Abstract: Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of the Gender Development Index, Women's Life Expectancy and Average Length of Schooling for Women on the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in the Regency/City of Bali Province in 2014-2020. This research is a quantitative research with documentation data collection method. The type of quantitative data in this study is in the form of secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). Methodology: The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative using panel data regression analysis in the Eviews 10 application. The most appropriate approach to determine the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable is the Random Effect Model (REM). Results: Based on the effect validity test or t test, it is explained that the variable life expectancy of women (AHH) and the average length of schooling for women (RLS) affect the GRDP of the Regency/City of Bali Province in 2014-2020, while the Gender Development Index (IPG) variable does not. affect the GRDP of the Regency / City of Bali Province in 2014-2020. The government can provide more space for the equal contribution of men and women in the economic, social, educational and political fields. The government also needs to allocate the state budget to achieve gender equality so that men and women have equal access, participation and benefits in promoting development. The limitation of this study lies in the IPG which has no influence on the GRDP of the Province of Bali. While on the other hand, patrilineal culture is still very strong in Bali. The possible predictors of IPG still need to be studied further to be studied so that more comprehensive dimensions of IPG can be obtained. Contribution: The expected contribution in this research is that it can be used as consideration for policy makers in determining the right policies, especially those related to increasing the role of women for economic development in the Regency / City of Bali Province. For researchers and literature, the results of this study are expected to be reference material or literature and reading material on the role of women in economic development. Keywords: 1. PDRB 2.

A rate-compatible solution to the set reconciliation problem
Authors: Lazaro Francisco , Matuz Balázs
Published: November 2022

We consider a set reconciliation setting in which two parties hold similar sets which they would like to reconcile In particular, we focus on set reconciliation based on invertible Bloom lookup tables (IBLTs), a probabilistic data structure inspired by Bloom filters but allowing for more complex operations. IBLT-based set reconciliation schemes have the advantage of exhibiting a low complexity, however, the schemes available in literature are known to be far from optimal in terms of communication complexity (overhead). The inefficiency of IBLT-based set reconciliation can be attributed to two facts. First, it requires an estimate of the cardinality of the set difference between the sets, which implies an increase in overhead. Second, in order to cope with errors in the aforementioned estimation of the cardinality of the set difference, IBLT schemes in literature make a worst-case assumption and oversize the data structures, thus further increasing the overhead. In this work, we present a novel IBLT-based set reconciliation protocol that does not require estimating the cardinality of the set difference. The scheme we propose relies on what we term multi-edge-type (MET) IBLTs. The simulation results shown in this paper show that the novel scheme outperforms previous IBLT-based approaches to set reconciliation

Tuberculosis (TB) is still a serious public health concern across the world, causing 1.4 million deaths each year. However, there has been a scarcity of radiological interpretation skills in many TB-infected locations, which may cause poor diagnosis rates and poor patient outcomes. A cost-effective and efficient automated technique might help screening evaluations in underprivileged countries and provide early illness diagnosis. In this work, we proposed a deep ensemble learning framework that integrates multisource data of two deep learning-based techniques for the automated diagnosis of TB. The integrated model framework has been tested on two publicly available datasets and one private dataset. While both proposed deep learning-based automated detection systems have shown high accuracy and specificity compared to state-of-the-art, the en- semble method significantly improved prediction accuracy in detecting chest radiographs with active pulmonary TB from a multi-ethnic patient cohort. Extensive experiments were used to validate the methodology, and the results were superior to previous approaches, showing the method’s practicality for application in the real world. By integrating supervised prediction and unsupervised representation, the ensemble method accu- rately classified TB with the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) up to 0.98 using chest radiography outperforming the other tested classifiers and achieving state- of-the-art. The methodology and findings provide a viable route for more accurate and quicker TB detection, especially in low and middle-income nations.

Beyond the Prohibition of Images: The Representation of the Unrepresentable in the Film Son of Saul
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Lee Kyoung-Jin
Published: November 2022

Direct representation of genocide has long been considered taboo in Holocaust cinema. In particular, the ‘image prohibition’ claimed by Claude Lanzmann, the director of Shoah, a milestone film in Holocaust film history, had a tremendous effect on artistic work concerning the Holocaust. However, Nemes László's film Son of Saul (2015) convincingly refutes the prevalent concerns about visual representation of Shoah. It manages to reconstruct the experience of a Sonderkommando member, a key witness of the Holocaust, by the careful arrangement of the camera's views, depth of field, and sound. To do this, the director takes seriously the issues regarding the Holocaust's unrepresentability, rather than ignoring or disputing them. If Shoah cannot be portrayed, it is because Shoah is a double annihilation in that it annihilated the Jews as well as the evidences of their annihilation. The film shows how the Nazi's destruction of representability can be placed in the order of representation at the level of not only film aesthetics but also narrative.
A Study on a Construction of the Gongbubang’s Meanings by Focusing on a Voluntary Teacher’s Experiences
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Lee Yong-seung
Published: November 2022

This study based by theories of social constructivism analyses that the A-Gongbubang is dynamically constructed by interactions of inside agents. Preceding researches of Gongbubangs fall into the trap of reifying the meaning of Gongbubangs as caring and educating that are perceived as the fixed norm in these studies. However, meanings of the Gongbubang are endlessly constructed and changed by practices of voluntary teachers. Focusing on “Daesu Kim”s experiences who had been a student and is a voluntary teacher of the Gongbubang, this study examines one process by which the student embodied meanings of the Gongbubang and another process through which the teacher have made meanings of the Gongbubang. In-depth interviews with him make this study to see the processes of changing social meanings of the Gongbubang into the scope of micro-dimension as personal experiences. This study, above all, presents that since 2000, direct political meanings are disappeared and the character of alternative education is important in meanings of the Gongbubang. And concerning on conflicts of voluntary teachers, this study argues that meanings of the Gongbubang can be constructed differently from insiders’ perspectives.
Nietzsche, Freud, Laughter: A Study on Laughter from a Depth-psychological Perspective
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Jeong Hyunkyung
Published: November 2022

This paper aims to examine Nietzsche's and Freud's theory of laughter from a depth-psychological perspective. The essential relationship between Nietzsche and psychoanalysis is that Nietzsche sees himself as a ‘doctor’ who heals a life suffering from the division of consciousness and unconsciousness. Therefore, this study focuses on Freud and Nietzsche that laughter plays the role of a doctor for humans who are sick due to the suppression of civilization to regain themselves and make them healthy. This paper first analyzes Nietzsche's and Freud's theory of laughter from the point of view of the liberation of the unconscious. To this end, we examine Nietzsche's and Freud's theory of laughter, focusing on the relationship between Nietzsche's and Freud's view of language with consciousness, and wit, a style of expression that embodies free spirit and the liberation of unconscious. Logicalizing and organizing reality is necessary for human life. However, it comes as a burden to us to standardize reality according to the law always. Sometimes logic and reason must be turned off, and if that is not possible, humans must at least rest from the concepts that suppress the life of emotions and impulses. For Nietzsche and Freud, laughter serves as a healing for humans to restore their original dynamic and spontaneous self.
Strange Passion: Gore Masculinity in the Digital Age
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Sohn Hee-jeong
Published: November 2022

In 2022, the cyber hell unfolds in South Korea. In a situation where the web hard cartel and welcome to video cases could not be properly resolved, a network of Nth Room Case-Digital Prison-Illegal Gambling Site was formed. Along with this, Hacklers and cybe-wreckers are indiscriminately making money by making sacrifices for people. This is also in line with the generational change of the gangster culture. This essay analyzes the political and economic background that led to the opening of this ‘cyber hell’ and the problem of subjectivity formed therein. To this end, it borrows Sayak Valencia's concept of gore capitalism and names the system in which violence becomes a mode of accumulating wealth in the digital media field as digital gore capitalism, and the masculinity formed as Gore Masculinity. In this case, gore masculinity refers to the concept of appropriating the subject of Endriago in Valencia's assertion to fit the Korean situation, and it refers to the use of marginalized masculinity as a resource while justifying violence. The key here is that there are consumers who consume violence, and there is an online misogyny culture at the birth of such consumers. Finally, this paper introduces the discussion of Trans Feminism as an alternative ethics to gore masculinity.
Silver(I) recovery on thiomorpholine - modified functional polymer
Authors: Pilśniak-Rabiega Magdalena , Wolska Joanna
Published: November 2022

The functional polymer containing heterocyclic ligands was synthesized by microwave modification of a crosslinked poly(vinylbenzyl chloride–divinylbenzene) matrix with thiomorpholine. The modification yield was 89.3%. The sorbent was used to recover Ag(I) from the synthetic and real chloride solutions. The maximum sorption capacity of Ag(I) was approximately 180 mg Ag/g. The sorption kinetic data were well-fitted to the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The degree of silver desorption was approximately 50.0% using a 1.0% potassium cyanide solution in a 0.50% hydrogen peroxide solution. The resin retained its capacity toward Ag(I) in five consecutive sorption/desorption cycles. The thiomorpholine modified resin was highly selective toward Ag(I) in relation to Cu(II), Pb(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) from the real chloride leaching solution.
The Role of Different Types of Management Information System Applications in Business Development: Concepts, and Limitations
Authors: Hamed Taherdoost
Published: November 2022

Businesses are highly dependent on data to make critical decisions, manage operations, and simplify processes. Information systems equip businesses to gain benefits from data and provide easy and timely access to data through storing and processing input data from numerous resources. The majority of managers can deal with large amounts of data without letting it interfere with their ability to plan, organize, and control the organization. The disconnect between static information systems and evolving organizational structures is another primary factor contributing to information vulnerability. Organizational restructuring often necessitated revisions to preexisting information fixed systems to account for changing roles, responsibilities, levels of authority, and data requirements. An effective information system enables decision-makers in businesses to monitor trends, plan, predict measures prior to their competitors. The role of information systems to improve business performance has been investigated in studies considering the importance of relevant, accurate, and timely data. However, to increase the effectiveness of information systems, a comprehensive understanding of its applications and use cases of each type of information systems based on different organizational levels is required. This paper aims to provide concepts of information systems, present different applications of information systems, and discuss the main types of information systems based on their level of application. Specific types, roles, advantages, and limitations of information systems are also highlighted focusing on their impact on business developments. Besides, the impacts of different types of information systems on organizations and processes are provided.

Published: November 2022

Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most important cereal grains that is popularly consumed globally as a staple food. A number of rice dishes are prepared and consumed in Oman. Representative samples of four different types of cooked rice dishes (White rice, Brown rice, Kabuli rice, and Biryani rice) and two traditional dishes (Arsiya and Harees) were collected from local restaurants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the proximate composition, glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of these dishes. The results indicated significant (P<0.05) differences in the proximate composition, GI, and GL values of differently cooked rice dishes as well as for Arsiya and Harees. With the exception of white rice which showed the highest glycemic index value (77.3), all other three rice dishes as well as Arsiya and Harees were within the medium GI category (59.5 to 62.9). Similarly, the white rice showed the highest glycemic load value (20.9), whereas the other three rice dishes were within the medium GL category (10.7 to 16.7). The Arsiya and Harees were within low GL category (5.4 to 6.2). The method of cooking appears to affect the proximate composition, starch gelatinization, release of glucose and glycemic index of these dishes. We are reporting for the first time the GI and GL values of these Omani dishes. The results will help in developing appropriate dietary management strategies in meal planning by using the concept of GI and GL for both the normal and diabetic subjects to reduce their risk of chronic diseases.
Applying Distributed Leadership in Micro and Small Enterprises of Kosovo
Authors: Xhemajli Ariana , Luta Mimoza , Neziraj Emin
Published: November 2022

Discussions about distributed leadership and its effectiveness have been at the center of recent leadership studies. This article aims to present the perceptions of micro and small enterprises staff in Kosovo, regarding the practice of distributed leadership, the challenges of this application and the conditions that permit the improvement of enterprises leadership. In Kosovo micro and small enterprises make up the majority of companies operating in the market and serve as the main source of employment for the Kosovo population. Thus, examining the leadership issues of these ventures would serve above all to their effectiveness and success. The ideas of econometric models about the levels of distributed leadership and the challenges of the application of the distributed leadership helped to explain some features of the leadership in micro and small MSE-s in Kosovo context. The instrument created has been delivered to 37 micro and small enterprises in Kosovo. 294 entrepreneurs and enterprises staff filled the questionnaire. The study revealed that according to the respondent’s perceptions distributed leadership is practiced in their enterprise at a superficial level, according to the 3 levels presented by empirical research. There exists a “neutral” perception about the challenges faced by the enterprise while applying distributed leadership, which shows that the respondents do not have a clear idea about the challenges that their enterprise has to face while applying distributed leadership. Nevertheless, they listed “the lack of the shared responsibility amongst the staff”, as one challenge that their enterprise faces mostly, while applying the distributed leadership. According to the respondents, it is important to encourage staff to participate in the decision making, ensure well-built relations among entrepreneurs and the staff and create strong collegial relationships among staff. This could contribute to the success of the MSE-s.
Metacognition tracks sensitivity following involuntary shifts of visual attention
Authors: Recht Samuel , Mamassian Pascal , de Gardelle Vincent
Published: November 2022

Salient, exogenous cues have been shown to induce a temporary boost of perceptual sensitivity in their immediate vicinity. In two experiments involving uninformative exogenous cues presented at various times before a target stimulus, we investigated whether human observers (N = 100) were able to monitor the involuntary increase in performance induced by such transients. We found that an increase of perceptual sensitivity (in a choice task) and encoding precision (in a free-estimation task) occurred approximately 100 ms after cue onset, and was accompanied by an increase in confidence about the perceptual response. These simultaneous changes in sensitivity and confidence resulted in stable metacognition across conditions. These results suggest that metacognition efficiently tracks the effects of a reflexive attentional mechanism known to evade voluntary control, and illustrate a striking ability of high-level cognition to capture fleeting, low-level sensory modulations.
How Do Consumers in General Evaluate, Judge, and Act toward Shoplifting? The Moderating Effects of Personal Characteristics and Motives
Authors: Shi Juehui , Pham Ngoc Cindy , Schapsis Claudio , Hossain Tofazzal , Vasquez-Párraga Arturo Z.
Published: November 2022

Despite the seriousness of shoplifting, consumers’ evaluations, judgements, and intentions toward shoplifting remain underexplored by scholars from business ethics, marketing, retailing, and consumer behavior. We propose a new shoplifting ethics model, which integrates Hunt and Vitell’s theory of ethics with Nadeau, Rochlen, and Tyminski’s typology of shoplifting, by incorporating the moderators of consumers’ personal characteristics (i.e., age, gender, marital status, income) and shoplifting motives (i.e., social, experiential, economic, emotional) onto the relationships among deontological evaluation, teleological evaluation, ethical judgment, and intention. Based on a two-by-two randomized experimental design, two shoplifting cases (i.e., swapping price tags, stealing products) are investigated in four scenarios (i.e., deontologically unethical condition with positive consequences, deontologically unethical condition with negative consequences, deontologically ethical condition with positive consequences, deontologically ethical condition with negative consequences). We discover that age, marriage, and income enhance the relationship between consumers’ deontological evaluations of shoplifting and ethical judgments of shoplifting; that employment strengthens the relationship between the ethical judgments of shoplifting and shoplifting intentions; and that marriage enhances the relationship between consumers’ teleological evaluations of shoplifting and shoplifting intentions. Nevertheless, the economic factor weakens the relationship between consumers’ deontological evaluations of shoplifting and ethical judgments of shoplifting. We find that ethical judgments of shoplifting mediates the relationship between consumers’ deontological/teleological evaluations of shoplifting and shoplifting intentions. The results imply that younger, single, unemployed, and low-income consumers engage in more shoplifting activities compared to their older, married, employed, and high-income counterparts. Moreover, even though acknowledging the inherent wrongness of shoplifting and its negative consequences, consumers can still be impelled by economic reasons to participate in shoplifting. We contribute to the ongoing debate on whether economic reasons change consumers’ ethical judgments of shoplifting and whether economic disadvantage motivates consumers to shoplift. Contrary to conventional wisdom, negative consequences and punishment do not fully deter consumers from shoplifting. Under the contingencies of personal characteristics and shoplifting motives, shoplifting intention is influenced directly by ethical judgment and indirectly by deontological and teleological evaluations. Theoretical and practical insights are discussed to help policy makers and store managers prevent shoplifting behavior.
Institutional Distance and the Motivations to Springboard
Authors: Zámborský Peter , Yan Zheng Joseph
Published: November 2022

While institutional distance presents opportunities for development of the general theory of springboard MNEs, the direction of distance and its relationship to the motivations to springboard are largely ignored in the literature on emerging-market MNE (EMNE) internationalization. To fill the research gap, we develop a model of springboard motives, and incorporate institutional distance (including its direction) and ownership share as factors explaining them. Based on an empirical analysis of over 700 mergers and acquisitions (M&As) by EMNEs from 26 emerging economies in 2015–2017, we find that EMNEs tend to have capability-building springboard motives in cross-border M&A when they move down the institutional ladder from a higher to lower quality institutional environment (with larger negative distance in FDI regulatory risk). The capability-leveraging motive is positively related to distance in terms of FDI regulations (particularly legal protection) when the company moves up the institutional ladder. Importantly, these relationships are moderated by ownership share.
Natural Disaster Impacts on U.S. Banks
Authors: Barth James R. , Miller Stephen Matteo , Sun Yanfei , Zhang Shen
Published: November 2022

We examine how natural disasters affect bank performance during the 2000-2017 period. The results suggest bank offices in affected counties raise loan rates more than deposit rates. However, we find that community banks, not non-community banks, drive the results, and by being located in disaster-prone areas, they contribute to helping communities recover from natural disasters without any evidence of price gouging. This contributes to higher returns on assets and net interest margins for community banks. Yet, the banks' resulting higher return on assets is not large enough that their offices in disaster-prone communities contribute to economically meaningful profits. Moreover, banks increase their use of brokered deposits after natural disasters to help offset any withdrawal of deposits by individuals and firms in affected communities.

Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) surveys are a standard survey tool for obtaining patient assessments of health plans, hospitals, and health care providers. These surveys measure patient experiences of care, which is considered a component of health care quality. Providers use their survey results to improve patient experience, which is associated with better health care outcomes and reduced costs. CAHPS data also empower consumers and payers to make more informed choices about providers or facilities. Some people argue that CAHPS surveys are outdated and distract providers from clinical health care quality. In this paper, we review the benefits of CAHPS, the current challenges of these surveys, and ideas for modernization and innovation to ensure these surveys remain relevant. We encourage the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and its contractors to review and implement these innovations to the CAHPS surveys and the dissemination of their results.

These data shed light on our ability to mitigate the correlated noise impact of oscillations with radial velocities alone and on the robustness of commonly used asteroseismic scaling relations.

Gravitational microlensing has the potential to provide direct gravitational masses of single, free-floating brown dwarfs, independent of evolutionary and atmospheric models. The proper motions and parallaxes of nearby brown dwarfs can be used to predict close future alignments with distant background stars that cause a microlensing event. Targeted astrometric follow up of the predicted microlensing events permits the brown dwarf’s mass to be measured. Predicted microlensing events are typically found via searching for a peak threshold signal using an estimate of the lens mass. We develop a novel method that finds predicted events that instead will lead to a target lens-mass precision. The main advantage of our method is that it does not require a lens-mass estimate. We use this method to search for predicted astrometric microlensing events occurring between 2014 and 2032 using a catalog of 1225 low-mass star and brown-dwarf lenses in the Solar Neighborhood of spectral type M6 or later and a background source catalog from DECaLS Data Release 9. The background source catalog extends to g = 23.95, providing a more dense catalog compared to Gaia. Our search did not reveal any upcoming microlensing events. We estimate the rate of astrometric microlensing event for brown dwarfs in the Legacy Survey and find it to be low ∼10−5 yr−1. We recommend carrying out targeted searches for brown dwarfs in front of the Galactic Bulge and Plane to find astrometric microlensing events that will allow the masses of single, free-floating brown dwarfs to be measured.

We describe a new transit-detection algorithm designed to detect single-transit events in discontinuous Perkins INfrared Exosatellite Survey (PINES) observations of L and T dwarfs. We use this algorithm to search for transits in 131 PINES light curves and identify two transit candidates: 2MASS J18212815+1414010 (2MASS J1821+1414) and 2MASS J08350622+1953050 (2MASS J0835+1953). We disfavor 2MASS J1821+1414 as a genuine transit candidate due to the known variability properties of the source. We cannot rule out the planetary nature of 2MASS J0835+1953's candidate event and perform follow-up observations in an attempt to recover a second transit. A repeat event has yet to be observed, but these observations suggest that target variability is an unlikely cause of the candidate transit. We perform a Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation of the light curve and estimate a planet radius ranging from

, depending on the host’s age. Finally, we perform an injection and recovery simulation on our light-curve sample. We inject planets into our data using measured M-dwarf planet occurrence rates and attempt to recover them using our transit-search algorithm. Our detection rates suggest that, assuming M-dwarf planet occurrence rates, we should have roughly a 1% chance of detecting a candidate that could cause the transit depth we observe for 2MASS J0835+1953. If 2MASS J0835+1953 b is confirmed, it would suggest an enhancement in the occurrence of short-period planets around L and T dwarfs in comparison to M dwarfs, which would challenge predictions from planet formation models.
Bridging the Gap—The Disappearance of the Intermediate Period Gap for Fully Convective Stars, Uncovered by New ZTF Rotation Periods

Published: November 2022

The intermediate period gap, discovered by Kepler, is an observed dearth of stellar rotation periods in the temperature–period diagram at ∼20 days for G dwarfs and up to ∼30 days for early-M dwarfs. However, because Kepler mainly targeted solar-like stars, there is a lack of measured periods for M dwarfs, especially those at the fully convective limit. Therefore it is unclear if the intermediate period gap exists for mid- to late-M dwarfs. Here, we present a period catalog containing 40,553 rotation periods (9535 periods >10 days), measured using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). To measure these periods, we developed a simple pipeline that improves directly on the ZTF archival light curves and reduces the photometric scatter by 26%, on average. This new catalog spans a range of stellar temperatures that connect samples from Kepler with MEarth, a ground-based time-domain survey of bright M dwarfs, and reveals that the intermediate period gap closes at the theoretically predicted location of the fully convective boundary (G

RP ∼ 2.45 mag). This result supports the hypothesis that the gap is caused by core–envelope interactions. Using gyro-kinematic ages, we also find a potential rapid spin-down of stars across this period gap.
The Properties of Fast Yellow Pulsating Supergiants: FYPS Point the Way to Missing Red Supergiants

Published: November 2022

Fast yellow pulsating supergiants (FYPS) are a recently discovered class of evolved massive pulsators. As candidate supergiant objects, and one of the few classes of pulsating evolved massive stars, these objects have incredible potential to change our understanding of the structure and evolution of massive stars. Here we examine the lightcurves of a sample of 126 cool supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite in order to identify pulsating stars. After making quality cuts and filtering out contaminant objects, we examine the distribution of pulsating stars in the Hertzprung–Russel (HR) diagram, and find that FYPS occupy a region above

. This luminosity boundary corresponds to stars with initial masses of ∼18–20 M
⊙, consistent with the most massive red supergiant progenitors of supernovae (SNe) II-P, as well as the observed properties of SNe IIb progenitors. This threshold is in agreement with the picture that FYPS are post-RSG stars. Finally, we characterize the behavior of FYPS pulsations as a function of their location in the HR diagram. We find low-frequency pulsations at higher effective temperatures, and higher-frequency pulsations at lower temperatures, with a transition between the two behaviors at intermediate temperatures. The observed properties of FYPS make them fascinating objects for future theoretical study.
A GMOS/IFU Study of Jellyfish Galaxies in Massive Clusters

Published: November 2022

Jellyfish galaxies are an intriguing snapshot of galaxies undergoing ram pressure stripping (RPS) in dense environments, showing spectacular star-forming knots in their disks and tails. We study the ionized gas properties of five jellyfish galaxies in massive clusters with Gemini GMOS/Integral Field Unit observations: MACSJ0916-JFG1 (z = 0.330), MACSJ1752-JFG2 (z = 0.353), A2744-F0083 (z = 0.303), MACSJ1258-JFG1 (z = 0.342), and MACSJ1720-JFG1 (z = 0.383). “Baldwin, Phillips, and Terlevich” diagrams show that star formation, active galactic nuclei (AGNs), or mixed effects are ionizing gas in these galaxies. Radial velocity distributions of ionized gas seem to follow disk rotation of galaxies, with the appearance of a few high-velocity components in the tails as a sign of RPS. Mean gas velocity dispersion is lower than 50 km s−1 in most star-forming regions except near AGNs or shock-heated regions, indicating that the ionized gas is dynamically cold. Integrated star formation rates (SFRs) of these galaxies range from 7 M
⊙ yr−1 to 35 M
⊙ yr−1, and the tail SFRs are from 0.6 M
⊙ yr−1 to 16 M
⊙ yr−1, which are much higher than those of other jellyfish galaxies in the local universe. These high SFR values imply that RPS triggers intense star formation activity in these extreme jellyfish galaxies. The phase-space diagrams demonstrate that the jellyfish galaxies with higher stellar masses and higher host cluster velocity dispersion are likely to have more enhanced star formation activity. The jellyfish galaxies in this study have similar gas kinematics and dynamical states to those in the local universe, but they show a much higher SFR.
Charting Galactic Accelerations with Stellar Streams and Machine Learning

Published: November 2022

We present a data-driven method for reconstructing the galactic acceleration field from phase-space (position and velocity) measurements of stellar streams. Our approach is based on a flexible and differentiable fit to the stream in phase-space, enabling a direct estimate of the acceleration vector along the stream. Reconstruction of the local acceleration field can be applied independently to each of several streams, allowing us to sample the acceleration field due to the underlying galactic potential across a range of scales. Our approach is methodologically different from previous works, as a model for the gravitational potential does not need to be adopted beforehand. Instead, our flexible neural-network-based model treats the stream as a collection of orbits with a locally similar mixture of energies, rather than assuming that the stream delineates a single stellar orbit. Accordingly, our approach allows for distinct regions of the stream to have different mean energies, as is the case for real stellar streams. Once the acceleration vector is sampled along the stream, standard analytic models for the galactic potential can then be rapidly constrained. We find our method recovers the correct parameters for a ground-truth triaxial logarithmic halo potential when applied to simulated stellar streams. Alternatively, we demonstrate that a flexible potential can be constrained with a neural network, and standard multipole expansions can also be constrained. Our approach is applicable to simple and complicated gravitational potentials alike and enables potential reconstruction from a fully data-driven standpoint using measurements of slowly phase-mixing tidal debris.
