The properties of fossil groups of galaxies [PDF]

Astronomische Nachrichten, 2009
AbstractNumerical simulations as well as optical and X‐ray observations over the last few years have shown that poor groups of galaxies can evolve to what is called a fossil group. Dynamical friction as the driving process leads to the coalescence of individual galaxies in ordinary poor groups leaving behind nothing more than a central, massive ...

Humanized immune system animal models and their recent applications

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this review, we provide an updated and comprehensive overview of the current state of humanized immune system animal model research. We discuss the variety of techniques used to produce humanized mice with their respective strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate the advantages and limitations of these models, including issues with incomplete immune ...

The M31–M33 Interaction: Impact on M31’s Center-of-mass Motion and Satellite Orbits

The Astrophysical Journal
Inspired by recent studies of the interaction between the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud and its implications for the Milky Way’s global dynamical history, we investigate how the massive satellite galaxy M33 influences the position and velocity

Are Brightest Halo Galaxies Central Galaxies?

, 2011
It is generally assumed that the central galaxy in a dark matter halo, that is, the galaxy with the lowest specific potential energy, is also the brightest halo galaxy (BHG), and that it resides at rest at the centre of the dark matter potential well ...

Form flows function: Learner‐centered game Re‐design in a STEM classroom

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Re‐designing games facilitates interest‐driven learning and immerses learners in systems thinking. However, there are limited studies exploring how the form and function of tabletop games influence learners' design decisions and learning experiences. To address this gap, we conducted a mixed‐methods study in a STEM classroom in western Canada.

HerS-3: An Exceptional Einstein Cross Reveals a Massive Dark Matter Halo

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a study of HerS-3, a dusty star-forming galaxy at z _spec  = 3.0607, which is gravitationally amplified into an Einstein cross with a fifth image of the background galaxy seen at the center of the cross.

Multiwavelength Observations of the Second Largest Known FR II Radio Galaxy, NVSS 2146+82 [PDF]

, 2000
We present multi-frequency VLA, multicolor CCD imaging, optical spectroscopy, and ROSAT HRI observations of the giant FR II radio galaxy NVSS 2146+82. This galaxy, which was discovered by the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS), has an angular extent of nearly 20'

A Physically Motivated Framework to Compare Pair Fractions of Isolated Low- and High-mass Galaxies across Cosmic Time

The Astrophysical Journal
Low-mass galaxy pair fractions are understudied, and it is unclear whether low-mass pair fractions evolve in the same way as more massive systems over cosmic time. In the era of JWST, Roman, and Rubin, selecting galaxy pairs in a self-consistent way will

Elemental Abundances in M31: Individual and Coadded Spectroscopic [Fe/H] and [α/Fe] throughout the M31 Halo with SPLASH

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present spectroscopic chemical abundances of red giant branch stars in Andromeda (M31), using medium-resolution ( R ∼ 6000) spectra obtained via the Spectroscopic and Photometric Landscape of Andromeda’s Stellar Halo survey.
