Solar prominences are cool and dense plasma suspended in the million-degree solar corona. Recent observations reveal that prominences are composed of fine and...
Formation of polarized spectral lines in atmospheres with horizontal inhomogeneities
We study the problem of the generation and transfer of spectral line intensity and polarization in models of stellar atmospheres with horizontal plasma...
Formation of S0 galaxies with intermediate kinematics by minor mergers
Recently, it has been found that classifying early-type galaxies into fast and slow rotators based on their kinematics is more in accordance with their physical...
Formation of Slowly Rotating Elliptical Galaxies in Major Mergers. A Resolution Study
We study resolution effects in numerical simulations of gas-rich (20% of the total baryonic mass) major mergers, and show that the formation of slowly-rotating...
Formation of stellar inner disks and rings in spiral galaxies through minor mergers
Recent observations show that inner disks and rings (IDs and IRs) are not preferentially found in barred galaxies, pointing to the relevance of formation...
