description: Electron capture (EC) isotopes are known to provide constraints on the low energy behavior of cosmic rays (CRs), such as re-acceleration. Here we study the EC isotopes within the framework of the dynamic spiral-arms CR propagation model in which most of the CR sources reside in the galactic spiral arms. The model was previously used to explain the B/C and sub-Fe/Fe ratios \citep{BoverC,Iron}. We show that the known inconsistency between the $^{49}$Ti/$^{49}$V and $^{51}$V/$^{51}$Cr ratios remains also in the spiral-arms model. On the other hand, unlike the general wisdom in which the isotope ratios depend primarily on reacceleration, we find here that the ratio also depends on the halo size ($z_\mathrm{h}$) and in spiral-arms models also on the time since the last spiral arm passage ($τ_\mathrm{arm}$). Namely, EC isotopes can in principle provide interesting constraints on the diffusion geometry. However, with the present uncertainties in the lab measurements of both the electron attachment rate and the fragmentation cross-sections, no meaningful constraint can be placed.

description: Este artigo, resultado de reflexão teórica e de pesquisa empírica, procura investigar como funcionaram e como evoluíram as redes sociais de empreendedores provenientes de camadas de menor renda, que conseguiram, com o tempo, se projetar no mundo empresarial. Ao fazer isso, explora, por meio de pesquisa qualitativa comparativa associada aos recursos derivados da sociometria longitudinal, a história de dois empreendedores oriundos de camadas socioeconômicas mais vulneráveis. O referencial teórico ressaltou o processo empreendedor sob duas principais perspectivas. A primeira enfatizou os temas das redes sociais e do embeddedness, nos quais o empreendedor pode ser compreendido como ator condicionado e influenciado pela sua estrutura social. A segunda, por sua vez, destacou uma reflexão sobre as características pessoais, capazes de distinguir o empreendedor bem-sucedido dos demais. Os resultados sinalizam a relevância e o pioneirismo do estudo e sugerem ser o desenvolvimento dos empreendedores o resultado de uma combinação positiva entre suas características pessoais – entre as quais se inclui a capacidade de inovação – e as oportunidades presentes nas redes sociais e empresariais, capazes de evoluir com o tempo.

description: Eos family was created during a catastrophic impact about 1.3 Gyr ago. Rotation states of individual family members contain information about the history of the whole population. We aim to increase the number of asteroid shape models and rotation states within the Eos collision family, as well as to revise previously published shape models from the literature. Such results can be used to constrain theoretical collisional and evolution models of the family, or to estimate other physical parameters by a thermophysical modeling of the thermal infrared data. We use all available disk-integrated optical data (i.e., classical dense-in-time photometry obtained from public databases and through a large collaboration network as well as sparse-in-time individual measurements from a few sky surveys) as input for the convex inversion method, and derive 3D shape models of asteroids together with their rotation periods and orientations of rotation axes. We present updated shape models for 15 asteroids and new shape model determinations for 16 asteroids. Together with the already published models from the publicly available DAMIT database, we compiled a sample of 56 Eos family members with known shape models that we used in our analysis of physical properties within the family. Rotation states of asteroids smaller than ~20 km are heavily influenced by the YORP effect, whilst the large objects more or less retained their rotation state properties since the family creation. Moreover, we also present a shape model and bulk density of asteroid (423) Diotima, an interloper in the Eos family, based on the disk-resolved data obtained by the Near InfraRed Camera (Nirc2) mounted on the W.M. Keck II telescope.

description: We consider various aspects of compactifications of the Type I/heterotic $Spin(32)/\Z_2$ theory on K3. One family of such compactifications includes the standard embedding of the spin connection in the gauge group, and is on the same moduli space as the compactification of the heterotic $E_8\times E_8$ theory on K3 with instanton numbers (8,16). Another class, which includes an orbifold of the Type I theory recently constructed by Gimon and Polchinski and whose field theory limit involves some topological novelties, is on the moduli space of the heterotic $E_8\times E_8$ theory on K3 with instanton numbers (12,12). These connections between $Spin(32)/\Z_2$ and $E_8\times E_8$ models can be demonstrated by T duality, and permit a better understanding of non-perturbative gauge fields in the (12,12) model. In the transformation between $Spin(32)/\Z_2$ and $E_8\times E_8$ models, the strong/weak coupling duality of the (12,12) $E_8\times E_8$ model is mapped to T duality in the Type I theory. The gauge and gravitational anomalies in the Type I theory are canceled by an extension of the Green-Schwarz mechanism.

description: Titanium is often referred to as "wonder metal" due to its superior properties. At present, titanium is predominantly produced through Kroll's process which is complex, expensive, and needs much higher specific energy than the thermodynamic requirement and that restricts titanium's widespread use. Direct reduction of titanium slag (DRTS) is an alternative process to produce titanium from titanium hydride at a lower projected cost and energy expense. In DRTS, a two-step leaching process is used to lower the aluminum, magnesium, and silicon content in titanium to meet the ASTM International (ASTM) specifications. Magnesium was leached in a mildly acidic condition while aluminum, and silicon impurities were leached under alkaline condition. The effect of varying temperature, concentration of acid or alkali, and adding certain additives to the lixiviants have been investigated for aluminum and silicon removal. Leaching at 140°C for 3 h using a solution of 2 M NaOH and 2.5 g/l of sodium gluconate, and a solid-liquid ratio of 1g to 100 ml, produced titanium hydride with the desired aluminum and silicon contents. The effect of varying temperature, concentration of acid, and solid to liquid ratio have been investigated for magnesium removal. Magnesium content in titanium hydride was lowered below specification requirements by leaching with 0.05 M hydrochloric acid at 50°C for 15 min using solid-liquid ratio of 1 g to 400 ml. Another process for separating titanium from dissolved ilmenite using dihydroxybenzene (catechol) as a metal-organic precipitate was demonstrated. Titanium (IV) was chemically bonded with catechol at a pH of 5.5 to form a precipitate containing 98.7% Ti. The results from density functional theory simulations predicted a gap of 2.914 eV between the two frontier orbital lobes (highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) suggesting stability of the metal complex. This precipitate can be reduced in a hydrogen atmosphere to form titanium hydride which again can be dehydrogenated to form titanium.

Structural and biochemical study of Vps4
Creators: name: Han, Han
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Vps4 is an AAA ATPase that functions in the ESCRT-mediated membrane fission process. Vps4 can use the energy from ATP hydrolysis to disassemble the ESCRT-III complexes. However, the mechanism of ESCRT-III disassembly by Vps4 is not clear. I have tried to address two major questions of Vps4 mechanism: how do monomers form the functional oligomer, and how does the functional Vps4 oligomer process its substrate ESCRT-III proteins. In Chapter 2, which was published recently, we reported that the functional state of Vps4 is a hexamer, and that the interface mediating hexamer formation has been conserved in highly diverse species. Chapter 3 describes my attempts to crystallize an assembled Vps4 hexamer. Despite considerable effort, I was not successful in obtaining crystals of assembled Vps4 that diffract to high resolution, although some preliminary crystals that appear to contain a complex of Vps4 hexamer and the substrate peptide were obtained and may serve as a guide for future efforts. In Chapter 4, I report that residues in helix5 of the Vps2/ESCRT-III protein form a secondary Vps4 binding site, and show that they bind to the pore loops of an asymmetric Vps4 hexamer in a 1:1 peptide:Vps4 hexamer stoichiometry. I further demonstrate that this interaction is negatively regulated by the N-terminal MIT domain of Vps4. These findings support a model of ESCRT-III disassembly in which the Vps4 hexamer pulls the C-terminal helix5 of ESCRT-III into/through the central pore of the asymmetric Vps4 hexamer. In Chapter 5, I suggest future experiments that could be pursued to confirm this model and further advance understanding of the Vps4 mechanism.

The Structural and Biochemical Characterization of ETS Transcription Factors with Relevance to Prostate Cancer
Creators: name: Currie, Simon Logan
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Appropriate regulation of gene expression is important for the development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. DNA sequencespecific transcription factors play a central role in regulating the first step of gene expression, transcription. The aberrant expression of transcription factors is a common mechanism for the initiation and progression of many human cancers. The ETS family of transcription factors consists of twenty-eight human proteins that contain a conserved DNA-binding domain, termed the ETS domain. ETS factors have varied roles in organismal development and disease etiology. For example, ETS proteins from the ERG and ETV1/4/5 subfamilies are overexpressed in the majority of prostate cancers and contribute to cancer initiation and progression. In stark contrast, EHF and SPDEF are two ETS factors present in normal prostate tissue that have been characterized as tumor suppressors whose genes are often deleted during cancer progression. The phenotypic dichotomy displayed between these subclasses of ETS factors suggests that the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie transcription factors' roles in normal and disease settings may provide additional opportunities for therapeutic intervention. Here we describe the DNA-binding autoinhibition of ETS factors ETV1, iv ETV4, and ETV5. An intrinsically disordered region and an α-helix cooperate to inhibit DNA-binding by altering the positioning of the DNA-recognition α-helix of the ETS domain. These inhibitory elements are distinct from those that have been previously described for other ETS factors. We also characterize the interaction of Mediator subunit 25 (MED25) with the transcriptional activation and DNA-binding domains of ETV4. The inhibitory α-helix of ETV4 provides a unique interaction surface for MED25, as compared to other ETS domains, and interaction with MED25 activates the DNA-binding of ETV4. We also demonstrate the differential ability of ETS factors to bind to DNA with JUN-FOS at composite DNA binding sites. These distinct intra- and intermolecular interactions distinguish ETS oncoproteins and tumor suppressors in prostate cancer and may, in part, underlie their phenotypic differences. Finally, we present an assay for ETS-DNA interactions that is amenable to high-throughput screening for small molecule inhibitors. This assay could be further modified to incorporate any of the previously described partnerships.

description: Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is a means of assessing the reliability and integrity of a structural component and provides such information as the presence, location, extent, and type of damage in the component. Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a subfield of NDE, and focuses on a continuous monitoring of a structure while in use. SHM has been applied to structures such as bridges, buildings, pipelines, and airplanes with the goal of detecting the presence of damage as a means of determining whether a structure is in need of maintenance. SHM can be posed as a modeling problem, where an accurate model allows for a more reliable prediction of structural behavior. More reliable predictions make it easier to determine if something is out of the ordinary with the structure. Structural models can be designed using analytical or empirical approaches. Most SHM applications use purely analytical models based on finite element analysis and fundamental wave propagation equations to construct behavioral predictions. Purely empirical models exist, but are less common. These often utilize pattern recognition algorithms to recognize features that indicate damage. This thesis uses a method related to the k-means algorithm known as dictionary learning to train a wave propagation model from full wavefield data. These data are gathered from thin metal plates that exhibit complex wavefields dominated by multipath interference. We evaluate our model for its ability to detect damage in structures on which the model was not trained. These structures are similar to the training structure, but variable in material type and thickness. This evaluation will demonstrate how well learned dictionaries can both detect damage in a complex wavefield with multipath interference, and how well the learned model generalizes to structures with slight variations in properties. The damage detection and generalization results achieved using this empirical model are compared to similar results using both an analytical model and a support vector machine model.

Structural and Thermochemical Investigations of Multiply Charged Transition Metal Ion Complexes with Water and with Amino Acids

description: Guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry is used to obtain the kinetic energy dependent cross sections for collision-induced dissociation of hydrated transition metal complexes of Ni2+(H2O) x, x = 4 - 11, Co2+(H2O) x, x = 5 - 11, and CoOH+(H2O) x, x = 1 - 4. The resulting cross sections obtained for each reactant ion are analyzed using statistical models to yield 0 K bond dissociation energies (BDEs). The primary dissociation pathway for these three systems is the loss of a single water followed by sequential water loss at higher energies. The charge separation process, M2+(H 2O)x → MOH+(H2 O)m + H+(H 2O)x-m-1, is also observed for particular sized complexes in the M2+(H2O)x studies. Threshold analyses determine the charge separation pathway to be energetically favored over water loss at x = 4 for Ni2+ and x = 6 for Co2+. For collision induced dissociation of CoOH +(H2O)x complexes, the loss of OH becomes a competitive dissociative pathway to the loss of water at x = 1. Combining the experimental HO-Co+(H2O) and water loss BDEs from CoOH+(H2O)x with those for Co+(H 2O)y from literature, BDEs for the loss of OH from CoOH+(H2O)x are also derived. Theoretical geometry optimizations and single point energy calculations are performed on reactant and product complexes using several levels of theory to obtain thermochemistry for comparison to experiment. Structural characterization of gas-phase ions of cysteine (Cys), cysteine methyl ester (CysOMe) and serine (Ser) complexed to zinc and cadmium dications is investigated by infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy using a free electron laser in combination with theoretical calculations. IRMPD spectra are measured for [Zn(CysH)]+, [Cd(CysH)] +,[Zn(CysOMeH)]+, [Cd(CysOMeH)]+, CdCl +(CysOMe), [Zn(SerH)CH3CN]+and CdCl+(Ser) complexes. The measured action spectra are compared to linear absorption spectra calculated at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level (Zn2+ complexes) and B3LYP/def2-TZVP levels (Cd2+ complexes) to identify the structures of the experimentally observed species. On the basis of these experiments and calculations, all complexes examined here adopt a tridentate binding coordination of the amino acid to the metal.

description: The 'optical spring' results from dynamical back-action and can be used to improve the sensitivity of cavity-enhanced gravitational-wave detectors. The effect occurs if an oscillation of the cavity length results in an oscillation of the intra-cavity light power having such a phase relation that the light's radiation pressure force amplifies the oscillation of the cavity length. Here, we analyse a Michelson interferometer whose optical-spring cavity includes an additional optical-parametric amplifier with adjustable phase. We find that the phase of the parametric pump field is a versatile parameter for shaping the interferometer's spectral density.

description: In this paper we study a set of twelve pulsars that previously had not been characterized. Our timing shows that eleven of them are "normal" isolated pulsars, with rotation periods between 0.22 and 2.65 s, characteristic ages between 0.25 Myr and 0.63 Gyr, and estimated magnetic fields ranging from 0.05 to 3.8x 10^{12} G. The youngest pulsar in our sample, PSR~J0627+0706, is located near the Monoceros supernova remnant (SNR G205.5+0.5), but it is not the pulsar most likely to be associated with it. We also confirmed the existence of a candidate from an early Arecibo survey, PSR~J2053+1718, its subsequent timing and polarimetry are also presented here. It is an isolated pulsar with a spin period of 119 ms, a relatively small magnetic field of 5.8x10^9 G and a characteristic age of 6.7 Gyr; this suggests the pulsar was mildly recycled by accretion from a companion star which became unbound when that companion became a supernova. We report the results of single-pulse and average Arecibo polarimetry at both 327 and 1400 MHz aimed at understanding the basic emission properties and beaming geometry of these pulsars. Three of them (PSRs~J0943+2253, J1935+1159 and J2050+1259) have strong nulls and sporadic radio emission, several others exhibit interpulses (PSRs J0627+0706 and J0927+2345) and one shows regular drifting subpulses (J1404+1159).

Study of Change in Orientation of Adventitial Collagen in Cerebral Blood Vessels during and Post-Axial Overstretch

description: Cerebral blood vessels are critical to maintaining the health of the brain. The function of these vessels gets disrupted during traumatic brain injury (TBI). Even when cerebral vessels donot bleed or rupture during TBI, they may be subjected to excessive deformation beyond their physiological or in-vivo (IV) length. This alters their mechanical properties. The earlier investigation by Bell reported softening of the cerebral blood vessels, when stretched beyond their IV length, beginning at an overstretch level of 1.2. The recent investigation in our lab using Collagen Hybridizing Peptide (CHP) to detect collagen damage reported that collagen fibers begin to rupture when the vessels are stretched axially to approximately 1.3 times their IV length. It can thus be predicted that rearrangements in the microstructure of the vessels might be responsible for softening below this threshold, rather than ruptures or breaking of the fibers. The earlier investigation using CHP also found that the fibers oriented in the direction of loading tend to get damaged with overstretch. Given that collagen plays a significant role in the mechanical properties of blood vessels at large deformations, we hypothesized that changes in collagen orientation were the microstructural mechanism responsible for the sub-rupture softening observed. Based on the previous work, we expected to see axial fibers in the adventitia become less uniform in their orientation following axial overstretch. Medial fibers are not expected to have a significant change in their orientation since they are circumferentially oriented. We investigated these questions using sheep middle cerebral arteries (MCAs). We tested three MCAs from three different ewes, using a horizontal tester previously developed in our lab. Collagen fibers were imaged using nonlinear optical microscopy (NLOM). The captured data were then processed using Orientation J, Fibril Tool, and Line Tool and was finally analyzed statistically to test the hypothesis. It was found that collagen retains its mean orientation post-overstretch. Based on image processing tools used here, it was found that axially oriented, adventitial fibers did not become more disorganized, as hypothesized, post-overstretch. We need advanced methods of data acquisition and image processing to determine if there is any subtle change in collagen orientation, which could not be detected in this investigation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the effect of mild axial overstretch on collagen orientation in cerebral arteries.

We show that the behavior of these quantities during normal periods and during crisis is very different. We show that the PE ratio shows a particular distinctive trend in the approach to a crash of the financial market and can therefore be used as an indicator of an impending catastrophe. We propose that a model of analysis of crashes in a financial market can be built using two parameters: (i) the PE ratio and (ii) the largest eigenvalue of the cross correlation matrix.

description: A comparative XMM-Newton archival data spectral study of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) M33 X-8 has been performed by using both the standard disk model and the newly developed slim disk models. The results of this analysis tend to confirm the hypothesis that M33 X-8 is an X-ray binary with a stellar-mass black hole accreting at super-Eddington rate.

description: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a 40-kton underground liquid argon time-projection-chamber (LAr TPC) detector, for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies and for neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. Photon detector systems embedded within the LAr TPC add precise timing capabilities for non-beam events. The ProtoDUNE dual phase detector will consist of a 6x6x6 m3 liquid argon time-projection chamber placed at CERN and the light readout will be formed by 8-inch cryogenic photomultipliers from Hamamatsu. The characterization of the 36 photomultipliers, the base design, and the light calibration system are described. In addition, preliminary results from a 3x1x1 m3 LAr double phase detector operating at CERN are presented.

description: The massive spinning particle in six-dimensional Minkowski space is described as a mechanical system with the configuration space ${\ R}% ^{5,1}\times {\ CP}^3$. The action functional of the model is unambigiously determined by the requirement of identical (off-shell) conservation for the phase-space counterparts of three Casimir operators of Poincaré group. The model is shown to be exactly solvable. Canonical quantization of the model leads to the equations on wave functions which prove to be equivalent to the relativistic wave equations for the irreducible $6d$ fields.

description: In this work, we interpreted the high braking index of PSR J1640$-$4631 with a combination of the magneto-dipole radiation and dipole magnetic field decay models. By introducing a mean rotation energy conversion coefficient $\overlineζ$, the ratio of the total high-energy photon energy to the total rotation energy loss in the whole life of the pulsar, and combining the pulsar's high-energy and timing observations with reliable nuclear equation of state, we estimate the pulsar's initial spin period, $P_{0}\sim (17-44)$ ms, corresponding to the moment of inertia $I\sim (0.8-2.1)\times 10^{45}$ g cm$^{2}$. Assuming that PSR J1640$-$4631 has experienced a long-term exponential decay of the dipole magnetic field, we calculate the true age $t_{\rm age}$, the effective magnetic field decay timescale $τ_{D}$, and the initial surface dipole magnetic field at the pole $B_{p}(0)$ of the pulsar to be $(2900-3100)$ yrs, $1.07(2)\times10^{5}$ yrs, and $(1.84-4.20)\times10^{13}$ G, respectively. The measured braking index of $n=3.15(3)$ for PSR J1640$-$4631 is attributed to its long-term dipole magnetic field decay and a low magnetic field decay rate, $dB_{\rm p}/dt\sim -(1.66-3.85)\times10^{8}$ G yr$^{-1}$. Our model can be applied to both the high braking index ($n>3$) and low braking index ($n<3$) pulsars, tested by the future polarization, timing, and high-energy observations of PSR J1640$-$4631.

description: This thesis presents techniques to fully integrate both single photon avalanche diode and photodiode sensors to produce a monolithic 3D image capture system capable of simultaneously measuring intensity and distance. The proposed sensor enables true 3D image capture using a single optical lens and captures significantly more data than a single pixel technology sensor. The designed image sensor system is ideal for inclusion in autonomous systems such as micro unmanned aircraft systems where high quality, low latency 3D image data is required and there are strict payload restrictions.

description: Following the progress of shrinking down the sizes of integrated circuit elements, optical lithography, which is the state of the art of patterning ever-small structures, has now almost reached its final limit. This limit to the size of the smallest feature that can be patterned using photolithography is imposed by the diffraction limit of light, generally accepted to be about half the wavelength of illumination. Absorbance Modulation Optical Lithography (AMOL) is a technique of super-resolution maskless photolithography with the potential to localize light to sub-diffraction limited spaces. AMOL uses a unique family of organic molecules called photochromes that can switch between two isomeric states based on the wavelength of photon that the states absorbs, a long wavelength photon (of wavelength λ2) and a short wavelength photon (of wavelength λ1). When a thin layer of this photochromic molecule, is subjected to simultaneous illumination by a focal spot at λ1 and a ring-shaped spot at λ2, it is rendered opaque everywhere except at very close to the center of the optical node in the ring shaped λ2 spot. This competing behavior of the absorbance of the layer to the two wavelengths and the state transitions allows only λ1 photons to penetrate through the λ2 node, creating a nanoscale illumination spot, the dimensions of which are far below the diffraction limit. A recording medium placed under this layer, such as photoresist can record this illumination. In this thesis, the development of AMOL as a cost effective super-resolution photolithography process is addressed. Firstly, an improvement to the AMOL process is affected by the removal of a barrier layer that was present in previous demonstrations in between the AML and the photoresist. Secondly, experimental verification of the AMOL feature-scaling trend is presented. Next, a comprehensive model to simulate the AMOL process is constructed using finite element method based full electromagnetic wave solutions. A couple of methods to realize AMOL patterning at very low light intensity levels are also demonstrated with both simulation and experimental verifications. Lastly, an optical system is described that is capable of extending the AMOL process to patterning aperiodic arbitrary features.
Sulfur and phosphorus distribution between liquid iron and magnesia-saturated slag in molecular hydrogen/water atmosphere relevant to a novel green ironmaking technology

description: As an integral part of a research project which aimed to develop a novel green ironmaking process, an experimental determination of the sulfur and phosphorus distribution ratios, LS and LP, respectively, between molten iron and CaO-MgO(Saturated)-SiO2-Al 3O3-FeO slag was determined in the temperature range 1550-1650°C. Oxygen partial pressure was controlled by H2/H2O equilibrium in the range of 10-10-10-8 atm. For sulfur distribution, it was found that the trend of the distribution is the same as the previous work done under CO/CO2 atmosphere but LS in this case is 38-44 times less under similar oxygen partial pressure. This might be attributed to the impact of H2 on the distribution. Considering the fact that the input sulfur in the proposed process is approximately 34 times less than the blast furnace process, the proposed process would produce hot metal with approximately the same sulfur content to the hot metal produced by the blast furnace. For phosphorus distribution, LP was 450-1050 times that of the blast furnace. Also considering the amount of phosphorus input in the two processes, it was found that the expected P content in iron in the new process would be approximately three times less than in the blast furnace hot metal. This means that the proposed process will produce hot metal with much lower phosphorus which will minimize the need for dephosphorization in the steelmaking stage.

Formation of S0 galaxies through mergers. Evolution in the Tully-Fisher relation since $z\sim1$

description: (Abridged version) We explore whether a scenario that combines an origin by mergers at $z\sim$1.8-1.5 with a subsequent passive evolution of the resulting S0 remnants since $z \sim$0.8-1 is compatible with observational data of S0s in the Tully-Fisher relation (TFR). We studied a set of major and minor merger experiments from the GalMer database that generate massive S0 remnants. We analysed the location of these remnants in the photometric and stellar TFRs assuming that they correspond to $z\sim0.8$ galaxies. We then estimated their evolution in these planes over the last 7 Gyr. The results were compared with data of real S0s and spirals at different redshifts. We also tested how the use of Vcirc or Vrot,max affects the results. We found that just after $\sim$1-2 Gyr of coalescence, major mergers generate S0 remnants that are outliers of the local photometric and stellar TFRs at $z\sim0.8$. After $\sim$4-7 Gyr of passive evolution in isolation, the S0 remnants move towards the local TFR, although the initial scatter among them persists. This scatter is sensitive to the indicator used for the rotation velocity: Vcirc values yield a lower scatter than when Vrot,max values are considered instead. In the planes involving Vrot,max, a clear segregation of the S0 remnants in terms of the spin-orbit coupling of the model is observed, in which the remnants of retrograde encounters overlap with local S0s hosting counter-rotating discs. The location of the S0 remnants at $z\sim 0$ agrees well with the observed distribution of local S0 galaxies in the $σ_0$-$M_K$, Vcirc-$σ_0$ and Vrot,max-$σ_0$ planes. Thus, massive S0 galaxies may have been formed through major mergers that occurred at high redshift and have later evolved towards the local TFR through passive evolution in relative isolation, a mechanism that would also contribute to the scatter observed in this relation.

Interpreting Brightness Asymmetries in Transition Disks: Vortex at Dead Zone or Planet Carved Gap Edges?

description: Recent sub-millimeter observations show non-axisymmetric brightness distributions with a horseshoe-like morphology for more than a dozen transition disks. The most accepted explanation for the observed asymmetries is the accumulation of dust in large-scale vortices. Protoplanetary disks vortices can form by the excitation of Rossby-wave instability in the vicinity of a steep pressure gradient, which can develop at the edges of a giant planet carved gap or at the edges of an accretionally inactive zone. We studied the formation and evolution of vortices formed in these two distinct scenarios by means of two-dimensional locally isothermal hydrodynamic simulations. We found that the vortex formed at the edge of a planetary gap is short-lived, unless the disk is nearly inviscid. In contrast, the vortex formed at the outer edge of a dead zone is long-lived. The vortex morphology can be significantly different in the two scenarios: the vortex radial and azimuthal extensions are ~1.5 and ~3.5 times larger for the dead zone edge compared to gap models. In some particular cases, the vortex aspect ratios can be similar in the two scenarios, however, the vortex azimuthal extensions can be used to distinguish the vortex formation mechanisms. We calculate predictions for vortex observability in the sub-millimeter continuum with ALMA. We found that the azimuthal and radial extent of brightness asymmetry correlates with vortex formation process, within the limitations of alpha-viscosity prescription.
