CLusters in the Uv as EngineS (CLUES). II. Subkiloparsec-scale Outflows Driven by Stellar Feedback

The Astronomical Journal
We analyze the far-ultraviolet (1130−1770 Å rest frame) spectroscopy of 20 young (10 ^4 M _⊙ ) star clusters (YSCs) in 11 nearby star-forming galaxies. We probe the interstellar gas intervening along the line of sight, detecting several metal absorption ...

Traction Force Microscopy for Viscoelastic Substrates: A Semi‐Analytical Method

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A semi‐analytical viscoelastic traction force microscopy framework is introduced for quantifying time‐resolved cell tractions on flat finite‐thickness substrates. The method generalizes elastic traction force microscopy to Generalized Maxwell materials, identifies when elastic approximations remain valid and, when they do not, shows that inferred ...

Stellar kinematics in disk galaxies

, 2000
n this thesis several aspects of the stellar kinematics in disk galaxies have been addressed. Due to the low surface brightness of these systems the number of studies that have addressed these issues has been fairly limited. However, kinematic studies, especially stellar kinematics because stars make up the bulk of a galaxy's visible matter, remain ...
