The Environment Of Galaxies And Groups Of Galaxies [PDF]

In this thesis, we employ two numerical tools - semi-\ud analytical models and N-body plus hydrodynamical simulations of large scale structure and individual galaxies - to explore the underlying physics governing the formation and evolution of groups of galaxies, and the role of environment in generating polar structures around disk galaxies.\ud \ud ...

Low‐dose X‐ray radiation induces an adaptive response: A potential countermeasure to galactic cosmic radiation exposure

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space exploration involves many dangers including galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). This class of radiation includes high‐energy protons and heavy ionizing ions. NASA has defined GCR as a carcinogenic risk for long‐duration space missions. To date, no clear strategy has been developed to counter chronic GCR exposure.

Buzzard to Cardinal: Improved Mock Catalogs for Large Galaxy Surveys

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the Cardinal mock galaxy catalogs, a new version of the Buzzard simulation that has been updated to support ongoing and future cosmological surveys, including the Dark Energy Survey (DES), DESI, and LSST.

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Galaxy mergers in a fractal cosmology

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
This work discusses the influence of galaxy mergers in the evolution of a parabolic Lemaître–Tolman–Bondi (LTB) cosmology with simultaneous big bang endowed with two consecutive single fractal galaxy distributions systems possessing fractal dimension D ...

The origin of gas stripping of galaxies in group environments

Astronomy & Astrophysics
We investigate how low-mass group environments (Mvir ∼ 1012 − 13 M⊙) influence the gas content of their satellite galaxies with M* > 107 M⊙ using the NEWHORIZON2 simulation.

50% body weight loading reduces stature increases and lumbar disc expansion from 4 h hyper‐buoyancy floatation versus 15 min sitting upright

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Stacking and Analyzing MOSDEF Galaxies by Spectral Types: Implications for Dust Geometry and Galaxy Evolution

The Astrophysical Journal
We examine star formation and dust properties for a sample of 660 galaxies at 1.37 ≤ z ≤ 2.61 in the MOSDEF survey by dividing them into groups with similarly shaped spectral energy distributions (SEDs).

Cerebrovascular pulsatility following long duration spaceflight is associated with changes in pulse pressure and carotid artery stiffness

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central artery stiffening increases the haemodynamic pulsations transmitted downstream towards target organs, including the brain. While recent evidence suggests that long duration spaceflight is associated with reduced common carotid artery (CCA) distensibility, cerebrovascular pulsatility has not been extensively characterized in astronauts.
