Shapes of Alignments
We present a general approach for representing, composing, and computing alignments, based on the category theoretic notions of diagram, pushout, and colimit. This generalises the possible ‘shapes’ of alignments that have been introduced previously in similar approaches. We use the theory of institutions to represent heterogeneous ontologies, and show how the tool Hets can be employed to comput...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for the Detection of Inter-cluster Galaxy Filaments using Galaxy Orientation Alignments
We present a new algorithm to detect inter-cluster galaxy filaments based upon the assumption that the orientations of constituent galaxies along such filaments are nonisotropic. We apply the algorithm to the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey catalogue and find that it readily detects many straight filaments between close cluster pairs. At large inter-cluster separations (>> 15h Mpc), we find that the...
متن کاملDark Halos and Galaxy Evolution
We study the evolution of disk galaxies within the frame of the cold dark matter (CDM) cosmologies. The hydrodynamics of a centrifugally supported gaseous disk and the growth of a stellar disk is calculated in detail taking into account the energy balance of the ISM and the gravitational instabilities that concern gas and stars. The halo density profile is derived from the primordial cosmologic...
متن کاملIntrinsic galaxy shapes and alignments II: Modelling the intrinsic alignment contamination of weak lensing surveys
Intrinsic galaxy alignments constitute the major astrophysical systematic of forthcoming weak gravitational lensing surveys but also yield unique insights into galaxy formation and evolution. We build analytic models for the distribution of galaxy shapes based on halo properties extracted from the Millennium Simulation, differentiating between earlyand late-type galaxies as well as central gala...
متن کاملM ar 1 99 6 Brightest Cluster Galaxy Profile Shapes
We model the surface brightness profiles of a sample of 119 Abell Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCG), finding a generalised deVaucouleurs R law, where n is a free parameter, to be appropriate. Departures from the R law are shown to be a real feature of galaxy profiles, not due to observational errors or coupling of n with the other model parameters. BCG typically have values of n greater than 4. ...
