Color Differences between Clockwise and Counterclockwise Spiral Galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
While spiral galaxies observed from Earth clearly seem to spin in different directions, little is yet known about other differences between galaxies that spin clockwise and galaxies that spin counterclockwise. Here we compared the color of 64,399 spiral galaxies that spin clockwise to 63,215 spiral galaxies that spin counterclockwise. The results show that clockwise galaxies tend to be bluer than galaxies that spin counterclockwise. The probability that the color differences can be attributed to chance is ~0.019. g-r, r-i and i-z did not show significant differences between clockwise and counterclockwise galaxies.

Clockwise and Counterclockwise Spirality in the Phyllotaxy of Tobacco >
Only two species of tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum L. and N. rustica L., have found an important place in cultivation for chewing or smoking purposes. N, rustica is now of little importance in agriculture, having been supplanted by AT', tabacum except in parts of Poland, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Asia Minor, and India. In both of these species the fundamental arrangement of the leaves al...
متن کاملPulsar Rotation Measures and the Large-scale Structure of Galactic Magnetic Field
The large-scale magnetic field of our Galaxy can be probed in three dimensions using Faraday rotation of pulsar signals. We report on the determination of 223 rotation measures from polarization observations of relatively distant southern pulsars made using the Parkes radio telescope. Combined with previously published observations these data give clear evidence for large-scale counterclockwise...
متن کاملNew electrocardiographic criteria for the differentiation between counterclockwise and clockwise atrial flutter: correlation with electrophysiological study and radiofrequency catheter ablation.
OBJECTIVE To develop new electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for the differentiation between counterclockwise and clockwise atrial flutters. BACKGROUND Traditionally, the ECG differentiation between counterclockwise and clockwise atrial flutters is based on the flutter wave polarity in the inferior leads. However, determination of flutter wave polarity is subjective and sometimes difficult, e...
متن کاملCoding and binding of color and form in visual cortex.
The processing of color and form is largely segregated within the visual brain. But there is also evidence to suggest that these features are coded in combination early in visual processing. Here, we combined high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) together with multivariate pattern classification to examine where in the visual cortex specific color form "conjunctions" are ...
متن کاملSpatial symmetry breaking determines spiral wave chirality.
Chirality represents a fundamental property of spiral waves. Introducing obstacles into cardiac monolayers leads to the initiation of clockwise-rotating, counterclockwise-rotating, and pairs of spiral waves. Simulations show that the precise location of the obstacle and the pacing frequency determine spiral wave chirality. Instabilities predicted by curves relating the action potential duration...
