Ray Optics for Gliders

Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. K. Rothemund | Summary:Control of self-propelled particles is central to the development of many microrobotic technologies, from dynamically reconfigurable materials to advanced lab-on-a-chip systems. However, there are few physical principles by which particle trajectories can be specified and can be used to generate a wide range of behaviors. Within the field […]

Approximating Density Probability Distribution Functions Across Cosmologies

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Huanqing Chen, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, Philip Mansfield, , | Summary: Using a suite of self-similar cosmological simulations, we measure the probability distribution functions (PDFs) of real-space density, redshift-space density, and their geometric mean. We find that the real-space density PDF is well-described by a function of […]

The stellar mass versus stellar metallicity relation of star-forming galaxies at $1.6le zle3.0$ and implications for the evolution of the $α$-enhancement

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Daichi Kashino, Simon J. Lilly, Alvio Renzini, Emanuele Daddi, Giovanni Zamorani | Summary: We measure the relationship between stellar mass and stellar metallicity, the stellar mass–metallicity relation (MZR), for 1336 star-forming galaxies at $1.6le zle3.0$ (<z>=2.2) using rest-frame far-ultraviolet spectra from the zCOSMOS-deep survey. High signal-to-noise […]
