The 1.6 micron near infrared nuclei of 3C radio galaxies: Jets, thermal emission or scattered light?
R. D. Baldi, M. Chiaberge, A. Capetti +6
Using HST NICMOS 2 observations we have measured 1.6-micron near infrared nuclear luminosities of 100 3CR radio galaxies with z<0.3, by modeling and subtracting the extended emissi…
Structure in phase space associated with spiral and bar density waves in an N-body galactic disk
Alice C. Quillen, Jamie Dougherty, Micaela B. Bagley +2
An N-body hybrid simulation, integrating both massive and tracer particles, of a Galactic disk is used to study the stellar phase space distribution or velocity distributions in di…
QYMSYM: A GPU-Accelerated Hybrid Symplectic Integrator That Permits Close Encounters
Alexander Moore, Alice C. Quillen
We describe a parallel hybrid symplectic integrator for planetary system integration that runs on a graphics processing unit (GPU). The integrator identifies close approaches betwe…
Jeans Instability in a Tidally Disrupted Halo Satellite Galaxy
Justin Comparetta, Alice C. Quillen
We use a hybrid test particle/N-body simulation to integrate 4 million massless test particle trajectories within a fully self-consistent 10^5 particle N-body simulation. The numbe…
Jeans Instability of Palomar 5's Tidal Tail
Alice C. Quillen, Justin Comparetta
Tidal tails composed of stars should be unstable to the Jeans instability and this can cause them to look like beads on a string. The Jeans wavelength and tail diameter determine t…
