TL;DR: ‘stream-fed galaxies’ are reported, formed from steady, narrow, cold gas streams that penetrate the shock-heated media of massive dark matter haloes and keep the rotating disk configuration intact, although turbulent and broken into giant star-forming clumps that merge into a central spheroid.
Abstract: Massive galaxies in the young Universe, ten billion years ago, formed stars at surprising intensities. Although this is commonly attributed to violent mergers, the properties of many of these galaxies are incompatible with such events, showing gas-rich, clumpy, extended rotating disks not dominated by spheroids Cosmological simulations and clustering theory are used to explore how these galaxies acquired their gas. Here we report that they are 'stream-fed galaxies', formed from steady, narrow, cold gas streams that penetrate the shock-heated media of massive dark matter haloes8, 9. A comparison with the observed abundance of star-forming galaxies implies that most of the input gas must rapidly convert to stars. One-third of the stream mass is in gas clumps leading to mergers of mass ratio greater than 1:10, and the rest is in smoother flows. With a merger duty cycle of 0.1, three-quarters of the galaxies forming stars at a given rate are fed by smooth streams. The rarer, submillimetre galaxies that form stars even more intensely2, 12, 13 are largely merger-induced starbursts. Unlike destructive mergers, the streams are likely to keep the rotating disk configuration intact, although turbulent and broken into giant star-forming clumps that merge into a central spheroid4, 10, 11. This stream-driven scenario for the formation of discs and spheroids is an alternative to the merger picture

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the relationship between the local environment of galaxies and their star formation rate (SFR) in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey, GOODS, at z∼1.
Abstract: Aims We study the relationship between the local environment of galaxies and their star formation rate (SFR) in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey, GOODS, at z∼1 Methods We use ultradeep imaging at 24� m with the MIPS camera onboard Spitzer to determine the contribution of obscured light to the SFR of galaxies over the redshift range 08≤ z ≤12 Accurate galaxy densities are measured thanks to the large sample of ∼1200 spectroscopic redshifts with high (∼70 %) spectroscopic completeness Morphology and stellar masses are derived from deep HST-ACS imaging, supplemented by ground based imaging programs and photometry from the IRAC camera onboard Spitzer Results We show that the star formation‐density relation observed locally was reversed at z∼ 1: the average SFR of an individual galaxy increased with local galaxy density when the universe was less than half its present age Hierarchical galaxy for mation models (simulated lightcones from the Millennium model) predicted such a reversal to occur only at earlier epochs (z>2) and at a lower level We present a remarkable structure at z∼ 1016, containing X-ray traced galaxy concentrations, which will eventually merge into a Virgo-like cluster This structure illustrates how the ind ividual SFR of galaxies increases with density and shows that it is the∼1‐2 Mpc scale that affects most the star formation in galaxies at z∼ 1 The SFR of z∼ 1 galaxies is found to correlate with stellar mass suggesting that mass plays a role in the observed star formation‐density trend However the specific SFR ( =SFR/M⋆) decreases with stellar mass while it increases with galaxy density, which i mplies that the environment does directly affect the star formation activity of galaxies Major mergers do not appear to be the unique or even major cause for this effect since nearly half (46 %) of the luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) at z∼ 1 present the HST-ACS morphology of spirals, while only a third present a clear signature of major mergers The remaining galaxies are divided into compact (9 %) and irregular (14 %) galaxies Moreover, the specific SFR o f major mergers is only marginally stronger than that of spirals Conclusions These findings constrain the influence of the growth of large- scale structures on the star formation history of galaxies Reproducing the SFR‐density relation at z∼ 1 is a new challenge for models, requiring a correct balance between mass assembly through mergers and in-situ star formation at early epochs

TL;DR: A measurement of the Higgs boson mass is presented based on the combined data samples of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN LHC in the H→γγ and H→ZZ→4ℓ decay channels.
Abstract: A measurement of the Higgs boson mass is presented based on the combined data samples of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN LHC in the H→γγ and H→ZZ→4l decay channels. The results are obtained from a simultaneous fit to the reconstructed invariant mass peaks in the two channels and for the two experiments. The measured masses from the individual channels and the two experiments are found to be consistent among themselves. The combined measured mass of the Higgs boson is mH=125.09±0.21 (stat)±0.11 (syst) GeV.

TL;DR: A new compilation of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), a new data set of low-redshift nearby-Hubble-flow SNe, and new analysis procedures to work with these heterogeneous compilations is presented in this article.
Abstract: We present a new compilation of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), a new data set of low-redshift nearby-Hubble-flow SNe, and new analysis procedures to work with these heterogeneous compilations This "Union" compilation of 414 SNe Ia, which reduces to 307 SNe after selection cuts, includes the recent large samples of SNe Ia from the Supernova Legacy Survey and ESSENCE Survey, the older data sets, as well as the recently extended data set of distant supernovae observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) A single, consistent, and blind analysis procedure is used for all the various SN Ia subsamples, and a new procedure is implemented that consistently weights the heterogeneous data sets and rejects outliers We present the latest results from this Union compilation and discuss the cosmological constraints from this new compilation and its combination with other cosmological measurements (CMB and BAO) The constraint we obtain from supernovae on the dark energy density is ΩΛ = 0713+ 0027−0029(stat)+ 0036−0039(sys) , for a flat, ΛCDM universe Assuming a constant equation of state parameter, w, the combined constraints from SNe, BAO, and CMB give w = − 0969+ 0059−0063(stat)+ 0063−0066(sys) While our results are consistent with a cosmological constant, we obtain only relatively weak constraints on a w that varies with redshift In particular, the current SN data do not yet significantly constrain w at z > 1 With the addition of our new nearby Hubble-flow SNe Ia, these resulting cosmological constraints are currently the tightest available

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results from a new deep ice core drilled at the summit of the Greenland ice sheet, where the depositional environ-ment and the flow pattern of the ice are close to ideal for core recovery and analysis.
Abstract: THE Greenland ice sheet offers the most favourable conditions in the Northern Hemisphere for obtaining high-resolution continuous time series of climate-related parameters. Profiles of 18O/<16O ratio along three previous deep Greenland ice cores1–3 seemed to reveal irregular but well-defined episodes of relatively mild climate conditions (interstadials) during the mid and late parts of the last glaciation, but there has been some doubt as to whether the shifts in oxygen isotope ratio were genuine representations of changes in climate, rather than artefacts due to disturbed stratification. Here we present results from a new deep ice core drilled at the summit of the Greenland ice sheet, where the depositional environ-ment and the flow pattern of the ice are close to ideal for core recovery and analysis. The results reproduce the previous findings to such a degree that the existence of the interstadial episodes can no longer be in doubt. According to a preliminary timescale based on stratigraphic studies, the interstadials lasted from 500 to 2,000 years, and their irregular occurrence suggests complexity in the behaviour of the North Atlantic ocean circulation.
