A Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 Study of the Resolved Stellar Population of the Pegasus Dwarf Irregular Galaxy (DDO 216) [PDF]
The stellar population of the Pegasus dwarf irregular galaxy is investigated in images taken in the F439W (B), F555W (V), and F814W (I) bands with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) on the Hubble Space Telescope.

Hunting for Paradoxes: A Research Strategy for Cognitive Science
Abstract How should we identify interesting topics in cognitive science? This paper suggests that one useful research strategy is to hunt for, and attempt to resolve, paradoxes: that is, apparent or real contradictions in our understanding of the mind and of thought.

First Stellar Abundances in the Dwarf Irregular Galaxy Sextans A [PDF]
We present the abundance analyses of three isolated A-type supergiant stars in the dwarf irregular galaxy Sextans A (=DDO 75) from high-resolution spectra obtained with the Ultraviolet-Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) on the Kueyen telescope (UT2) of ...

Ultradeep Imaging of Nearby Dwarf Irregular Galaxies: Young Objects in the Far Outer Disk
Ultradeep UBVI imaging of 10 nearby (≤7.8 Mpc) noninteracting dwarf irregular galaxies are used to examine their far outer stellar disks. The annulus between 26 mag arcsec ^−2 and 29 mag arcsec ^−2 in the V band is what we define as the far outer disk ...

A γ-Ray-emitting Collisional Ring Galaxy System in Our Galactic Neighborhood
The astrophysical γ -ray photons carry the signatures of the violent phenomena happening on various astronomical scales in our Universe. This includes supernova remnants, pulsars, and pulsar wind nebulae in the Galactic environment and extragalactic ...

Interstellar gas motions around massive star formation regions in the nearby dwarf galaxy DDO43
Areas of massive star formation are strongly influenced by stellar winds and supernovae, therefore, enhanced turbulent flows are expected. We analyse high-quality Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array observations of the neutral hydrogen gas content of DDO43,

Galaxy Morphological Classification with Zernike Moments and Machine Learning Approaches
Classifying galaxies is an essential step for studying their structures and dynamics. Using GalaxyZoo2 (GZ2) fractions thresholds, we collect 545 and 11,735 samples in nongalaxy and galaxy classes, respectively.

A Luminous X-Ray Active Galactic Nucleus in the Dwarf–Dwarf Galaxy Merger RGG 66
We present the discovery of a luminous X-ray active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the dwarf galaxy merger RGG 66. The black hole is predicted to have a mass of M _BH ∼ 10 ^5.4 M _⊙ and to be radiating close to its Eddington limit ( L _bol / L _Edd ∼ 0.75 ...
