The nature of red dwarf galaxies

Yu Wang, Xiaohu Yang, H. J. Mo +5

Using dark matter halos traced by galaxy groups selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4, we find that about 1/4 of the faint galaxies ($\rmag >-17.05$, hereafter…

The Gravitational Shear--Intrinsic Ellipticity Correlation Functions of Luminous Red Galaxies in Observation and in the CDM Model

Teppei Okumura, Y. P. Jing

We examine whether the gravitational shear--intrinsic ellipticity (GI) correlation function of the luminous red galaxies (LRGs) can be modeled with the distribution function of a m…

An accretion disc-corona model for X-ray spectra of active galactic nuclei

Xinwu Cao

The hard X-ray emission of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is believed to originate from the hot coronae above the cold accretion discs. The hard X-ray spectral index is found to be c…

A Magnetohydrodynamic Model for the Formation of Episodic Jets

Feng Yuan, Jun Lin, Kinwah Wu +1

Episodic ejection of plasma blobs have been observed in many black hole systems. While steady, continuous jets are believed to be associated with large-scale open magnetic fields,…

Self-Similar Solution of Hot Accretion Flows with Ordered Magnetic Field and Outflow

De-Fu Bu, Feng Yuan, Fu-Guo Xie

Observations and numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations indicate the existence of outflows and ordered large-scale magnetic fields in the inner region of hot accretion flo…

Alignments of Group Galaxies with Neighboring Groups

Yougang Wang, Changbom Park, Xiaohu Yang +2

Using a sample of galaxy groups found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4, we measure the following four types of alignment signals: (1) the alignment between the distri…

The Correlation of Star Formation Quenching with Internal Galaxy Properties and Environment

Taysun Kimm, Rachel S. Somerville, Sukyoung K. Yi +8

We investigate the correlation of star formation quenching with internal galaxy properties and large scale environment (halo mass) in empirical data and theoretical models. We make…
