The Galaxy Evolution Probe (GEP) is a concept for a mid- and far-infrared space observatory to measure key properties of large samples of galaxies with large and unbiased surveys. GEP will attempt to achieve zodiacal light and Galactic dust emission photon background-limited observations by utilizing a 6-K, 2.0-m primary mirror and sensitive arrays of ...

On the Root Cause of the Host “Mass Step” in the Hubble Residuals of Type Ia Supernovae
It is well established that the Hubble residuals of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) show the luminosity step with respect to their host galaxy stellar masses.

Chemical Homogeneity of Wide Binary Systems: An Approach from Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
Wide binaries, with separations between the two stars from a few au to more than several thousand au, are valuable objects for various research topics in Galactic astronomy.

Unraveling Joint Evolution of Bars, Star Formation, and Active Galactic Nuclei of Disk Galaxies
We aim to unravel the interplay between bars, star formation (SF), and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in barred galaxies. To this end, we utilize the SDSS DR12 to select a sample of nearby (0.02 < z < 0.06) disk galaxies that are suitable for bar ...

We report a rare astrophysical phenomenon, in which an early-type dwarf galaxy (dE), LEDA 1915372, is accreting gas from a nearby star-forming dwarf galaxy, MRK 0689, and is rejuvenating star formation activity at the center.

Fractional yields inferred from halo and thick disk stars [PDF]
Linear [Q/H]-[O/H] relations, Q = Na, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Fe, Ni, are inferred from a sample (N = 67) of recently studied FGK-type dwarf stars in the solar neighbourhood including different populations (Nissen and Schuster 2010, Ramirez et al ...

Secular evolution in galaxies [PDF]
We have adapted the N-body code of Van Albada (1982) to study the secular evolution of a hot collisionless stellar component (E galaxy or galactic bulge) due to slow changes in another component of the same galaxy. Our equilibrium starting model is a non-rotating triaxial ellipsoid with axial ratios 1.3:1.4:2.0; the effects of the “other component” are
