On the Signature of Black Holes on the Quenched Stellar Mass Function

The Astrophysical Journal
As star-forming galaxies approach or exceed a stellar mass of around 10 ^11 M _⊙ , they are increasingly likely to be quenched in a process generically called mass quenching.

A Gradual Decline of Star Formation since Cluster Infall: New Kinematic Insights into Environmental Quenching at 0.3 < z < 1.1

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The environments where galaxies reside crucially shape their star formation histories. We investigate a large sample of 1626 cluster galaxies located within 105 galaxy clusters spanning a large range in redshift (0.26 < z < 1.13). The galaxy clusters are

In silico, in vitro and ex vivo characterization of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator pathogenic variants localized in the fourth intracellular loop and their rescue by modulators

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 24, Page 6063-6080, December 2025.
Background and Purpose Cystic fibrosis (CF) is due to loss‐of‐function variants of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel. The most effective treatment for people with CF carrying the F508del mutation is the triple combination of elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor (ETI).

Climate Emergency and Different Ways to Fail? The Fermi Paradox, the Simulation Hypothesis, Agency and Hope

Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 55, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Humanity seems stuck on different ways to fail to meet the challenge posed by a declared climate emergency and manifest the problems of ecological breakdown. Rather than reprise these failures, we use the Fermi Paradox and simulation hypothesis to make a simple point about agency. The argument unfolds in two sections.

Expected value, to a point: Moral decision‐making under background uncertainty

Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 1093-1125, December 2025.
Abstract Expected value maximization gives plausible guidance for moral decision‐making under uncertainty in many situations. But it has unappetizing implications in ‘Pascalian’ situations involving tiny probabilities of extreme outcomes. This paper shows, first, that under realistic levels of ‘background uncertainty’ about sources of value independent

PAC. V. The Roles of Mass and Environment in the Quenching of Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
The roles that mass and environment play in galaxy quenching are still under debate. Leveraging the Photometric objects Around Cosmic webs method, we analyze the excess surface distribution ${\bar{n}}_{2}{w}_{{\rm{p}}}({r}_{{\rm{p}}})$ of photometric ...

Visionaries and Crackpots, Maniacs and Saints: Existential Risk and the Politics of Longtermism

Ratio, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 268-278, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Despite advancing strong claims about our collective priorities, longtermism has received little attention in debates in political philosophy. I first provide an account of longtermism that highlights the way it departs from established work on intergenerational justice.

AGN-driven quenching of satellite galaxies [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
ABSTRACT We explore the effect of active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback from central galaxies on their satellites by comparing two sets of cosmological zoom-in runs of 27 haloes with masses ranging from 1012 to 1013.4$\rm {M}_{\odot}$ at z = 0, with (wAGN) and without (noAGN) AGN feedback.

JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters—VI. The Lowest‐Mass Objects in M 4 and the Galactic Bulge

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 9, November 2025.
ABSTRACT We present James Webb Space Telescope observations of M 4—the closest globular cluster—that probe the lower Main Sequence down to the hydrogen‐burning limit. The unveiled stellar sequence reaches much fainter luminosities than previously possible, revealing a few extremely red objects that are consistent with brown dwarfs as cool as Teff∼1000K$
