Journal ArticleDOI
The star-forming main sequence and the contribution of dust-obscured star formation since $z\sim4$ from the FUV+IR luminosity functions
Aldo Rodríguez-Puebla,Vladimir Avila-Reese,M. Cano-Díaz,S. M. Faber,Joel R. Primack,José Franco,Itziar Aretxaga,Eder Santiago-Mayoral +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical approach is proposed to study the evolution of the star-forming galaxy (SFG) main sequence (MS) and the fraction of dust-obscured SF up to 4.
Journal ArticleDOI
The star formation rate-radius connection : data and implications for wind strength and halo concentration
Lin Lin,S. M. Faber,David C. Koo,Samir Salim,Aaron A. Dutton,Jerome J. Fang,Fangzhou Jiang,Christoph T. Lee,Aldo Rodríguez-Puebla,A. van der Wel,Yicheng Guo,Guillermo Barro,Joel R. Primack,Avishai Dekel,Zhu Chen,Yifei Luo,Viraj Pandya,Rachel S. Somerville,Henry C. Ferguson,Susan A. Kassin,Anton M. Koekemoer,Norman A. Grogin,Audrey Galametz,P. Santini,Hooshang Nayyeri,Mauro Stefanon,Tomas Dahlen,Bahram Mobasher,Lei Hao +28 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between star formation rate (SFR) and galaxy radius (R-e) for main-sequence star-forming galaxies and found that there is little correlation between SFR and R-e at fixed stellar mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accelerating dust temperature calculations with graphics-processing units
Patrik Jonsson,Joel R. Primack +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an implementation of the calculation of dust grain equilibrium temperatures on GPUs in the Monte-Carlo radiation transfer code sunrise, using the CUDA API.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pelted by paint, downed by debris
TL;DR: In the Star Wars movies and in hundreds of other popular science fiction films, we see things blow up in space and the fragments quickly dissipate, leaving empty space behind as discussed by the authors. But in reality, space does not clear after an explosion near our planet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of space reactors by their gamma‐ray and positron emissions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the gamma-ray flux from nuclear reactors on spacecraft, using the design parameters for the US SP-100 space reactor as an example, and show that the gamma flux from an SP100 could be detected at thousands of kilometers with COMPTEL, and demonstrate that COMPTel would typically detect a reactor in low earth orbit several times per day.
