A Generative Model for Realistic Galaxy Cluster X-ray Morphologies

Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Maya Benyas, Jordan Pfeifer, Adam B. Mantz, Steven W. Allen, Elise Darragh-Ford | Summary: The X-ray morphologies of clusters of galaxies display significant variations, reflecting their dynamical histories and the nonlinear dependence of X-ray emissivity on the density of the intracluster gas. Qualitative and quantitative assessments […]

Experimental Measurement of Assembly Indices are Required to Determine The Threshold for Life

Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | First 5 Authors: Sara I. Walker, Cole Mathis, Stuart Marshall, Leroy Cronin, | Summary: Assembly Theory (AT) was developed to help distinguish living from non-living systems. The theory is simple as it posits that the amount of selection or Assembly is a function of the number of complex objects where […]
