A cosmic abundance standard: chemical homogeneity of the solar neighbourhood and the ISM dust-phase composition

Norbert Przybilla, Maria-Fernanda Nieva, Keith Butler

A representative sample of unevolved early B-type stars in nearby OB associations and the field is analysed to unprecedented precision using NLTE techniques. The resulting chemical…

Termination of star formation by BH feedback in equal- and unequal-mass mergers of disk and elliptical galaxies

Peter H. Johansson, Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert

We present binary galaxy merger simulations of gas-rich disks (Sp-Sp), of early-type galaxies and disks (E-Sp, mixed mergers), and mergers of early-type galaxies (E-E, dry mergers)…

From primordial He abundance to the Higgs field

Josef M. Gaßner, Harald Lesch, Hartmuth Arenhövel

We constrain the possible time variation of the Higgs vacuum expectation value () by recent results on the primordial He abundance (). For that, we improve the analytic…

The M31 microlensing event WeCAPP-GL1/Point-AGAPE-S3: evidence for a MACHO component in the dark halo of M31?

A. Riffeser, S. Seitz, R. Bender

We re-analyze the M31 microlensing event WeCAPP-GL1/Point-AGAPE-S3 taking into account that stars are not point-like but extended. We show that the finite size of stars can dramati…

Equal- and unequal-mass mergers of disk and elliptical galaxies with black holes

Peter H. Johansson, Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert

We present binary galaxy merger simulations with varying mass ratios and different progenitor morphologies. The simulations include mergers of gas-rich disks (Sp-Sp), of early-type…
