Formation and Evolution of Nucleated Galaxies [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006
AbstractWe discuss how stellar galactic nuclei (SGN) form and evolve during galaxy formation and evolution based on chemodynamical simulations on the central regions (1-1000 pc) of galaxies. Our simulations demonstrate that dissipative formation of SGN through rapid transfer of gas into the central 10 pc of galaxies is more consistent with recent ...

Evidence for a Shallow Evolution in the Volume Densities of Massive Galaxies at z = 4–8 from CEERS

The Astronomical Journal
We analyze the evolution of massive (log _10 [ M _⋆ / M _⊙ ] > 10) galaxies at z ∼ 1–4 selected from JWST Cosmic Evolution Early Release Survey (CEERS). We infer the physical properties of all galaxies in the CEERS NIRCam imaging through spectral energy ...

Pegasus W: An Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxy Outside the Halo of M31 Not Quenched by Reionization

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We report the discovery of an ultrafaint dwarf (UFD) galaxy, Pegasus W, located on the far side of the Milky Way–M31 system and outside the virial radius of M31.

Radiation Hardened Infrared Photodetectors Based on a Narrow Bandgap Conjugated Polymer Semiconductor

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A blackbody‐sensitive infrared photodetector comprised of an open‐shell conjugated polymer demonstrates high sensitivity without cooling and exceptional radiation hardness, surpassing inorganic compound semiconductor devices. This functionality, inherent to the polymer semiconductor, provides a new frontier for low‐cost, size, weight, and power space ...

Deep MOS Spectroscopy of NGC 1316 Globular Clusters

Galaxies, 2017
The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 is the brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster, and displays a number of morphological features that might be interpreted as an intermediate age merger remanent (∼3 Gyr).

RELICS: Small-scale Star Formation in Lensed Galaxies at z = 6–10

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Detailed observations of star-forming galaxies at high redshift are critical to understanding the formation and evolution of the earliest galaxies. Gravitational lensing provides an important boost, allowing observations at physical scales unreachable in

Artificial Intelligences: A Bridge Toward Diverse Intelligence and Humanity's Future

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Many discussions of artificial intelligence fail to address deeper questions being raised by advances in developmental biology, neuroscience, bioengineering, and philosophy of mind. Novel beings, including technologically and biologically augmented humans, engineered life forms, hybrots, and others, require tools of the emerging field of diverse ...

The formation and evolution of low-surface-brightness galaxies [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
Our statistical understanding of galaxy evolution is fundamentally driven by objects that lie above the surface-brightness limits of current wide-area surveys (mu ~ 23 mag arcsec^-2). While both theory and small, deep surveys have hinted at a rich population of low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBGs) fainter than these limits, their formation remains ...

Star Formation Histories and Stellar Mass Growth out to z>1 [PDF]

arXiv, 2009
The deepest multi-wavelength surveys now provide measurements of star formation in galaxies out to z>1, and allow to reconstruct its history for large parts of the galaxy population. I review recent studies, which have consistently revealed a picture where galaxy star formation rates and their evolution are primarily determined by galaxy mass.
