Integral-Field Spectroscopy of High-Redshift Galaxies: Implications for Early Galaxy Evolution [PDF]
, 2006 Several lines of evidence suggest that the most active phase of galaxy evolution, especially in the most massive systems, was largely completed by $z\sim 1$.

Nature's Complexity Alive: Farewell to Several Unificatory Cosmological Arguments for Monism
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Throughout history, numerous thinkers have claimed that monism—in the form of priority monism, existence monism, monotheistic monism, or versions that posit an extra‐cosmic ultimate being—theoretically surpasses pluralism, above all by positing a unified universe.

Plasma physics in clusters of galaxies
Physics of Plasmas, 2003 Clusters of galaxies are the largest self-gravitating structures in the universe. Each cluster is filled with a large-scale plasma atmosphere, in which primordial matter is mixed with matter that has been processed inside stars. This is a wonderful plasma physics laboratory. Our diagnostics are the data we obtain from x-ray and radio telescopes.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Harnessing plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture requires understanding not only whether they can boost crop performance, but also how ecological processes govern their assembly, stability, and functional contributions across environments.

Galaxy evolution as a function of mass and environment: giant and dwarf galaxies in superclusters and in the field [PDF]
, 2008 It has been known for decades that local galaxies can be broadly divided into two distinct populations (e.g. Hubble 1926, 1936; Morgan 1958; de Vaucouleurs 1961).

Simulations All the Way Up! An Atheist's Response to the Fine‐Tuning Argument
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT So the Fine‐tuning Argument goes, because it is so unlikely for the physical constants of the laws of nature to have taken the values that they in fact take, we should significantly raise our credence that God exists. Simulation Arguments argue that our world might be (or, in stronger versions, that it probably is) a mere computer simulation ...

The HI discs of galaxies as probes of the baryonic physics of galaxy evolution
Proceedings of the International Astronomical UnionAbstract Understanding what shapes the cold gas component of galaxies, which both provides the fuel for star formation and is strongly affected by the subsequent stellar feedback, is a crucial step towards a better understanding of galaxy evolution.

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Philosophers often characterize perception as image‐like. There is little agreement, however, about what constitutes an imagistic or iconic representation. This article identifies five signature properties of iconic representations endorsed in the philosophical and scientific literature: item‐richness, feature‐richness, spatiotemporal ...

Fundamental physics from galaxies
, 2022 Galactic-scale tests have proven to be powerful tools in constraining fundamental physics in previously under-explored regions of parameter space. In this thesis we use astrophysical systems to test some of the fundamental principles governing our current theories of the Universe, through the development of source-by-source, Monte Carlo-based forward ...

The Problem of Psychonomic Harmony
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The problem of nomological harmony is the problem of explaining why the laws of nature match or apply to the states of the universe in a way that results in temporal evolution. The problem of psychophysical harmony is the problem of explaining why phenomenal states are paired with physical states and other phenomenal states in surprisingly ...
