Repeating Nuclear Transients From Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events
ABSTRACT Extragalactic nuclear transients that exhibit repeating outbursts can be modeled as the repeated dynamical interaction between bound stars and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). A subset of these transients, with recurrence timescales of months‐to‐years, have been explained as accretion flares from the repeated tidal stripping of a star by an ...

The N-Body Simulation of Galaxy Dynamics
https://rdc.reed.edu/v1/resources/464025b5-739a-4e8c-8091-de070981bbe1/thumb/128.jpgThe N-Body simulation is discussed and applied as a tool for studying the dynamics of disk galaxies, with particular attention paid to the formation of spiral arms and ...

Breaking the Degeneracy between Warps and Radial Flows in External Galaxies
Observations of the line-of-sight (LOS) component of emitter velocities in galaxies are valuable for reconstructing their two-dimensional (2D) velocity fields, albeit requiring certain assumptions.

Quantifying the Impact of Relativistic Precession on Tidal Disruption Event Light Curves
ABSTRACT The tidal field of a black hole can turn a star into a gas stream whose orbit can precess, especially if the a black hole is rapidly spinning. In this work, we investigate the impact of precession on the light curves of tidal disruption events (TDE).

The nature and origin of disky elliptical galaxies [PDF]
The observational trend that disky elliptical galaxies exhibit younger luminosity- weighted ages than boxy ellipticals is investigated. The presence of a possible young stellar disk embedded in these galaxies is explored by comparing kinematics derived ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services
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.

Pleistocene glaciations have shaped freshwater fish evolution and distribution patterns across North America. This study investigated the phylogeographical history of the Western Blacknose Dace (Rhinichthys obtusus) using mitochondrial genomic data, revealing three major clades that diverged 2–1.5 million years ago during Pleistocene glaciations when ...

Interstellar medium properties and star formation in nearby galaxies
Includes bibliographical references.We study the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) of nearby galaxies from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) by analyzing the shapes of their HI emission velocity profiles.

Non Newtonian Dynamics in Galaxies and Satellite Galaxies
Recent studies have thrown up a big enigma. On the one hand they point to satellite galaxies rotating faster than they should with the usual theory. On the other hand they also go against explanation of Newtonian gravity with dark matter. In this brief note it is argued that the varying $G$ cosmology which explains all the observed General Relativistic

Paradigm shift: PCR‐free methods reveal 6–15‐fold higher arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal abundance than metabarcoding, exposing systematic underestimation across decades of research. Predictive power: AM fungal abundance serves as a community‐level trait that predicts crop yield under drought conditions.
