Helping the Public Decide: The Case of Radioactive Waste Management
Nancy E. Abrams,Joel R. Primack +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a tentative plan for discussion at government-funded forums to which expert comment and analysis can be contributed by interested members of the public, and a set of criteria is set out which must satisfy the public before nuclear waste management will be accepted.

LCDM Correctly Predicts Basic Statistics of Galaxies: Luminosity-Velocity Relation, Baryonic Mass-Velocity Relation, and Velocity Function
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use an abundance-matching technique to assign rank-ordered galaxy luminosities to the dark matter halos, a procedure which automatically fits the empirical luminosity function and provides a predicted luminosity-velocity relation that can be checked against observations.

Prospects of GRB observations for CTA from a phenomenological model
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect critical design parameters of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) on their predictions and compared the performance of various observing strategies for the array pointing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Core formation in high-z massive haloes: heating by post-compaction satellites and response to AGN outflows
Avishai Dekel,Avishai Dekel,Jonathan Freundlich,Jonathan Freundlich,Fangzhou Jiang,Fangzhou Jiang,Fangzhou Jiang,Sharon Lapiner,Andreas Burkert,Daniel Ceverino,Xiaolong Du,Reinhard Genzel,Joel R. Primack +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors address a hybrid scenario where post-compaction merging satellites heat up the dark-matter cusps by dynamical friction, allowing AGN-driven outflows to generate cores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling Galaxy-Mass Correlations in Dissipationless Simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high-resolution dissipationless simulations of the concordance flat LCDM model to make predictions for the galaxy-mass correlations and compare them to the recent SDSS weak lensing measurements.
