Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the reviews: "Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts has appeared in semi-annual volumes since 1969 and it has already become one of the fundamental publications in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics and neighbouring sciences. It is the most important English-language abstracting journal in the mentioned branches. ...The abstracts are classified under more than a hundred subject categories, thus permitting a quick survey of the whole extended material. The AAA is a valuable and important publication for all students and scientists working in the fields of astronomy and related sciences. As such it represents a necessary ingredient of any astronomical library all over the world." Space Science Reviews#1 "Dividing the whole field plus related subjects into 108 categories, each work is numbered and most are accompanied by brief abstracts. Fairly comprehensive cross-referencing links relevant papers to more than one category, and exhaustive author and subject indices are to be found at the back, making the catalogues easy to use. The series appears to be so complete in its coverage and always less than a year out of date that I shall certainly have to make a little more space on those shelves for future volumes." The Observatory Magazine#2

Book Evolution of Dwarf Galaxy Properties in Local Group Environments

Download or read book Evolution of Dwarf Galaxy Properties in Local Group Environments written by Kenza Sigrid Arraki and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding galaxy evolution depends on connecting large-scale structures determined by the [Lambda]CDM model with, at minimum, the small-scale physics of gas, star formation, and stellar feedback. Formation of galaxies within dark matter halos is sensitive to the physical phenomena occurring within and around the halo. This is especially true for dwarf galaxies, which have smaller potential wells and are more susceptible to the effects of tidal stripping and gas ionization and removal than larger galaxies. At dwarf galaxies scales comparisons of dark matter-only simulations with observations has unveiled various differences such as the core-cusp, the missing satellites, and the too big to fail problems. We have run suites of collisionless and hydrodynamical simulations of dwarf galaxies evolution in massive host environments to address these issues. We performed controlled, numerical simulations, which mimic the effects of baryons, in order to examine the assumptions implicitly made by dark matter-only simulations. The too big to fail problem is due to the overabundance of relatively massive, dense satellite galaxies found in simulations of Milky Way-like environments. We found that the removal of a small baryonic component from the central region of forming dwarf spheroidal galaxies and the inclusion of a disk component in the host galaxy can substantially reduce the central dark matter density of satellites, bringing simulations and observations of satellites into agreement. Additionally, we studied hydrodynamical simulations of massive host galaxies and their surrounding dwarf galaxy populations. The VELA simulation suite of cosmological zoom-in simulations is run with the ART code, stochastic star formation, and stellar feedback (supernovae feedback, stellar winds, radiation pressure, and photoionization pressure). The suite includes host galaxies with M[subscript vir](z = 0 ) = 1011 - 1012 M[sol] and their satellite dwarf galaxies and local isolated dwarf galaxies around each primary galaxy. We found that the inclusion of these relevant physical processes aligned the velocity functions and star formation histories of the dwarf galaxy populations closer to observations of the Local Group dwarf galaxies. By reproducing observations of dwarf galaxies we show how the inclusion of baryons in simulations relieves many of the discovered tensions between dark matter-only simulations and observations.

Book Dwarf Galaxies  Keys to Galaxy Formation and Evolution

Download or read book Dwarf Galaxies Keys to Galaxy Formation and Evolution written by Polychronis Papaderos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dwarf galaxy research constitutes an extremely vibrant field of astrophysical research, with many long-standing questions still unsettled and new ones constantly arising. The intriguing diversity of the dwarf galaxy population, observed with advanced ground-based and space-borne observatories over a wide spectral window providing an unprecedented level of detail, poses new challenges for both observers and theoreticians. The aim of this symposium was to bring together these two groups to exchange ideas and new results on the many evolutionary aspects of and open issues concerning dwarf galaxies. The main topics addressed include: the birth of dwarf galaxies: theoretical concepts and observable relics across wavelengths and time, the morphological, structural and chemical evolution of dwarf galaxies, possible evolutionary connections between early-type and late-type dwarfs, the star formation history of dwarf galaxies and its dependence on intrinsic and environmental properties, the origin and implications of starburst activity in dwarf galaxies, the fate of dwarfish systems born out of tidally ejected matter in galaxy collisions.

Book A Comprehensive Study of Star Formation in Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies

Download or read book A Comprehensive Study of Star Formation in Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies written by Ramya Sethuram and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an observational project on Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies (BCDG). The book gives an insight into the star formation and star formation history of BCDGs. The data of galaxies deals with optical photometry, medium resolution spectroscopy of nearly 11 galaxies. The data of 5 galaxies from this sample are studied in low frequency radio continuum bands and neutral hydrogen gas is also mapped in these systems. The book forms a guide to understand the broad band and narrow band photometric techniques. A detailed photometric and spectroscopic catalogue of 11 nearby BCDGs is composed. An account of mixed population model, created using Starburst99, that reveals at least three different kinds of population [ 10 Myr, 500 Myr and 4-5 Gyr] existing in these regions is given. A detailed calculation of the amount of metals present in the ionized gas using empirical relations is presented in the book. The intriguing inferences from low frequency radio data are discussed. This book overall forms a guide to observe, infer and understand SF & SFHs of BCDGs using integrated optical & radio light.

Book The Evolution of Galaxies

Download or read book The Evolution of Galaxies written by José M. Vilchez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-12-31 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galaxies have a history. This has become clear from recent sky surveys, which have shown that distant galaxies, formed early in the life of the Universe, differ from the nearby ones. New observational windows at ultraviolet, infrared and millimetric wavelengths (provided by ROSAT, IRAM, IUE, IRAS, ISO) have revealed that galaxies contain a wealth of components: very hot gas, atomic hydrogen, molecules, dust, dark matter. A significant advance is expected due to new instruments (VLT, FIRST, XMM) which will allow one to explore the most distant Universe. Three Euroconferences have been planned to punctuate this new epoch in galactic research, bringing together specialists in various fields of Astronomy. The first, held in Granada (Spain) in May 2000, addressed the observational clues. The second will take place in October 2001 in St Denis de la Réunion (France) and will review the basic building blocks and small-scale processes in galaxy evolution. The third will take place in July 2002 in Kiel (Germany) and will be devoted to the overall modelling of galaxy evolution. This book contains the proceedings of the first conference. It is recommended to researchers and PhD students in Astrophysics.

Researchers, students and even amateur astronomers will be able to use the Atlas to identify and study the various components of the nearly 30 important galaxies covered by the Atlas. The objects identified on the more than 200 charts include variable stars, globular star clusters, open star clusters, stellar associations, emission regions, supernova remnants, planetary nebulae and dust clouds. Each galaxy is accompanied by an extensive bibliography.

Book Dwarf Galaxies in Voids

Download or read book Dwarf Galaxies in Voids written by Crystal M. Moorman and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the first statistically-significant sample of dwarf galaxies in voids with matched optical (Sloan Digital Sky Survey), radio (Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey), and UV (GALEX) observations, which allows us to probe the impact of voids on the luminosity function, HI mass function, and star formation history of galaxies. Large-scale voids provide a unique environment for studying galaxy formation and evolution. Previous theoretical work predicts that galaxies residing in large-scale voids evolve as if they were in a universe with lower matter density, higher dark energy density, and larger Hubble constant. Environmental processes such as ram pressure stripping and galaxy-galaxy interactions should be less important for void galaxies than for galaxies in denser regions (wall galaxies). We measure the effects of environment on two fundamental tests of galaxy formation: the galaxy luminosity function (LF) and the HI mass function (HIMF). In both cases, we find a significant shift towards lower-mass, fainter galaxies in voids. However, we do not detect a dependence on environment of the low-mass/faint end slope of the HIMF and LF. We find that including low surface brightness dwarf galaxies from a blind HI survey steepens the r-band LF substantially, but not enough to reconcile the mismatch predicted low-mass slope of the dark matter halo mass function and the faint-end slope of the observed luminosity function. Utilizing optical, HI, and UV information of nearby galaxies, we determine that specific star formation rates of dwarf galaxies down to $M_r=-13$ are higher in voids than in walls. Furthermore, we downsample the ALFALFA wall galaxy distribution so that its stellar mass distribution matches the stellar mass distribution of void galaxies and determine the environmental dependence of star formation efficiency. We do not find strong evidence that star formation efficiency is dependent on large-scale environment, but this result is likely dependent on the requirements that all galaxies, regardless of environment, have high HI signal-to-noise flux and similar stellar mass distributions.
