Observations of nearby galaxies reveal a strong correlation between the mass of the central
dark object M BH and the velocity dispersion σ of the host galaxy, of the form log (M …

This paper aims at demonstrating, through examples, the applicability of genetic algorithms
to wide classes of problems encountered in astronomy and astrophysics. Genetic algorithms …

Existing observations of Uranus and Neptune's fundamental physical properties can be fitted
with a wide range of interior models. A key parameter in these models is the bulk rock: ice …

We present an updated and improved M bh–σ diagram containing 64 galaxies for which M
bh measurements (not just upper limits) are available. Because of new and increased black …

We present a detailed 1.2 mm continuum and CS spectral line study of a large sample of 69
massive star forming regions in very early stages of evolution, most of them prior to building …

A new method for reconstructing force-free magnetic fields from their boundary values,
based on minimizing the global departure of an initial field from a force-free and solenoidal …

The statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT) has been extended recently to describe the
thermodynamic properties of chain molecules formed from monomeric segments interacting …

Black hole (BH) masses predicted from the M•-σ relationship conflict with predictions from
the M•-L relationship for high-luminosity galaxies, such as brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) …

We evaluate in a homogeneous way the optical masses of 170 nearby clusters (z≤ 0.15).
The sample includes both data from the literature and the new ESO Nearby Abell Clusters …

The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a central regulatory pathway that integrates
a variety of environmental cues to control cellular growth and homeostasis by intricate …
