Maybe I’ll get crucified for this. There’s this girl who I used to work with who had a really sweet kid (she was maybe 23/24 at the time, from a small town and very nice/considerate) and just this...
I took some LSD the other night and I spent a good half of the trip cowering in fear in my bathroom feeling like bugs were crawling over my skin and the walls. I felt connected to every other person i...
A new flux limited catalogue of low luminosity (Lx <= 10^44 erg/s) X-ray galaxy clusters and groups covering a redshift range of z~0.1 to z~0.7 has been produced from the WARPS project. We present the number counts of this low luminosity population...
The determination of the density parameter $Ω_0$ from the large-scale distribution of galaxies is one of the major goals of modern cosmology. However, if galaxies are biased tracers of the underlying mass distribution, linear perturbation theory l...
In the Simulations and Constructions of the Reionization of Cosmic Hydrogen (SCORCH) project, we present new radiation-hydrodynamic simulations with updated high-redshift galaxy populations and varying radiation escape fractions. The simulations are...
SCORCH (Simulations and Constructions of the Reionization of Cosmic Hydrogen) is a new project to study the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). In this first paper, we probe the connection between observed high-redshift galaxies and simulated dark matter ha...
With a redshift of z=6.295, GRB 050904 is the most distant gamma-ray burst ever discovered. It was an energetic event at all wavelengths and the afterglow was observed in detail in the near-infrared bands. We gathered all available optical and NIR...
I have always hated the subway takes guy, but I can now confirm after reading his wikipedia page that my gut reaction is 100% valid and based in fact (as it always is). * As predicted, he is in no wa...
Departures of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) frequency spectrum from a blackbody - commonly referred to as spectral distortions - encode information about the thermal history of the early Universe (redshift z < few x 10^6). While the signal is...
We present the final data release from the GALEX Arecibo SDSS Survey (GASS), a large Arecibo program that measured the HI properties for an unbiased sample of ~800 galaxies with stellar masses greater than 10^10 Msun and redshifts 0.025<z<0.05. This...
We present the second data release from the GALEX Arecibo SDSS Survey (GASS), an ongoing large Arecibo program to measure the HI properties for an unbiased sample of ~1000 galaxies with stellar masses greater than 10^10 Msun and redshifts 0.025<z<0.0...
We measure the large-scale real-space power spectrum P(k) using a sample of 205,443 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, covering 2417 square degrees with mean redshift z~0.1. We employ a matrix-based method using pseudo-Karhunen-Loeve eigen...
about a year ago i found out about ballcocks, the mechanism in toilets that fill it with water. I don’t know anything about toilets and I thought it was a funny name for a thing. I ended up calling ...
processes in data warehousing, addressed this issue. Cloud-based data warehouses like Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics and Snowflake
Just like how pedos become teachers, sadists are drawn to the field of dentistry. You will never convince me these guys don't enjoy hurting people a little bit. When I was like 5 years old my parents...
We give an overview of the Grism Lens Amplified Survey from Space (GLASS), a large Hubble Space Telescope program aimed at obtaining grism spectroscopy of the fields of ten massive clusters of galaxies at redshift z=0.308-0.686, including the Hubble...
The 2012 Chicago Bears started 7-1, only to finish 10-6 (tied with the Minnesota Vikings but missing the wild card on a tie breaker) The 1996 Washington Redskins started 7-1, only to finish 9-7, and ...
