Formation and Evolution of Disk Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999
We have developed a semianalitical approach to study galaxy formation and evolution in the cosmological context. Disk galaxies (dark matter halo+luminous disk) are considered to be formed through an extended process of gravitational collapse, whose character is determined by the statistical properties of the density fluctuation field assumed here to be

Pairwise dwarf galaxy formation and galaxy downsizing: some clues from extremely metal-poor Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies

open access: yes, 2011
Some of the extremely metal-poor Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies (XBCDs) in the nearby universe form galaxy pairs with remarkably similar properties. This fact points to an intriguing degree of synchronicity in the formation history of these binary dwarf ...

The Thick Disk in the Galaxy NGC 4244 from S^4G Imaging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
If thick disks are ubiquitous and a natural product of disk galaxy formation and/or evolution processes, all undisturbed galaxies that have evolved during a significant fraction of a Hubble time should have a thick disk. The late-type spiral galaxy NGC

Evidence for multiple crossings and stripping of Gaia-Enceladus/Sausage across the Milky Way

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The accretion of Gaia-Enceladus/Sausage (GES) onto the Milky Way (MW) is one of the most prominent features of the Galactic halo revealed by the combination of the Gaia satellite and large spectroscopic surveys.

Self‐Powered Flexible Triboelectric‐Gated Ion‐Gel Transistor for Neuromorphic Tactile Sensing and Human Activity Recognition

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A fully flexible ion‐gel‐gated graphene‐channel transistor driven by a triboelectric nanogenerator enables self‐powered tactile sensing and synaptic learning. Mimicking spike‐rate‐dependent plasticity, the device exhibits frequency‐selective potentiation and depression, supporting rate‐coded neuromorphic computation even under flex.

The “Building Blocks” of Stellar Halos

open access: yesGalaxies, 2017
The stellar halos of galaxies encode their accretion histories. In particular, the median metallicity of a halo is determined primarily by the mass of the most massive accreted object.

Anisotropic Satellite Galaxy Quenching: A Unique Signature of Energetic Feedback by Supermassive Black Holes?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The quenched fraction of satellite galaxies is aligned with the orientation of the halo’s central galaxy, such that on average, satellites form stars at a lower rate along the major axis of the central.

The Morphology of the Active Galactic Nucleus and its Impact on Accretion Flows and Relativistic Jets

open access: yesPhysical Sciences Forum, 2023
The G2 gas cloud motion data and the scarcity of observations on the event horizon-scale distances have challenged the comprehensiveness of the central supermassive black hole model.

The time-evolution of bias [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We study the evolution of the bias factor b and the mass-galaxy correlation coefficient r in a simple analytic model for galaxy formation and the gravitational growth of clustering. The model shows that b and r can be strongly time-dependent, but tend to
