Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bayesian epistemology faces serious challenges when dealing with self‐locating evidence. This paper argues that, given two modest assumptions about how confirmation should work (Patterning and Live Centers), Bayesianism faces an unavoidable dilemma.

Satellite Galaxy Velocity Dispersions in the SDSS and Modified Gravity Models
Galaxies, 2014 The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) provides data on several hundred thousand galaxies. The precise location of these galaxies in the sky, along with information about their luminosities and line-of-sight (Doppler) velocities, allows one to construct a ...

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.ABSTRACT AI assistants on spacecrafts. Netflix streamed through inter‐planetary communication networks. Colonies on Mars by 2050. While the glamorous public–private ventures into outer space curate discussions on the technical specificities of these proposed projects, this paper reorients discussions on such developments through critical frameworks of ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Space exploration involves many dangers including galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). This class of radiation includes high‐energy protons and heavy ionizing ions. NASA has defined GCR as a carcinogenic risk for long‐duration space missions. To date, no clear strategy has been developed to counter chronic GCR exposure.

The Astrophysical JournalThe abundance of satellite galaxies is set by the hierarchical assembly of their host halo. We leverage this to investigate the low-mass end ( M _H < 10 ^11 M _⊙ ) of the stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR), which is key to constraining theories of ...

, 2019 Both the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy are known to host highly flattened planes of satellite galaxies. These display coherent kinematics, which is consistent with many of their satellite galaxies co-orbiting along the structures. In addition, we recently discovered that a similar satellite structure around Centaurus A also shows coherent ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Impact of the Cosmic Web on the Properties of Galaxies in IllustrisTNG Simulations
The Astrophysical JournalWe investigate the influence of the cosmic web on galaxy properties in the IllustrisTNG simulations. To disentangle the effects of galaxy groups and cosmic filaments, we divide the cosmic web environment into four categories: group, group-dominated ...

Stellar streams around dwarf galaxies in the local Universe
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. While mergers between massive galaxies and their dwarf satellites have been well studied, the properties of dwarf–dwarf satellite mergers are not well constrained.
