Subjects: kinematics

description: The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is a multiphase and ionized plasma that surrounds and is gravitationally bound to galaxies. There is much that still needs to be understood about the spatial distribution, thermodynamics, and kinematics of circumgalactic gas. We can probe these properties by looking at the column densities of ions that trace different phases of the CGM gas. In particular, at this conference I will present the spatial and kinematic relationships between hot and cold gas in Milky Way-like galaxy simulations using MgII and OVI as tracers for the cold and hot gas, respectively. These ions are relatively easy to observe, allowing for comparison with relevant QSO spectra from, e.g., the KODIAQ or COS-Halos surveys.

Fig. 6.
Material examined: Holotype male (MNHN CC 172), China, Guizhou Prov., Qianxi County, Honglin Town, Cave Luo Sai Dong, 22.11.2003, leg. L. Latella & D. Avesani. Paratypes. 1 female (MNHN CC 172), 1 female (IZAS), same locality, together with holotype.
Name: To emphasize the animal being isolated in its cave, “ nigu ” in Chinese meaning a “nun”; a noun in apposition.
Diagnosis: Differs from all congeners in the absence of a lobe on the caudomedial process of the telopod femur, of a setoid filament at the tip of the telopod syncoxital horns, of a telopod tibial process, coupled with a low, roundly subtriangular, central lobe of the telopod syncoxite. See also Key below.
Description: All characters like in H. tiani sp. n., except as follows.
Length ca 5.5 mm (holotype) or 7.0–8.0 mm (paratypes), width 2.8 mm (holotype) or 3.0 mm (paratypes). Coloration entirely pallid. Ocelli at least 5+1, translucid, mostly barely visible. Antennomere 6 ca 1.8 times as long as high.
Second tergite with seven transverse striae, three starting below, one level to, the remaining striae above schism, 4 (holotype) or 3 (paratypes) striae (various, but not uppermost one) from below crossing the dorsum.
Male leg 17 (Fig. 6 A) with a high and regularly rounded outer coxal lobe; telopodite 4-segmented, tarsus devoid of subapical spines.
Male leg 18 (Fig. 6 B) with a V-shaped syncoxital notch; telopodite 4-segmented.
Telopods (Fig. 6 C, D) with a rather low, roundly subtriangular, central syncoxital lobe flanked by two setose horns, each latter crowned by a minute lobule. Neither prefemur nor femur micropapillate laterally. Caudomedial femoral process prominent. Caudomedial process of tibia absent; tibial tubercle on caudal face evident, papillate and pilose. Tarsus evidently sigmoid, subacuminate apically.
Remark: Due to a number of troglomorphic traits (unpigmented tegument and ocelli), this species seems to be a troglobite.

description: Low-mass galaxy groups are the most common environments for galaxies in the Universe, providing a crucial link between cosmology and galaxy evolution. Due to the low mass and sparse population of these groups, there is no strict division between the intra-group medium (IGrM) and the circumgalactic medium (CGM). These groups contain highly virialized, high-temperature gas, being the bridge between CGM and the larger-scale cluster halos. The properties of the IGrM can significantly influence the brightest central galaxy and vice versa. In this talk, I will demonstrate the efficiency of X-ray spectral stacking as a method to study X-ray faint galaxy groups identified from major optical spectroscopic surveys such as SDSS, GAMA, and DESI, and observed by the eROSITA All-Sky Survey. The stacking results from eRASS1 will be compared with predictions from eROSITA mock observations based on hydrodynamical simulations like Magneticum and IllustrisTNG. This approach not only probes the properties of the IGrM gas in groups down to scales comparable to Milky Way-sized halos but also extends and validates existing X-ray scaling relations to the CGM. Furthermore, it traces the influence of AGN feedback on baryon distribution within groups, offering insights into their internal dynamics on galactic scales.

description: Reassignment of Anaperus trifurcatus Beltagi, 1983 to the genus Amphiscolops
Anaperus trifurcatus was described by Beltagi (1983), who collected the worm from brown algae taken from the upper intertidal zone in the Red Sea. This species was placed in the genus Anaperus despite lacking the stimulatory organs (adenodactyls) that are diagnostic for the family (Dörjes 1968). A. trifurcatus has a trilobed posterior end, zooxanthellae, frontal glands, a statocyst, eight bursal nozzles, and a single male gonopore and is better suited for placement in the genus Amphiscolops Graff, 1904 (see discussion in Winsor 1990). While one other known species of Amphiscolops, A. bermudensis Hyman, 1939, also has a trilobed posterior end, A. trifurcatus is apparently unique in lacking eyes and a female gonopore, and in its possession of ciliated “sensory” pits on both sides of the male gonopore. We hereby transfer this species to the genus Amphiscolops.

description: Rhinolophus pusillus T E M M I N C K, 1834
The types of R. pusillus in the RMNH, Leiden caused a lot of mental labour. DOBSON (1878) investigated the types and concluded that they were "undoubtedly specimens of R. hipposide rus " which led to the statement that R. hipposideros should occur in Java. ANDERSEN (1905) later speculated that "an interchange of la­
bels has taken place in that Museum". The small specimens in the Leiden Museum were always kept in glass vials from the very beginning, with a little round label glued on the cork cover (C. SMEENK pers. comm.). Needless to say, these labels may have come off, so there was always the danger of specimens becoming mislabelled or interchanged. In fact, the type series in Leiden consists of five syntypes (RMNH 35177-35181), of which three represent R. hipposideros (RMNH 35178 [= Rh. hipposideros cat. syst, b] and 35179 [= Rh. hipposideros cat. syst, c] mounted specimens, skulls intact; RMNH 35181 [= Rh. hipposideros cat. ost. a] separate skull). One of the remaining two specimens (RMNH 35177 [= Rh. hipposideros cat. syst a, cat. ost. b]) consists of a skull of R. pusillus and a mounted skin of R. hipposideros', the another one (RMNH 35180 [= Rh. hipposideros cat. syst, d] mounted with skull intact) is with no doubt R. pusillus. These facts explain why DOBSON (1878) and JENTINK (1887) referred R. pusillus as a synonym of R. hipposideros, and make it clear that ANDERSEN (1905) was right when accepted T E M M I N C K ' S statement that the types of R. pusillus were brought back from Java. Since the cranial characters are widely used features in the group, from the syntypes representing genuine R. pusillus the RMNH 35177 specimen (a cleaned skull) is designated herein as lectotype; the skin of R. hipposideros bearing the same number is regarded as mis-labelled. The RMNH 35180 mounted specimen is the paralectotype of R. pusillus.
The shape of the rostral profile of R. pusillus was desribed by CORBET and
HILL (1992) as being nearly straight, almost horizontal (contrary to the up-
ward-curving rostral profile of R. lepidus). Taking into consideration of the lectotype specimen of the former and the variability of both species, this character is not typical or uniform, and cannot be used for distinction of the two species. The development of the posterior median swellings (which affects the shape of the rostral
profil) is either a variable feature of both species or it has a taxonomical significance not fully understood as yet.

Studies of gas-rich galaxies in the LADUMA Survey

description: The Looking at the distant universe with the MeerKAT Array (LADUMA) large survey project is using the L-band and UHF-band receivers on South Africa's MeerKAT facility to obtain deep observations of a field encompassing the Chandra Deep Field South. LADUMA aims to probe the evolution of neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) in galaxies over the last 9 billion years of cosmic time. LADUMA's observations are simultaneously sensitive to OH megamasers (OHMs), luminous masing systems that arise in the centers of gas-rich galaxy mergers with a prevalence that increases with far-infrared luminosity. In this work, I present some key aspects of LADUMA's data processing strategies for L-band data, including a novel approach for removing low-level continuum residuals from deep radio observations that yields clean spectral line data cubes. Based on a substantial tranche of those L-band data, I present the first measurement of the hi mass function in the LADUMA field using a novel forward-modeling approach that addresses many of the challenges of estimating the HIMF from relatively small datasets. Finally, I present multiwavelength followup observations of the "Nkalakatha" OHM, whose discovery was the first untargeted detection of an OHM and its host galaxy at any redshift greater than 0.27; these observations support a new interpretation for the detailed properties of its OH spectrum.

description: We probe the structures embedded in the foreground Milky Way ISM and CGM using pairs of OB stars in the Large and Small Magellanic clouds. The UV spectra of the massive hot OB stars (130 in the LMC and 120 in the SMC) from various instruments (i.e., COS, FUSE, and STIS) have been archived as part of the Hubble director's discretionary program ULLYSES. We have conducted a pilot study using a subset of the LMC targets observed with STIS and FUSE to assess the characteristics of the Al III, Si IV, C IV, and O VI bearing structures. The pairwise angular separation of the targets ranges between 0.002-6 degrees. Our analysis reveals the presence of statistically significant column density variation at all angular scales probed by the pilot sample. We also see a positive auto-correlation at sub-degree scales, indicating our smallest-separation sightlines probe scales smaller than the typical structures found in the foreground gas.

description: Rhinolophus lepidus shortridgei ANDERSEN, 1918
The description of this taxon as a subspecies of R. lepidus from Upper Burma (Myanmar) was published by O L D F I E L D THOMAS on behalf of ANDERSEN (1918),
based on the short notes of the latter. The diagnostic characters of shortridgei ("skull and teeth averaging larger") appeared only in the key given for the species and subspecies of the pusillus-group but even without comparison of the measurements with the other named forms. According to SlNHA (1973) shortridgei differs
from R. lepidus lepidus in having a longer hind foot (55-63% of the tibia, against 45.8-47.5%) and longer mandible.
However, investigation of the type skull (BM(NH) 18.8.3.1) and other specimens (housed in the collection of USNM, FMNH, HNHM) revealed well-defined differences as compared with the other subspecies of R. lepidus; upper canines are strong, wide-based; sagittal crest extending posteriorly to the lambda and skull length is over 17 mm. Consequently, the taxon shortridgei is considered as a full species.

Diagnosis
Roddenberryus spock gen. et sp. nov. resembles R. mccoy gen. et sp. nov., R. pelegrina gen. nov. and R. sargi gen. nov. by having invaginations in the margins of the clypeus (Fig. 9D), but can be distinguished by its larger size and by having several adesmatic joints occupying almost the entire tarsi and almost a half of the metatarsi (Fig. 9H). Additionally, members of R. spock gen. et sp. nov. lack a dense tuft of black setae on the apical part of tibia.
Etymology
The specific name refers to the fictional character S’Chn T’Gai Spock, a Vulcan/Human hybrid from the Star Trek universe, who served aboard the starship USS Enterprise as the chief science officer, played in the original series by American actor Leonard Nimoy.

Rhinolophus borneensis

description: Rhinolophus borneensis PETERS, 1861
The confusing history of the name borneensis was reviewed in detail by A N ­ DERSEN (1905) who described it as "accumulation of errors and wrong identifications" which resulted in the fact that " Rh. borneensis has for many years been completely confused not only with several more or less closely related species, but also
with the widely different Rh. minor " (= R. pusillus). One of the possible reason of the confusion should be the mis-matching of labels and/or skulls in the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin (MNB). There are two skulls (in very bad condition) in the type collection of MNB (2533.1 and 2533.2) which certainly represent specimens of R. borneensis, although both labelled as " Rhinolophus minor, type, Labuan, Java ". On the other hand, the type of R. minor is in the BM (NH). Since the type lo-
cality of R. borneensis is also Labuan (the Malayan island off Borneo, not in Java), and according to PETERS (1871) its type is deposited in the Berlin Museum, the MNB 2533.1 and 2533.2 specimens are undoubtedly the mis-labelled types of R. borneensis.

description: Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations are reaching enough resolution to explore the kpc-scale CGM via mock spectra. In this talk I will show spatially resolved absorption line "spectroscopy" of TNG50 halos using point-like and extended sources that mimic QSO and gravitational arc spectra, respectively. Our goal is to (1) study the effect these different spatial samplings have on observables like the EW-distribution and the EW vs. impact parameter relation, (2) compare these statistics with real QSO and arc data and (3) compute the coherence length of the simulated CGM and study the intrinsic properties of the TNG50 cool CGM that determine its value.

Type material
Holotype male: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro. Itatiaia. Retiro de Itatiaia (Retiro do Ramos, Parque Nacional de Itatiaia, about 2200 m). Carlos Moreira leg. 1903. Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro (1410), not examined.
Notes
Hapalotremus cyclothorax was described by a single male from Retiro de Itatiaia (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) (Figure 4) and the type material has been listed as “not located” in the annotated check list by Silva-Moreira et al. (2010) of Arachnida type specimens deposited in the Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro. It is possible that it could be a junior synonym of Cantanduba tuskae Yamamoto et al. (2012), Oligoxystre mineirum Guadanucci 2011 or Magulla obesa Simon, 1892, considering the overlapping of their geographical distributional range in the Atlantic forest (Indicatti et al. 2008; Guadanucci 2011; Yamamoto et al. 2012). However, H. cyclothorax differs from C. tuskae, O. mineirum and M. obesa in the colour pattern, the size of the body and legs and in the shape of the palpal bulb (Mello-Leitão stated in the original description that the male has a bulb with twisted embolus). Another species that overlaps its distributional range with H.cyclothorax is Homoeomma montanum (Mello-Leitão, 1923) (Gerschman de Pikelín and Schiapelli 1972, Yamamoto unpubl. data). Moreover, the type locality (Retiro de Itatiaia) of H. montanum is the same for H. cyclothorax and additionally, both specimens were captured by the same collector, Carlos Moreira (Gerschman de Pikelín and Schiapelli 1972). The length of body and legs of the male H. cyclothorax is consistent with that of H. montanum. The colour pattern with abdomen dark bearing numerous long reddish setae, the tibial apophysis with two branches bearing short apical spines, the bent metatarsus I and the shape of the bulb with a curved embolus are characteristics typical of Homoeomma species (Gerschman de Pikelín and Schiapelli 1972, Yamamoto unpubl. data). For these reasons, Hapalotremus cyclothorax is considered a junior synonym of Homoeomma montanum.

Fig. 7.
Material examined: Holotype male (MNHN CC 173), China, Guizhou Prov., Anlong County, Cave Hei Dong, 17.02.2004, leg. S. Prevorčnik & B. Sket.
Name: To emphasize the animal coming from a barely populated area and having been captured alone, “ gudu ” in Chinese meaning “lonely”; a noun in apposition.
Diagnosis: Differs in the presence of a lobe on the caudomedial process of the telopod femur, of a particularly high, linguiform, central lobe of the telopod syncoxite, coupled with the absence of a setoid filament at the tip of the telopod syncoxital horns. See also Key below.
Description: All characters like in H. tiani sp. n., except as follows.
Length ca 6.5 mm, width 4.0 mm. Coloration entirely pallid. Ocelli at least 3+1, translucid, barely visible. Antennomere 6 ca 2.2 times as long as high.
Second tergite with six transverse striae, two starting below, one level to, the remaining striae above schism, three striae (2nd, 3rd and 4th from below) crossing the dorsum.
Leg 17 (Fig. 7 A) with a low and irregularly shaped outer coxal lobe; telopodite 4-segmented, tarsus with one subapical spine.
Leg 18 (Fig. 7 B) with an arch-shaped syncoxital notch; telopodite 4-segmented.
Telopods (Fig. 7 C) with a high, linguiform, sparsely setose, central syncoxital lobe flanked by two setose horns, each latter crowned by a minute lobule. Prefemur and, to a lesser extent, femur micropapillate laterally. Caudomedial femoral process prominent, subapically with an evident lobe. Caudomedial process of tibia prominent, membranous; tibial tubercle on caudal face evident, papillate. Tarsus rather strongly sigmoid, narrowly rounded apically.
Remark: Due to its troglomorphic traits (unpigmented tegument and ocelli), this species seems to be a troglobite.

Evidence of strong clumping in the inner CGM deduced via its electron densities
Creators: name: Urrutia, Tanya
Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: CGM emission

description: Using the extreme sensitivity and 140 hour exposure times in the MUSE eXtreme Deep Field (MXDF) in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, we are able to probe the inner CGM of strongly star-forming galaxies in non-resonant emission lines out to redshift of ~1. Of particular interest, is the [OII]_3727 doublet, for which we are able to measure the electron densities out to 20-30kpc, at the edge between galaxies' outskirts and the inner CGM. To our surprise, we were able to measure the electron densities in a handful of galaxies above the low density limit, even though the ionization budget and the volume densities drop precipitously. This turns to evidence of strong clumping in these areas, the cool CGM (10^4K) ionization regions must be much smaller than 1kpc.

description: Rhinolophus affinis HORSFIELD, 1823
In the original description of the species HORSFIELD (1823) indicated no type specimen. Beside a specimen (labelled as holotype) stored in the BM(NH), JENTINK (1887) listed two more specimens in the RMNH, Leiden marked as types. However, the two RMNH individuals (RMNH 25236, cat. ost. b and RMNH 25237,
cat. ost. c) represented by skulls only, proved to be Hipposideros larvatus. The possible reason of the confusion should be the fact, that HORSFIELD worked with the two species in question at the same time (the descriptions appeared in the same book). Since there was no holotype designation in HORSFIELD's work, these three specimens are regarded as syntypes; consequently, the BM(NH) specimen (No. 79.11.21.70) as the only R. affinis is designated herein as lectotype.

Name: To emphasize the animal coming from a cave, “ yinshi ” in Chinese meaning a “hermit”; a noun in apposition.
Diagnosis: Differs from congeners except H. eusulcata, H. mulunensis sp. n. and H. mashanorum sp. n. in the presence of only one complete transverse stria on the collum, from H. eusulcata by the absence of a transverse sulcus on the second tergite, from both H. mulunensis sp. n. and H. mashanorum sp. n. by the subquadrate central lobe of the telopod syncoxite and the shape of the notch in male syncoxite 18. See also Key below.
Description: All characters like in H. tiani sp. n., except as follows.
Length ca 5.0–6.0 mm (male) or 6.0–7.0 mm (female), width 2.2–2.9 mm (male) or 2.7–3.0 mm (female). Holotype 5.0 mm long, 2.3 mm wide. Coloration entirely pallid. Ocelli at least 4+1, translucid, barely visible. Antennomere 6 ca 2.0 times as long as high.
Collum with one transverse stria. Second tergite with 8–11 transverse striae, two starting below, 1 or 2 level to, the remaining striae above schism, 3–5 striae (various, but never 1st and/or last from below) crossing the dorsum.
Male leg 17 (Fig. 8 A) with a high and highly irregularly shaped outer coxal lobe; telopodite 4-segmented, tarsus devoid of subapical spines.
Male leg 18 (Fig. 8 B) with a broadly arch-shaped syncoxital notch; telopodite 4-segmented.
Telopods (Fig. 8 C, D) with a high, linguiform, apically barely concave, sparsely setose, central syncoxital lobe flanked by two setose horns, each horn being crowned by a short minute lobule. Prefemur micropapillate laterally. Caudomedial femoral process prominent, subapically with a small lobe. Caudomedial process of tibia evident, membranous; tibial tubercle on caudal face distinct, papillate. Tarsus rather strongly sigmoid, narrowly rounded apically.
Remark: Due to its troglomorphic traits (unpigmented tegument and ocelli), this species seems to be a troglobite.

Diagnosis
Representatives of the genus can be distinguished from the remaining Theraphosinae by the presence of reddish or whitish setae (colour of live specimens) on dorsum abdomen, presence of Type III urticating hair, labium wider than long with reduced labial cuspules (from 5 to 7 in H. albipes and H. major), with the exception of Hapalotremus martinorum sp. nov. with 28 labial cuspules in females. It is characterized by the tarsi fully scopulated and divided by rows of setae increasing in width from legs I to IV, with tarsus IV divided by five or six rows of setae. Males of Hapalotremus are also recognized by the following features: tibial apophysis present with two branches, the prolateral bearing a long stiff black thorn on inner side, slightly curved at tip and of similar size to the spur, the retrolateral with a long spine inserted on inner side at the middle of the spur, metatarsus of leg I noticeably curved at base, and male palpal bulb with embolus subcylindrical curved to the retrolateral side with conspicuous subapical keel. Females may be also recognized by the single spermathceal receptaculum.

Dorsally and ventrally the entire body brown. Body encircled with dark brown bands, disappearing ventrally. Number of bands 56 around body till vent; Three bands on tail.
Remarks. Wall (1906) did not feature this specimen or the nominal taxon either as valid or as a synonym of H. cyanocinctus. Smith (1926) stated it to be a subadult female, with scale rows 31:43 and ventrals “?”. This was so due to the suboptimal preservation of the specimen. Since this was the case even in Smith’s days, we too were unable to score any more characters than those presented. Sclater (1891) listed H. trachyceps under the synonymy of H. cyanocinctus, whereas Boulenger (1890) did not. Also, Sclater (1891) listed two specimens “ZSI 8266-7” as the types of H. trachyceps. Das et al. (1998) clarified that this second syntype ZSI 8267 was not present in the ZSI and that it was not received back from Boden Kloss, probably its collector / their associate in Myanmar or a naturalist who had earlier taken a study loan of that specimen. Boulenger (1896) treated H. trachyceps as a synonym of H. cyanocinctus.
