On the Survival and Abundance of Disk-dominated Galaxies
We study the formation of disk-dominated galaxies in a ΛCDM universe. Their existence is considered to be a challenge for the ΛCDM cosmology, because galaxy mergers isotropize stellar disks and trigger angular momentum transport in gas disks, thus fostering the formation of central stellar spheroids. Here, we postulate that the formation of stellar spheroids from gas-rich disks is controlled by...
متن کاملMolecular tracers of PDR-dominated galaxies
Photon-dominated regions (PDRs) are powerful molecular line emitters in external galaxies. They are expected in galaxies with high rates of massive star formation due to either starburst (SB) events or starburst coupled with active galactic nuclei (AGN) events. We have explored the PDR chemistry for a range of physical conditions representing a variety of galaxy types. Our main result is a demo...
متن کاملRXTE observations of Seyfert-2 galaxies: evidence for spectral variability
We present a series of RXTE observations of the nearby obscured Seyfert galaxies ESO103-G35, IC5063, NGC4507 and NGC7172. The period of monitoring ranges from seven days for NGC7172 up to about seven months for ESO103-G035. The spectra of all galaxies are well fit with a highly obscured (NH > 10 23 cm) power-law and an Fe line at 6.4 keV. We find strong evidence for the presence of a reflection...
متن کاملUrban transitions: on urban resilience and human-dominated ecosystems.
Urbanization is a global multidimensional process paired with increasing uncertainty due to climate change, migration of people, and changes in the capacity to sustain ecosystem services. This article lays a foundation for discussing transitions in urban governance, which enable cities to navigate change, build capacity to withstand shocks, and use experimentation and innovation in face of unce...
متن کاملSpectral Models of Convection-Dominated Accretion Flows
For small values of the dimensionless viscosity parameter, namely α ∼< 0.1, the dynamics of non-radiating accretion flows is dominated by convection; convection strongly suppresses the accretion of matter onto the central object and transports a luminosity ∼ 10 − 10Ṁc from small to large radii in the flow. A fraction of this convective luminosity is likely to be radiated at large radii via ther...
