Shear measurement bias due to spatially varying spectral energy distributions in galaxies

Posted by klaurent July 9, 2019Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia R. Burchat | First 5 Authors: Sowmya Kamath, Joshua E. Meyers, Patricia R. Burchat, , | Summary: Galaxy color gradients – i.e., spectral energy distributions that vary across the galaxy profile – will impact galaxy shape measurements when the modeled point spread function (PSF) corresponds to that for a galaxy with spatially […]

The structure of magnetic turbulence in the heliosheath region observed by Voyager 2 at 106 AU

Posted by klaurent June 18, 2019MIT

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Richardson | First 5 Authors: Federico Fraternale, Nikolai V Pogorelov, John D Richardson, Daniela Tordella, | Summary: It is currently believed that the turbulent fluctuations pervade the outermost heliosphere. Turbulence, magnetic reconnection, and their link may be responsible for magnetic energy conversion in these regions. The governing mechanisms of such anisotropic […]

Magnetic turbulence spectra and intermittency in the heliosheath and in the local interstellar medium

Posted by klaurent June 17, 2019MIT

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Richardson | First 5 Authors: Federico Fraternale, Nikolai V Pogorelov, John D Richardson, Daniela Tordella, | Summary: The understanding of inertial-scale dynamics in the heliosheath is not yet thorough. Magnetic field fluctuations across the inner heliosheath (IHS) and the local interstellar medium (LISM) are here considered to provide accurate and highly […]
