Frank C. van den Bosch, Fangzhou Jiang, , , | Summary: [[{“value”:”We compare subhalo mass and velocity functions obtained from different simulations with different subhalo finders among each other, and with predictions from the new semi-analytical model of Jiang & van den Bosch (2014). We find that subhalo mass functions (SHMFs) obtained using different subhalo […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jinyi Shangguan | First 5 Authors: Jinyi Shangguan, Huirong Yan, , , | Summary: We demonstrate a new way of studying interplanetary magnetic field — Ground State Alignment (GSA). Instead of sending thousands of space probes, GSA allows magnetic mapping with any ground telescope facilities equipped with spectropolarimeter. The polarization of spectral lines […]
Fangzhou Jiang, Song Huang, Qiusheng Gu, , | Summary: [[{“value”:”We make use of the images from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 to present an analysis of r band surface brightness profiles and radial color gradients (g – r, u – r) in 111 nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs). With Stripe 82 images, we are […]
