Constraining Dark Energy from the Local Group Dynamics

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
This Letter develops a method to constrain the cosmological constant Λ from binary galaxies, focusing on the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. We provide an analytical solution to the two-body problem with Λ and show that the ratio between the Keplerian ...

The APOSTLE simulations: solutions to the Local Group's cosmic puzzles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Local Group of galaxies offer some of the most discriminating tests of models of cosmic structure formation. For example, observations of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda satellite populations appear to be in disagreement with N-body simulations of ...

Reionization time of the Local Group and Local-Group-like halo pairs

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022
ABSTRACT Patchy cosmic reionization resulted in the ionizing UV background asynchronous rise across the Universe. The latter might have left imprints visible in present-day observations. Several numerical simulation-based studies show correlations between the reionization time and overdensities and object masses today. To remove the mass

Star Formation Histories with Gaia: The Galaxy and Beyond

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
ESA’s Gaia mission will provide accurate astrometric, photometric and spectroscopic data for millions of stars in the Galaxy and beyond. We discuss the prospects of using this vast amount of astrophysical information for understanding star formation ...

The Complex Upper HR Diagram

open access: yesGalaxies, 2019
Several decades of observations of the most massive and most luminous stars have revealed a complex upper HR Diagram, shaped by mass loss, and inhabited by a variety of evolved stars exhibiting the consequences of their mass loss histories.

Cognitive side-effects of electroconvulsive therapy: what are they, how to monitor them and what to tell patients

open access: yesBJPsych Open, 2020
BackgroundElectroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is recommended in treatment guidelines as an efficacious therapy for treatment-resistant depression. However, it has been associated with loss of autobiographical memory and short-term reduction in new learning ...

Chains of Group Localizations [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Algebra, 2011
We construct long sequences of localization functors L_a in the category of abelian groups such that L_a > L_b for infinite cardinals a < b less than some k. For sufficiently large free abelian groups F and a < b we have proper inclusions of L_aF into L_bF.

The statistical challenge of constraining the low-mass IMF in local group dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We use Monte Carlo simulations to explore the statistical challenges of constraining the characteristic mass ($m_c$) and width ($\sigma$) of a lognormal sub-solar initial mass function (IMF) in Local Group dwarf galaxies using direct star counts.

Cellular Covers of Local Groups [PDF]

open access: yesMediterranean Journal of Mathematics, 2018
We prove that, in the category of groups, the composition of a cellularization and a localization functor need not be idempotent. This provides a negative answer to a question of Emmanuel Dror Farjoun.

Cotton leaf segmentation with composite backbone architecture combining convolution and attention

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Plant leaf segmentation, especially leaf edge accurate recognition, is the data support for automatically measuring plant phenotypic parameters. However, adjusting the backbone in the current cutting-edge segmentation model for cotton leaf segmentation ...
