Several condensations heated externally by nearby hot stars are present in the Sgr B2 region for which H2O far-IR lines are expected to probe only an external...
Wave Conversion, Decay, and Heating in a Partially Ionized Two-fluid Magneto-atmosphere
A ray-theoretic phase-space description of linear waves in a two-fluid (charges and neutrals) magnetized plasma is used to calculate analytic decay rates and...
Wave Leakage and Resonant Absorption in a Loop Embedded in a Coronal Arcade
We investigate the temporal evolution of impulsively generated perturbations in a potential coronal arcade with an embedded loop. For the initial configuration...
Wave Propagation and Shock Formation in Different Magnetic Structures
Velocity oscillations "measured" simultaneously at the photosphere and the chromosphere—from time series of spectropolarimetric data in the 10830 Å region—of...
Welcome to the Twilight Zone: The Mid-infrared Properties of Post-starburst Galaxies
We investigate the optical and Wide-field Survey Explorer (WISE) colors of “E+A” identified post-starburst galaxies, including a deep analysis of 190 post...
What do Simulations Predict for the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function and its Evolution in Different Environments?
We present a comparison between the observed galaxy stellar mass function and the one predicted from the De Lucia & Blaizot semi-analytic model applied to the...
When Is a Bulge Not a Bulge? Inner Disks Masquerading as Bulges in NGC 2787 and NGC 3945
We present a detailed morphological, photometric, and kinematic analysis of two barred S0 galaxies with large, luminous inner disks inside their bars. We show...
White Dwarfs in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey Data Release 9
We have identified 8 to 10 new cool white dwarfs from the Large Area Survey (LAS) Data Release 9 of the United Kingdom InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT) Infrared Deep...
Young stellar bars in disk galaxies experience a vertical buckling instability that terminates their growth and thickens them, resulting in a characteristic...
