Numerical Simulations of Galaxy Formation: Cooling, Heating, Star Formation

Anatoly Klypin, Stefan Gottlober, Gustavo Yepes

Formation of luminous matter in the Universe is a complicated process, which includes many processes and components. It is the vastly different scales involved in the process (from…

Particle-Mesh code for cosmological simulations

Anatoly Klypin, Jon Holtzman

Particle-Mesh (PM) codes are still very useful tools for testing predictions of cosmological models in cases when extra high resolution is not very important. We release for public…

An Unusual Radio Galaxy in Abell 428: A Large, Powerful FR I Source in a Disk-Dominated Host

Michael J. Ledlow, Frazer N. Owen, William C. Keel

We report the discovery of a powerful (~10^{24} Watts/Hz) FR I radio source in a highly flattened disk-dominated galaxy. Half of the radio flux from this source is concentrated wit…

Near Infrared Spectroscopy of G29.96-0.02: The First Spectral Classification of the Ionizing Star of an Ultracompact HII Region

Alan M. Watson, Margaret M. Hanson

We have obtained the first classification spectrum and present the first direct spectral classification of the ionizing star of an ultracompact HII region. The ultracompact HII reg…

Constraining cosmological models with cluster power spectra

J. Retzlaff, S. Borgani, S. Gottloeber +2

Using extensive N-body simulations we estimate redshift space power spectra of clusters of galaxies for different cosmological models (SCDM, TCDM, CHDM, Lambda-CDM, OCDM, BSI, tau-…

The Far Field Hubble Constant

Tod R. Lauer, John L. Tonry, Marc Postman +2

We used HST to obtain surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) observations of four nearby brightest cluster galaxies (BCG) to calibrate the BCG Hubble diagram of Lauer & Postman (1992…

The Cluster of Galaxies Surrounding Cygnus A

Frazer N. Owen, Michael J. Ledlow, Glenn E. Morrison +1

We report optical imaging and spectroscopy of 41 galaxies in a 22 arcmin square region surrounding Cygnus A. The results show that there is an extensive rich cluster associated wit…

Galaxies in N-body simulations: overcoming the overmerging problem

Anatoly Klypin, Stefan Gottloeber, Andrey Kravtsov +1

We present analysis of the evolution of dark matter halos in dense environments of groups and clusters in dissipationless cosmological simulations. The premature destruction of hal…

The Cores of Dark Matter Dominated Galaxies: theory vs. observations

Andrey V. Kravtsov, Anatoly A. Klypin, James S. Bullock +1

We use the rotation curves of a sample of dark matter dominated dwarf and low-surface brightness (LSB) late-type galaxies to study their radial mass distributions. We find that the…

The Massive Stellar Population in the Diffuse Ionized Gas of M33

Charles G. Hoopes, Rene A. M. Walterbos

We compare Far-UV, H-alpha, and optical broadband images of the nearby spiral galaxy M33, to investigate the massive stars associated with the diffuse ionized gas. The H-alpha/FUV…

The Warm Ionized Medium in Spiral Galaxies: A View from Above

Rene A. M. Walterbos

The Warm Ionized Medium (WIM), also referred to as Diffuse Ionized Gas, contains most of the mass of interstellar medium in ionized form, contributing as much as 30% of the total a…
