Three's a Crowd: On Causes, Entropy, and Physical Eschatology
Milan M. Cirkovic, Vesna Milosevic-Zdjelar
Recent discussions of the origins of the thermodynamical asymmetry ("the arrow of time") by Huw Price and others are critically assessed. This serves as a motivation for considerat…
QSO Absorption Lines, Gaseous Infall and Star Formation
Milan M. Cirkovic, Srdjan Samurovic, Vesna Milosevic-Zdjelar
We investigate the impact of recent observational advances in research on the gaseous content of the universe on our knowledge of star formation histories of disk galaxies. Several…
Microlensing, flattening, and : from assumptions, via data to tentative conclusions
Vesna Milosevic-Zdjelar, Srdjan Samurovic, Milan M. Cirkovic
Microlensing observations can be used for determining the shape of the Milky Way's halo. It can be shown that the data are best described with moderately flattened halo, 0.5 < q <…
Microlensing Results and Removing the Baryonic Degeneracy
Milan M. Cirkovic, Srdjan Samurovic, Vesna Milosevic-Zdjelar
One of the biggest obstacles to our full understanding of the global dynamics in Milky Way and other spiral galaxies is uncertainty with respect to the form of baryonic dark matter…
On the Ionizing Sources in Spiral Galaxies: II. the Center of the Milky Way
V. Milosevic-Zdjelar, S. Samurovic, M. M. Cirkovic
In this paper we present the ionization in the center of the Galaxy. We use Taylor & Cordes (1993) and Lazio & Cordes (1998) models to obtain the overall contribution of the Galact…
On the Ionizing Sources in Spiral Galaxies: I. From Central Regions to Thick Disk and Disk-Halo Connection
S. Samurovic, M. M. Cirkovic, V. Milosevic-Zdjelar +1
We study the ionizing sources in spiral galaxies and examine in more detail our Galaxy. Using Taylor & Cordes (1993) model we analyze the electron density in different parts of the…
