Galaxy groups can be characterized by the radius of decoupling from cosmic expansion, the radius of the caustic of second turnaround, and the velocity dispersion of galaxies within this latter radius. These parameters can be a challenge to measure, especially for small groups with few members.

Compact Groups Of Galaxies [PDF]
This paper reviews some of the outstanding questions concerning compact groups of galaxies. These relate to the physical nature and dynamical status of the groups, their formation and evolution, and their role in galaxy evolution. The picture that emerges is that compact groups are generally physically dense systems, although often contaminated by ...

Optical observations of M81 galaxy group in narrow band [SII] and Hα filters: Holmberg IX [PDF]
We present observations of the nearby tidal dwarf galaxy Holmberg IX in M81 galaxy group in narrow band [SII] and Hα filters, carried out in March and November 2008 with the 2m RCC telescope at NAO Rozhen, Bulgaria.

I would like to report on some work that Ed Turner and I have done on groups of galaxies and how groups may be used to obtain useful cosmological information. Of course the classic study of groups of galaxies was done by de Vaucouleurs (1975) who made a catalogue of groups and loose associations of galaxies in the local supercluster. Partly to obtain a

The shape of groups of galaxies has been since now a disregarded topic in the literature, mainly due to the fact that individual ellipticity estimates of poor systems are strongly biased toward higher values. Such a bias turns out to depend on both the ellipticity itself and on the richness of the group. In this paper we have devised a modified version

Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis
Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

COMPARISON OF OPTICAL AND X-RAY MASS ESTIMATES OF THE CHANDRA GALAXY CLUSTERS AT Z < 0.1
We used the optical data taken from SDSS DR7 galaxy and group catalog to determine the optical mass of 37 nearer Chandra galaxy clusters for comparison with the X-ray mass estimates.
