The origin of the quenching in galaxies is still highly debated. Different scenarios and processes are proposed. We use multi-band (400-1600 nm) bulge-disc decompositions massive redshift range 0<z<2 to explore distribution evolution log SFR-logM* plane as a function stellar mass-weighted bulge-to-total ratio (BTM) also for internal galaxy components (bulge/disc) separately. find evidence clear...

We suggest that the bulge-to-disc ratios of spiral galaxies are primarily determined by the angular momenta of their host haloes predicted in current hierarchical clustering models for structure formation. Gas with low specific angular momentum becomes self-gravitating and presumably forms stars before it can settle into a rotationally supported disc. We assume this part of the gas in a dark ha...

We spectroscopically characterize the Galactic Bulge to infer its star formation timescale, compared to the other Galactic components, through the chemical signature on its individual stars. We derived iron and oxygen abundances for 50 K giants in four fields towards the Galactic bulge. High resolution (R=45,000) spectra for the target stars were collected with FLAMES-UVES at the VLT. Oxygen, a...

We analyze a sample of 32 galaxies for which a dynamical estimate of the mass of the hot stellar component, M bulge , is available. For each of these galaxies, we calculate the mass of the central black hole, M • , using the tight empirical correlation between M • and the bulge stellar velocity dispersion. The frequency function N [log(M • /M bulge)] is reasonably well described as a Gaussian w...

Using a two-dimensional galaxy image decomposition technique, we extract global bulge and disk parameters for a complete sample of early type disk galaxies in the near infrared K band. We find significant correlation of the bulge parameter n with the central bulge surface brightness μb(0) and with effective radius re. Using bivariate analysis techniques, we find that logn, log re and μb(0) are ...

We report proper motion dispersions for stars in the direction of two fields of the Galactic bulge, using HST/WFPC2 images taken six years apart. Our two fields are Baade’s Window (l, b) = (1.13◦,−3.77◦) and Sgr I (l, b) = (1.25◦,−2.65◦). Our proper motion dispersions are in good agreement with prior groundand space-based proper motion studies in bulge fields, but in contrast to some prior stud...

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common aesthetic procedures in the world. It is the most common aesthetic surgery procedure in Iran. Achieving complete patient satisfaction is almost impossible but improving the aesthetics and function of the nose is the aim of surgery. This report describes a 34 years old woman with a large bump in the tip of the nose after three times cosmetic rhinoplasties. T...

Molecular modeling and molecular dynamics have been employed to study the conformation and flexibility of a 15-nucleotide fragment of the plant 5S rRNA containing loop D and a single uridine bulge. Two different model built initial structures were used: one with the bulge localized inside the helical stem and another with the bulge pointing out from the helix. Several independent 700-ps-long tr...

Skin hair follicles (HF) contain bulge stem cells (SC) that regenerate HFs during hair cycles, and repair skin epithelia following injury. As natural aging is associated with decreased skin repair capacity in humans, we have investigated the impact of age on human scalp HF bulge cell number and function. Here, we isolated human bulge cells, characterized as CD200+/KRT15+/KRT19+ cells of the HF,...

True polar wander (TPW), a reorientation of the rotation axis relative to the solid body, is driven by mass redistribution on the surface or within the planet and is stabilized by two aspects of the planet’s viscoelastic response: the delayed viscous readjustment of the rotational bulge and the elastic stresses in the lithosphere. The latter, following Willemann (1984), is known as remnant bulg...
