Algorithmic probability has shown some promise in dealing with the probability problem in the Everett interpretation, since it provides an objective, single-case probability measur…
The meaning of WISE colours - I. The Galaxy and its satellites
Robert Nikutta, Nicholas Hunt-Walker, Maia Nenkova +2
Through matches with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) catalogue we identify the location of various families of astronomical objects in WISE colour space. We identify reliable i…
AGN torus properties with WISE
Robert Nikutta, Maia Nenkova, Zeljko Ivezic +2
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has scanned the entire sky with unprecedented sensitivity in four infrared bands, at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 micron. The WISE Point Sour…
AGN Dusty Tori: II. Observational Implications of Clumpiness
Maia Nenkova, Matthew M. Sirocky, Robert Nikutta +2
From extensive radiative transfer calculations we find that clumpy torus models with \No \about 5--15 dusty clouds along radial equatorial rays successfully explain AGN infrared ob…
AGN Dusty Tori: I. Handling of Clumpy Media
Maia Nenkova, Matthew M. Sirocky, Zeljko Ivezic +1
According to unified schemes of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), the central engine is surrounded by dusty, optically thick clouds in a toroidal structure. We have recently developed…
