Constraining the IMF using TeV gamma ray absorption

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how gamma ray absorption may be used as an indirect probe of the stellar initial mass function (IMF), although there is a degeneracy with dust modeling.

Cold + Hot Dark Matter After Super-Kamiokande

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the possible improvement of the low-$Omega_m$ flat (LCDM) cosmological models with the addition of light neutrinos appears to be rather limited.
Journal ArticleDOI

CANDELS Meets GSWLC: Evolution of the Relationship Between Morphology and Star Formation Since z = 2.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between morphology and star formation has been studied by using consistent SED fitting with flexible dust attenuation laws, and it was shown that the clumpy disk contribution to the star formation budget peaks at z ~ 1, rather than z ~ 2, suggesting that the principal epoch of disk assembly continues to lower redshift.
Journal ArticleDOI

Public-Interest Science-- An Overview.

TL;DR: The idea that the public, as well as the government and industry should have scientific advisors is an old one as discussed by the authors, yet it was not until the 1960's that a renewed public understanding of the insensitivity of governmental and industrial bureaucracies led to a substantial commitment in the legal profession to public-interest law.
