Detection Rate of Galaxy Cluster-lensed Stellar Binary Black Hole Mergers by the Third-generation Gravitational-wave Detectors

The Astrophysical Journal
Gravitational waves (GWs) from stellar binary black hole (sBBH) mergers can be strongly gravitational lensed by intervening galaxies/galaxy clusters. Only a few works have investigated cluster-lensed sBBH mergers by adopting oversimplified models, while ...

Mergers and galaxy evolution [PDF]

, 2007
Galaxy merging is the late time manifestation of the galaxy formation process and likely significantly effects z < 1 galaxies. A "maximum reasonable rate" model for merging finds a ,~ 2 mag K band increase in the luminosities of dwarf galaxies so that they contribute significantly to the faint counts, with spirals and ellipticals being far less ...

Edible Pneumatic Battery for Sustained and Repeated Robot Actuation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents an edible energy source and valve system to power soft, pneumatically driven edible robots. A chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate and citric acid generates carbon dioxide gas, and a pressure‐triggered edible valve enables self‐repetitive motion of the edible actuator.

The Connection between Galaxy Mergers, Star Formation, and Active Galactic Nuclei Activity in the HSC-SSP

The Astrophysical Journal
Internal gas inflows driven by galaxy mergers are considered to enhance star formation rates (SFRs), fuel supermassive black hole growth, and stimulate active galactic nuclei (AGNs).

Massive Black Hole Binaries: Dynamical Evolution and Observational Signatures

Advances in Astronomy, 2012
The study of the dynamical evolution of massive black hole pairs in mergers is crucial in the context of a hierarchical galaxy formation scenario. The timescales for the formation and the coalescence of black hole binaries are still poorly constrained ...

A Cosmological Framework for the Co-Evolution of Quasars, Supermassive Black Holes, and Elliptical Galaxies: I. Galaxy Mergers & Quasar Activity

, 2007
(Abridged) We develop a model for the cosmological role of mergers in the evolution of starbursts, quasars, and spheroidal galaxies. Combining halo mass functions (MFs) with empirical halo occupation models, we calculate where major galaxy-galaxy mergers

Merger relics of cluster galaxies [PDF]

, 2013
Context. Sheen and collaborators recently found that a surprisingly large portion (38%) of massive early-type galaxies in heavy clusters show strong merger-related disturbed features.

From Sample to Mixed Reality: A Translational 3D MALDI Imaging Platform for Advanced 3D Spatial Omics Analysis of 3D Cell Culture Disease Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A comprehensive technology platform enables high‐fidelity, volumetric MALDI imaging of 3D cell cultures by integrating custom embedding molds, a semi‐automated computational framework for 3D reconstruction, voxel‐instead of pixel‐based biomarker discovery, and immersive mixed reality data exploration.

Powerful Radio-loud Quasars Are Triggered by Galaxy Mergers in the Cosmic Bright Ages

The Astrophysical Journal
While supermassive black holes are ubiquitous features of galactic nuclei, only a small minority are observed during episodes of luminous accretion. The physical mechanism(s) driving the onset of fueling and ignition in these active galactic nuclei (AGN)

Episodic activities of supermassive black holes at redshift $z\le 2$: driven by mergers?

, 2010
It has been suggested for quite a long time that galaxy mergers trigger activities of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) on the grounds of imaging observations of individual galaxies.
