The Role of Interactions and Mergers [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 1998
Galaxy evolution depends strongly on the environment. Dynamical interactions and subsequent evolution make galaxies more concentrated, with higher surface densities, and also trigger star-formation, which consumes the available cold gas. Already at z=0, a large variety of galaxy types are observed, with different evolution stages, from the unevolved ...

Science Triggers and Situational Interest in Everyday Family Life

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interest in science is critical for science learning. The family plays a major role in supporting the development of children's interest in science by eliciting and fostering interest and engagement with science content and practice. This study characterizes triggers for interest in science in everyday family life and measures the duration of ...

H2 MAGIE: H2 as a Major Agent to Galaxy Interaction and Evolution [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
Spitzer space telescope spectroscopy reveal a new class of H2-luminous galaxies with enhanced H2 line emission, but where star formation is strongly suppressed. This is in sharp contrast with what is observed in standard star forming galaxies. These sources are all in active phases of galaxy evolution (galaxy interactions, AGN feedback, gas accretion ...

Radio Diagnostics Of Galaxy Interactions [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999
The Hickson Compact Groups (Hickson 1982) are relatively isolated systems of galaxies with projected separations comparable to the diameters of the galaxies themselves and are an ideal laboratory for the study of the effects of interactions on the various properties of galaxies.

Tools for Learning—Promoting Reflection for Student Teachers' Development of PCK

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how the coherent integration of three different tools for reflection during a science methods course can contribute to student teachers' planning and enactment of science teaching, that is, their development of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK).

The Effect of Seductive Details on Knowledge Retention in Physics Videos: A Mixed Methods Study

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research reports that interesting but irrelevant information, seductive details, in teaching material can impede learning. In science education, the inclusion of historical narratives in lessons to promote interest has been recommended but may hinder learning.

Interacting galaxies in the NGC 697 group of galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2016
AbstractWe studied the morphology of two brightest members of the nearby NGC 697 group of galaxies, and found evidence of satellite accretion onto the primary galaxy NGC 697 of the group as well as outer and inner irregularities of the only early-type galaxy NGC 680 of the group, which are probably shaped by recent dry merging event(s).

Automatic quantitative morphological analysis of interacting galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
The large number of galaxies imaged by digital sky surveys reinforces the need for computational methods for analyzing galaxy morphology. While the morphology of most galaxies can be associated with a stage on the Hubble sequence, morphology of galaxy mergers is far more complex due to the combination of two or more galaxies with different morphologies
