A Coherence Theory of Jurisprudence in the Spirit of Jhering: A Restatement, Update, and Defence of Jhering’s Early Methodology

open access: yesRatio Juris, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 198-235, November 2025.
Abstract This essay revisits the early methodology of Rudolph von Jhering. It has often been dismissed due to its heavy metaphysics, unwieldy presentation, and alleged neglect of teleology. But a charitable reconstruction in contemporary terms reveals a coherence theory of jurisprudence that is in many ways superior to current coherence accounts.

Additional Evidence for the Existence of a Primordial Disk System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The origin of very metal-poor (VMP; [Fe/H] ≤ −2.0) stars on planar orbits has been the subject of great attention since their first discovery. However, prior to the release of the Gaia BP/RP (XP) spectra and large photometric samples such as SkyMapper ...

HEAD IN THE STARS, FEET ON THE GROUND: Scale and Astronomy Initiatives in Southern Africa

open access: yesCultural Anthropology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 571-596, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This article explores the evolution of radio astronomy in South Africa and Madagascar, focusing on how “scale” functions as both a way of understanding the world and marking differences in existence. In outer space research, the ground is crucial but often overlooked.

Icarus Revisited: An Ancient, Metal-poor Accreted Stellar Stream in the Disk of the Milky Way

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The search for accreted satellites in the Galactic disk is a challenging task, to which Gaia plays a crucial role in synergy with ground-based spectroscopic surveys. In 2021, P. Re Fiorentin et al.

The Milky Way and other spiral galaxies

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Cosmologists have often considered the Milky Way as a typical spiral galaxy, and its properties have considerably influenced the current scheme of galaxy formation.

The Stellar Disk Structure Revealed by the Mono-age Populations of the LAMOST Red Clump Star Sample

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Understanding the structure of the Galactic disk is crucial for understanding the formation and evolutionary history of the Milky Way. This study examines the structure of the Galactic disk by analyzing a sample of 138,667 primary red clump (RC) stars ...

Metallicity Mapping of the Ionized Diffuse Gas at the Milky Way Disk–Halo Interface

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Metals in the diffuse, ionized gas at the boundary between the Milky Way’s interstellar medium (ISM) and circumgalactic medium, known as the disk–halo interface (DHI), are valuable tracers of the feedback processes that drive the Galactic fountain ...

Intergalactic Wandering Stars in the Local Universe: Theoretical Predictions for Their Distance and Luminosity Distribution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Intergalactic wandering stars (IWSs) within 10 Mpc remain a poorly explored area of astronomy. Such stars, if they exist, are supposed to be wandering objects as they are not bound by the gravitational potential of any galaxy.

On the Corotation of Milky Way Satellites: LMC-mass Satellites Induce Apparent Motions in Outer Halo Tracers

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Understanding the physical mechanism behind the formation of a corotating thin plane of satellite galaxies, like the one observed around the Milky Way (MW), has been challenging.
