Close Pairs as Proxies for Galaxy Cluster Mergers

open access: yes, 2008
Galaxy cluster merger statistics are an important component in understanding the formation of large-scale structure. Unfortunately, it is difficult to study merger properties and evolution directly because the identification of cluster mergers in ...

An Integral Field Study of Abundance Gradients in Nearby LIRGs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present for the first time metallicity maps generated using data from the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) on the ANU 2.3m of 9 Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs) and discuss the abundance gradients and distribution of metals in these systems.

Machine Learning‐Augmented Loop‐Mediated Isothermal Amplification‐Enabled Point‐of‐Care for Mpox‐Specific Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A low‐cost, portable point‐of‐care platform for rapid Mpox detection using loop‐mediated isothermal amplification is reported. The device integrates fluorescence readout and mobile monitoring. A machine‐learning model analyzes temperature data and correlates thermal changes with DNA concentration, enabling sensitive and reliable molecular diagnosis in ...

The THESEUS Space Mission and the Infrared Telescope Calibration Unit

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Transient High‐Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS) is an ESA M7 mission concept currently in Phase A, designed to exploit gamma‐ray bursts to probe the early Universe while advancing multi‐messenger and time‐domain astrophysics. To achieve its ambitious goals, THESEUS will combine wide‐band x‐ray and gamma‐ray monitors with an

Bar Formation during a Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus-like Merger Event

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Bars are among the most prominent galactic structures, yet their formation mechanisms remain incompletely understood. They can form either internally, via dynamical instabilities, or externally, triggered by interactions with other galaxies.

Numerical simulations of dwarf galaxy merger trees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We investigate the evolution of dwarf galaxies using N -body/SPH simulations that incorporate their formation histories through merger trees constructed using the ex- tended Press-Schechter formalism.

The Shocking Features in the Closest Rich Galaxy Cluster Norma

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The merger shocks generated by the collision of galaxy clusters elevate the pressure within the intracluster medium, significantly influencing the evolution of embedded cluster galaxies.

Quantifying the Impact of Relativistic Precession on Tidal Disruption Event Light Curves

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The tidal field of a black hole can turn a star into a gas stream whose orbit can precess, especially if the a black hole is rapidly spinning. In this work, we investigate the impact of precession on the light curves of tidal disruption events (TDE).

Sumo Puff: Tidal Debris or Disturbed Ultra-Diffuse Galaxy?

open access: yes, 2017
We report the discovery of a diffuse stellar cloud with an angular extent $\gtrsim30^{\prime\prime}$, which we term "Sumo Puff", in data from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP). While we do not have a redshift for this object, it is

The Halo Shape and Evolution of Polar Disc Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We examine the properties and evolution of a simulated polar disc galaxy. This galaxy is comprised of two orthogonal discs, one of which contains old stars (old stellar disc), and the other, containing both younger stars and the cold gas (polar disc) of ...
