Distinct Acceleration Relations of Galaxies and Galaxy Clusters from Hyperconical Modified Gravity

The Astrophysical Journal
General relativity (GR) is the most successful theory of gravity, with great observational support on local scales. However, to keep GR valid over cosmic scales, some phenomena require the assumption of exotic dark matter, especially the cosmic expansion

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
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.

Turbulent Gas-rich Disks at High Redshift: Origin of Thick Stellar Disks Through 3D “Baryon Sloshing”

The Astrophysical Journal
In response to recent observations from JWST and Atacama Large Millimeter Array, we explore a new class of dynamically self-consistent models that mimics a plausible progenitor of the Milky Way over a wide range of disk gas fractions, f _gas .

Akkermansia muciniphila enhances chicken resistance to infectious bronchitis virus by boosting GABA synthesis and suppressing the NF‐κB inflammatory pathway

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) represents a major threat to poultry production, with current control strategies offering limited protection. In this study, we demonstrate gut microbiome is a critical determinant of IBV resistance using fecal microbiota transplantation.

Can Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies Host a Central Black Hole?

The Astrophysical Journal
We construct mass models of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies to place constraints on the central black hole masses they can host. We model the galaxies as a three-component system consisting of the stars, dark matter halo, and a central black hole ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community abundance, functions, and symbiotic interactions revealed by root metatranscriptomes

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
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.

Mapping the Active Galactic Nucleus Effects on the Stellar and Gas Properties of NGC 5806

The Astrophysical Journal
It is commonly accepted that active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have a strong impact upon the evolution of their host galaxies, but the processes by which they do so are not fully understood.

Gravitational theory of cosmology, galaxies and galaxy clusters

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2020
A modified gravitational theory explains early universe and late time cosmology, galaxy and galaxy cluster dynamics. The modified gravity (MOG) theory extends general relativity (GR) by three extra degrees of freedom: a scalar field G, enhancing the ...

Possible Systematic Rotation in the Mature Stellar Population of a z = 9.1 Galaxy

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022
We present new observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array for a gravitationally lensed galaxy at z = 9.1, MACS1149-JD1. [O iii ] 88 μ m emission is detected at 10 σ with a spatial resolution of ∼0.3 kpc in the source plane ...

An autonomous and economical benthic incubation chamber for measuring dissolved oxygen fluxes in shallow, low‐flow environments

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Benthic incubation chambers enclose a known volume of water overlying a known area to measure water chemistry changes and are typically used to quantify the metabolic activity of benthic organisms or communities. Here we present an economical benthic incubation chamber for shallow, low‐flow environments, built using off‐the‐shelf components ...
