Biases in the estimation of velocity dispersions and dynamical masses for galaxy clusters [PDF]
Using a set of 73 numerically simulated galaxy clusters, we have characterised the statistical and physical biases for three velocity dispersion and mass estimators, namely biweight, gapper and standard deviation, in the small number of galaxies regime ...

Velocity Dispersion, Size, Sérsic Index, and Dn4000: The Scaling of Stellar Mass with Dynamical Mass for Quiescent Galaxies [PDF]
We examine the relation between stellar mass, velocity dispersion, size, Sérsic index, and for a volume-limited sample of ∼40,000 quiescent galaxies in the SDSS.

MOND PREDICTION FOR THE VELOCITY DISPERSION OF THE “FEEBLE GIANT” CRATER II [PDF]
Crater II is an unusual object among the dwarf satellite galaxies of the Local Group in that it has a very large size for its small luminosity. This provides a strong test of MOND, as Crater II should be in the deep MOND regime (gin ≈ 34 km2 s−2 kpc−1 ...

Dynamic fluid transport property of hydraulic fractures and its evaluation using acoustic logging
The existing acoustic logging methods for evaluating the hydraulic fracturing effectiveness usually use the fracture density to evaluate the fracture volume, and the results often cannot accurately reflect the actual productivity.

Determining the velocity dispersion of the thick disc [PDF]
We attempt to recover the mean vertical velocity and vertical velocity dispersion as a function of the Galactic height for a sample drawn from a realistic Galaxy distribution function by following the method presented in Moni Bidin et al. (2012). We find that, for the sample size used, the observational error in the velocities is much smaller than the ...

THE SCALING OF STELLAR MASS AND CENTRAL STELLAR VELOCITY DISPERSION FOR QUIESCENT GALAXIES AT z < 0.7 [PDF]
We examine the relation between stellar mass and central stellar velocity dispersion—the M*σ relation—for massive quiescent galaxies at z < 0.7. We measure the local relation from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the intermediate redshift relation from ...

Pictures of Blockscale Transport: Effective versus Ensemble Dispersion and Its Uncertainty [PDF]
Using a Lagrangian framework, we discuss different conceptualizations of the blockscale dispersion tensor. We distinguish effective and ensemble blockscale dispersion, which measure the impact of subscale velocity fluctuations on solute dispersion. Ensemble dispersion quantifies subscale velocity fluctuations between realizations, which overestimates ...

On the wobbles of phase-velocity dispersion curves
SUMMARYTo calculate phase-velocity dispersion curves, we introduce a method which reflects both structural and dynamic effects of wave propagation and interference. Rayleigh-wave fundamental-mode surface waves from the South Atlantic Ocean earthquake of 19 August 2016, M = 7.4, observed at the AlpArray network in Europe are strongly influenced by the ...

On the pairwise velocity dispersion of galaxies [PDF]
Previous statistical results have shown that the pairwise velocity dispersion σ g (r p ) of galaxies at small separations (r p ≃ 1 h −1 Mpc) is about 300 km s −1 . This value is significantly lower than the predictions of currently favoured models of structure formation, unless a large pairwise velocity bias exists between galaxies and the ...

The Velocity Dispersion Function of Very Massive Galaxy Clusters: Abell 2029 and Coma [PDF]
Based on an extensive redshift survey for galaxy clusters Abell 2029 and Coma, we measure the luminosity functions (LFs) and stellar mass functions (SMFs) for the entire cluster member galaxies.
