Atmospheric Habitable Zones in Cool Y Dwarf Atmospheres

Jack S. Yates, Paul I. Palmer, Beth Biller +1

We use a simple organism lifecycle model to explore the viability of an atmospheric habitable zone (AHZ), with temperatures that could support Earth-centric life, which sits above…

Globular Clusters As Tracers of Fine Structure in the Dramatic Shell Galaxy NGC 474

Sungsoon Lim, Eric W. Peng, Pierre-Alain Duc +7

Globular clusters (GCs) are some of the most visible tracers of the merging and accretion history of galaxy halos. Metal-poor GCs, in particular, are thought to arrive in massive g…

Peanut-shaped metallicity distributions in bulges of edge-on galaxies: the case of NGC 4710

Oscar A. Gonzalez, Victor P. Debattista, Melissa Ness +2

Bulges of edge-on galaxies are often boxy/peanut-shaped (B/PS), and unsharp masks reveal the presence of an X shape. Simulations show that these shapes can be produced by dynamical…

Shadows and spirals in the protoplanetary disk HD 100453

M. Benisty, T. Stolker, A. Pohl +46

Understanding the diversity of planets requires to study the morphology and the physical conditions in the protoplanetary disks in which they form. We observed and spatially resolv…
