Mass Distribution in Our Galaxy
This article summarizes recent work on the luminosity and mass distribution of the Galactic bulge and disk, and on the mass of the Milky Way’s dark halo. A new luminosity model consistent with the COBE NIR data and the apparent magnitude distributions of bulge clump giant stars has bulge/bar length of ' 3.5 kpc, axis ratios of 1:(0.3-0.4):0.3, and short disk scale-length (' 2.1 kpc). Gas-dynami...
متن کاملLow-Mass Cluster Galaxies: A Cornerstone of Galaxy Evolution
Low-mass cluster galaxies are the most common galaxy type in the universe and are at a cornerstone of our understanding of galaxy formation, cluster luminosity functions, dark matter and the formation of large scale structure. I describe in this summary recent observational results concerning the properties and likely origins of low-mass galaxies in clusters and the implications of these findin...
متن کاملLow Metallicity Stars in Our Galaxy
The advent of 8 m class telescopes has allowed the detailed spectroscopic study of sizeable numbers of extremely metal-poor Galactic stars which are the witnesses of the formation of the early Galaxy. Their chemical composition displays some distinctive trends which should provide a strong constraint on the physical nature of the first generation(s) of stars and on their nucleosynthetic output....
متن کاملChronic Granulomatous Disease; fundamental stages in our understanding of CGD
It has been 50 years since chronic granulomatous disease was first reported as a disease which fatally affected the ability of children to survive infections. Various milestone discoveries from the insufficient ability of patients' leucocytes to destroy microbial particles to the underlying genetic predispositions through which the disease is inherited have had important consequences. Longterm ...
متن کاملFundamental understanding of goaf gas displacement in longwall goaf
Fundamental understanding of the goaf gas distribution in a gassy coal mine is necessary for developing effective goaf gas drainage strategies in the longwall coal mine. The goaf gas was subjected to the surface and body forces that were classified depending upon whether they acted on the surface area or the volume of the gas element. Of these forces, the body forces were more predominant in di...
