Radio‐Wave Propagation in Salt Domes: Implications for a UHE Cosmic Neutrino Detector

Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Salt deposits can be used as a natural dielectric medium for a UHE cosmic neutrino radio detector. Such a detector relies on the capability of reconstructing the initial characteristics of the cosmic neutrino from the measured radio electrical field produced at neutrino’s interaction in salt by the subsequent particle shower.

Luminosities of Barred and Unbarred S0 Galaxies

, 2012
Lenticular galaxies with M_B < -21.5 are almost exclusively unbarred, whereas both barred and unbarred objects occur at fainter luminosity levels. This effect is observed both for objects classified in blue light, and for those that were classified in ...

The Study of Nebular Emission on Nearby Spiral Galaxies in the IFU Era

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
A new generation of wide‐field emission‐line surveys based on integral field units (IFU) is allowing us to obtain spatially resolved information of the gas‐phase emission in nearby late‐type galaxies, based on large samples of HII regions and full two‐dimensional coverage.

S-PLUS: LEnticular Galaxies in Stripe 82

, 2021
This work is a Brazilian-Indian collaboration. It aims at investigating the structuralproperties of Lenticular galaxies in the Stripe 82 using a combination of S-PLUS (Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey) and SDSS data. S-PLUS is a noveloptical multi-wavelength survey which will cover nearly 8000 square degrees of the Southern hemisphere in the ...

A Chandra Observation of the Nearby Lenticular Galaxy NGC 5102: Where are the X-ray Binaries?

, 2005
We present results from a 34 ks Chandra/ACIS-S observation of the nearby (d=3.1 Mpc) lenticular galaxy NGC 5102, previously shown to have an unusually low X-ray luminosity.

Forming Lenticular Galaxies via Violent Disk Instability [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2018
Abstract Lenticular galaxies are generally thought to have descended from spirals via morphological transformation, although recent numerical simulations have shown that minor or even major mergers can also lead to an S0-like remnant. These mechanisms, however, are active in a dense environment such as a group or a cluster of galaxies ...

Implications and Applications of Kinematic Galaxy Scaling Relations

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Galaxy scaling relations, which describe a connection between ostensibly unrelated physical characteristics, testify to an underlying order in galaxy formation that requires understanding. I review the development of a scaling relation that (1) unites the well‐known fundamental plane (FP) relation of giant elliptical galaxies and Tully‐Fisher (TF ...

The Galaxy Population of Abell 1367: The Stellar Mass-Metallicity Relation

, 2011
Using wide baseline broad-band photometry, we analyse the stellar population properties of a sample of 72 galaxies, spanning a wide range of stellar masses and morphological types, in the nearby spiral-rich and dynamically young galaxy cluster Abell 1367.

The Quasar / Galaxy Pair PKS 1327-206 / ESO 1327-2041: Absorption Associated with a Recent Galaxy Merger

, 2010
We present HST/WFPC2 broadband and ground-based Halpha images, H I 21-cm emission maps, and low-resolution optical spectra of the nearby galaxy ESO 1327-2041, which is located 38 arcsec (14 kpc in projection) west of the quasar PKS 1327-206.

NGC 404, A Rejuvenated Lenticular Galaxy on a Merger-Induced, Blueward Excursion into the Green Valley [PDF]

, 2010
We have discovered recent star formation in the outermost portion (1-4x R_25) of the nearby lenticular (S0) galaxy NGC 404 using GALEX UV imaging.
