Velocity Dispersions of Brightest Cluster Galaxies and Their Host Clusters [PDF]
We explore connections between brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and their host clusters. We first construct a HeCS-omnibus cluster sample including 227 galaxy clusters within $0.02 < z < 0.30$; the total number of spectroscopic members from MMT/Hectospec and SDSS observations is 52325.

The velocity dispersion and mass function of the outer halo globular cluster Palomar 4 [PDF]
We obtained precise line-of-sight radial velocities of 23 member stars of the remote halo globular cluster Palomar 4 (Pal 4) using the High Resolution Echelle Spectrograph (HIRES) at the Keck I telescope. We also measured the mass function of the cluster

Einstein on the Impossibility of Superluminal Velocities [PDF]
In 1907 Einstein discussed with Wilhelm Wien the occurrences of superluminal velocities in dispersive and absorptive media. Einstein tried to present to Wien an expression for the group velocity in dispersive media that was based on his 1905 relativistic addition theorem for velocities, which he claimed to be valid for absorptive media, and to ...

This work assesses the feasibility of the direct use of surface-wave dispersion curves from seismic ambient noise to gain insight into the crustal structure of Bransfield Strait and detect seasonal seismic velocity changes. We cross-correlated four years

Calibrating stellar velocity dispersions based on spatially-resolved h-band spectra for improving the m-sigma relation [PDF]
To calibrate stellar velocity dispersion measurements from optical and near-IR stellar lines, and to improve the black hole mass (MBH)- stellar velocity dispersion (sigma) relation, we measure stellar velocity dispersions based on high quality H-band spectra for a sample of 31 nearby galaxies, for which dynamical MBH is available in the literature.

In this paper we experimentally demonstrate a femtosecond all-polarization- maintaining laser amplifier in an all-fiber scheme, which consists of a mode-locked oscillator and a two-stage amplifier.

THE COSMOLOGICAL SIZE AND VELOCITY DISPERSION EVOLUTION OF MASSIVE EARLY-TYPE GALAXIES [PDF]
We analyze 40 cosmological re-simulations of individual massive galaxies with present-day stellar masses of M* > 6.3 × 1010 M☉ in order to investigate the physical origin of the observed strong increase in galaxy sizes and the decrease of the stellar ...

What drives the evolution of gas kinematics in star-forming galaxies? [PDF]
One important result from recent large integral field spectrograph (IFS) surveys is that the intrinsic velocity dispersion of galaxies traced by star-forming gas increases with redshift. Massive, rotation-dominated discs are already in place at z~2, but they are dynamically hotter than spiral galaxies in the local Universe.
