Investigating the Origins of Spiral Structure in Disk Galaxies through a Multiwavelength Study
Ryan Miller, Daniel Kennefick, Julia Kennefick +5
The density-wave theory of spiral structure proposes that star formation occurs in or near a spiral-shaped region of higher density that rotates rigidly within the galactic disk at…
X-ray Binary Luminosity Function Scaling Relations for Local Galaxies Based on Subgalactic Modeling
Bret D. Lehmer, Rafael T. Eufrasio, Panayiotis Tzanavaris +7
We present new Chandra constraints on the X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) of X-ray binary (XRB) populations, and their scaling relations, for a sample of 38 nearby galaxies (D =…
A nonextensive insight to the stellar initial mass function
D. B. de Freitas, R. T. Eufrasio, M. M. F. Nepomuceno +1
the present paper, we propose that the stellar initial mass distributions as known as IMF are best fitted by -Weibulls that emerge within nonextensive statistical mechanics. As…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite
Richard F. Mushotzky, James Aird, Amy J. Barger +41
Much of the baryonic matter in the Universe, including the most active and luminous sources, are best studied in the X-ray band. Key advances in X-ray optics and detectors have pav…
