Constraints on the distribution of supernova remnants with Galactocentric radius
Supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Galaxy are an important source of energy injection into the interstellar medium, and also of cosmic rays. Currently there are 294 known SNRs in the Galaxy, and their distribution with Galactocentric radius is of interest for various studies. Here I discuss some of the statistics of Galactic SNRs, including the observational selection effects that apply, and diff...
متن کاملThe shape of galaxy disks : how the scale height increases with galactocentric distance ⋆
Letter to the Editor The shape of galaxy disks: how the scale height increases with galactocentric distance Abstract. We present the results of a detailed study of vertical surface brightness profiles of edge-on disk galaxies. Although the exponential disk scale height is constant to first order approximation, we show that for the large majority of galaxies in our sample, the scale height incre...
متن کاملWhy the Cosmological Constant Problem is Hard
We consider a recent proposal to solve the cosmological constant problem within the context of brane world scenarios with infinite volume extra dimensions. In such theories bulk can be supersymmetric even if brane supersymmetry is completely broken. The bulk cosmological constant can therefore naturally be zero. Since the volume of the extra dimensions is infinite, it might appear that at large...
متن کاملWhy Hi-Lite Ada?
Use of formal methods in verification activities for critical software development is a promising solution to increase the level of confidence compared to the current practice based on testing, for increasingly complex programs, at a lower cost than the current approach. Concretely, the upcoming standard DO-178C for software development in avionics gives credit to formal verification for suppor...
متن کاملThe Vertical Distribution and Kinematics of HI and Mass Models of the Galactic Disk
We present full modelling of tangent point emission of HI as seen in the 21cm transition in the inner Galaxy. We measure the scale height and velocity dispersion of HI as a function of Galactic radius besides the rotation curve and the z-centroid of the atomic layer. The model used takes into account emission from a large path length along the line of sight, corresponding to an interval ( R) of...
