Realizing normal group-velocity dispersion in free space via angular dispersion [PDF]
It has long been thought that normal group-velocity dispersion (GVD) cannot be produced in free space via angular dispersion. Indeed, conventional diffractive or dispersive components such as gratings or prisms produce only anomalous GVD. We identify the conditions that must be fulfilled by the angular dispersion introduced into a plane-wave pulse to ...

Velocity Dispersion of Ionized Gas and Multiple Supernova Explosions
We use 3D numerical simulations to study the evolution of the Hα intensity and velocity dispersion for single and multiple supernova (SN) explosions. We find that the IHα– σ diagram obtained for simulated gas flows is similar in shape to that observed in

Resolved gas kinematics in a sample of low-redshift high star-formation rate galaxies [PDF]
We have used integral field spectroscopy of a sample of six nearby (z~0.01-0.04) high star-formation rate (SFR~10-40 solar masses per year) galaxies to investigate the relationship between local velocity dispersion and star formation rate on sub-galactic scales.

Tracing Dark Matter Halos with Satellite Kinematics and the Central Stellar Velocity Dispersion of Galaxies [PDF]
It has been suggested that the central stellar velocity dispersion of galaxies can trace dark matter halo mass directly. We test this hypothesis using a complete spectroscopic sample of isolated galaxies surrounded by faint satellite galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12.

The Dynamics of Dense Cores in the Perseus Molecular Cloud II: The Relationship Between Dense Cores and the Cloud [PDF]
We utilize the extensive datasets available for the Perseus molecular cloud to analyze the relationship between the kinematics of small-scale dense cores and the larger structures in which they are embedded.

Self‐Similarity and the Pair Velocity Dispersion [PDF]
We have considered linear two point correlations of the form $1/{x^ }$ which are known to have a self-similar behaviour in a $ =1$ universe. We investigate under what conditions the non-linear corrections, calculated using the Zel'dovich approximation, have the same self-similar behaviour.

Velocity and dispersion of heavy oils [PDF]
Acoustic properties of heavy oils have been investigated based on laboratory measurement and modeling studies. Based on newly measured shear velocity data in extended low temperature, we have revealed a full spectrum of shear velocity of heavy oils as function of temperature, which we have applied to calibrate viscosity of heavy oils.

Stellar Velocity Dispersion: Linking Quiescent Galaxies to their Dark Matter Halos [PDF]
We analyze the Illustris-1 hydrodynamical cosmological simulation to explore the stellar velocity dispersion of quiescent galaxies as an observational probe of dark matter halo velocity dispersion and mass. Stellar velocity dispersion is proportional to dark matter halo velocity dispersion for both central and satellite galaxies.

The Blackhole-Dark Matter Halo Connection [PDF]
We explore the connection between the central supermassive blackholes (SMBH) in galaxies and the dark matter halo through the relation between the masses of the SMBHs and the maximum circular velocities of the host galaxies, as well as the relationship ...

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world
How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to
