerned with understanding fundamental differences that lie between the different ...

Deletion of a Pax1 Sex‐Associated Genomic Region Associated With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Leads to Disc Degeneration, Instability, and Vertebral Rotation in Mice

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Overview of the effects of Pax1‐SAR deletion on gene expression, IVD degeneration, and resultant scoliotic‐like curvature between sexes. Proposed mechanism of sex‐dependent changes in gene expression in females (right) and males (left), resulting in sex‐dependent disc degeneration and scoliotic phenotypes.

Edge‐on disk galaxies in the SDSS DR6: Fractions of bulgeless and other disk galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, 2009
AbstractThe aim of this study is to determine the fractions of different spiral galaxy types, especially bulgeless disks, from a complete and homogeneous sample of 15 127 edge‐on disk galaxies extracted from the sixth data release from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

A physical model of warped galaxy disks

open access: yes, 1998
Warped H 1 gas layers in the outer regions of spiral galaxies usually display a noticeably twisted structure. This structure almost certainly arises primarily as a result of differential precession in the H I disk as it settles toward a preferred ...
