Stellar kinematics and population properties of bar-built nuclear discs in TIMER galaxies
Creators: name: Gadotti, Dimitri A.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Galactic bars are one of the main drivers of secular evolution in disc galaxies, in particular by re-distributing angular momentum and funnelling gas to the central regions of galaxies where new structures, such as nuclear discs/rings and inner bars, are built. In this study, we constrain the formation and evolution of these central structures in extragalactic galaxies by deriving mean stellar ages, metallicities, and [α/Fe] abundances. To this end, we use observations of unprecedented spatial resolution, obtained with the MUSE integral-field spectrograph for a sample of 21 Milky Way-type galaxies in the local Universe. All nuclear discs in the sample are clearly distinguished based on their stellar population properties. As expected in the picture of bar-driven secular evolution, nuclear discs are younger, more metal-rich, and show lower [α/Fe] enhancements, as compared to their immediate surroundings. Moreover, nuclear discs exhibit well-defined radial gradients, with ages and metallicities decreasing, and [α/Fe] abundances increasing with radius out to the nuclear ring. Often, these gradients show no breaks from the edge of the nuclear disc until the centre, suggesting that these structures extend to the very centres of the galaxies. The results of an accompanying kinematic study characterise nuclear discs as kinematically distinct, rapidly rotating discs with low velocity dispersion, thus again supporting the picture of a bar-driven formation. We argue that continuous (stellar) nuclear discs may form from a series of bar-built (gas-rich) nuclear rings that grow in radius, as the bar evolves. In this picture, nuclear rings are simply the star-forming outer edge of nuclear discs. Finally, we do not find evidence for the presence of large, dispersion-dominated components in the centres of these galaxies. This could be a result of quiet merger histories, despite the large galaxy masses, or perhaps high angular momentum and strong feedback processes preventing the formation of classical bulges.

description: Non-locality stands nowadays not only as one of the cornerstones of quantum theory, but also plays a crucial role in quantum information processing. Several experimental investigations of nonlocality have been carried out over the years. In spite of their fundamental relevance, however, all previous experiments do not consider a crucial ingredient that is ubiquitous in quantum networks: the fact that correlations between distant parties are mediated by several, typically independent, sources of quantum states. Here, using a photonic setup we investigate a quantum network consisting of three spatially separated nodes whose correlations are mediated by two independent sources. This scenario allows for the emergence of a new kind of non-local correlations that we experimentally witness by violating a novel Bell inequality. Our results provide the first experimental proof-of-principle of generalizations of Bell's theorem for networks, a topic that has attracted growing attention and promises a novel route for quantum communication protocols.

description: We consider the problem of optical imaging of small nonlinear scatterers in random media. We propose an extension of coherent interferometric imaging (CINT) that applies to scatterers that emit second-harmonic light. We compare this method to a nonlinear version of migration imaging and find that the images obtained by CINT are more robust to statistical fluctuations. This finding is supported by a resolution analysis that is carried out in the setting of geometrical optics in random media. It is also consistent with numerical simulations for which the assumptions of the geometrical optics model do not hold.

description: In recent years, people have been placing more importance on sustainability. In this chapter, the researchers discussed how social media platforms, such as influencer marketing and user-generated content (UGC), can be used to bring about positive social change and encourage sustainable consumption. This chapter also explored how social media can be used to encourage sustainable production and consumption practises. The chapter investigates how posts regarding eco-friendly goods, waste-free living, and sustainable fashion are used on social media platforms to promote sustainable lifestyles. The chapter also looks into the effects of these marketing campaigns on customer attitudes and behaviours and analyses the role of influencer marketing in promoting sustainable companies and products on social media. According to the findings, social media sites can be effective tools for encouraging sustainable living and bringing about societal change. Consumer awareness of sustainability and attitudes towards and intents to buy eco-friendly products can both be influenced through the use of influencer marketing and user-generated content (UGC). Case studies like MUD Jeans and Sukin show the effectiveness of these strategies in promoting eco-friendly clothing and cosmetics. Social media platforms give people a place to communicate, share knowledge, and create groups centred on sustainability issues. The focus on a small number of case stories and research papers is one of this chapter’s limitation. In order to fully understand social media's potential for advancing sustainability and spurring social change, more research is required. To fully realise social media's promise for promoting sustainability, it is also necessary to address issues with censorship, power imbalances, and the calibre of information disseminated.

description: This work addresses the problem of camera elevation estimation from a single photograph in an outdoor environment. We introduce a new benchmark dataset of one-hundred thousand images with annotated camera elevation called Alps100K. We propose and experimentally evaluate two automatic data-driven approaches to camera elevation estimation: one based on convolutional neural networks, the other on local features. To compare the proposed methods to human performance, an experiment with 100 subjects is conducted. The experimental results show that both proposed approaches outperform humans and that the best result is achieved by their combination.

description: We demonstrate with an experiment how molecules are a natural test-bed for probing fundamental quantum thermodynamics. Single-molecule spectroscopy has undergone transformative change in the past decade with the advent of techniques permitting individual molecules to be distinguished and probed. By considering the time-resolved emission spectrum of organic molecules as arising from quantum jumps between states, we demonstrate that the quantum Jarzynski equality is satisfied in this set-up. This relates the heat dissipated into the environment to the free energy difference between the initial and final state. We demonstrate also how utilizing the quantum Jarzynski equality allows for the detection of energy shifts within a molecule, beyond the relative shift.

description: Authorisation and authentication processes are a key component of any modern informatics system. Nowadays most online systems require personalisation or restriction of the output data depending on the user identity or permissions. This deliverable tackles the problem of authorising and authenticating users inside of the FNS-Cloud research cloud. The deliverable starts with the introduction to the topic and explanation on why the most common approach of shipping local authorisation and authentication (AAI) solution is not suitable for research clouds. Then, a solution is proposed – integration of an AAI into the FNS-Cloud. While AAI can have many meanings and definitions, in this case it’s a central user identity provider, from which application providers can obtain FNS-Cloud members identities. Additionally, the possibility of connecting to other research clouds via federation is discussed, although that is an ongoing effort. After proposing the solution, then research is carried out to find and compare software that can be utilised in creating such an infrastructure. It is worth noting that in order to reduce maintenance costs only software which is open-source and free to use was considered in this deliverable. After the evaluation and discussion between FNS-Cloud project technical beneficiaries an open-source identity and access management solution Keycloak was selected and implemented as the base of the proposed AAI system. Additionally, this deliverable provides a manual for application developers on how to integrate with the FNS Cloud AAI.

description: The Kuperberg invariant is a topological invariant of closed 3-manifolds based on finite-dimensional Hopf algebras. In this paper, we initiate the program of constructing 4-manifold invariants in the spirit of Kuperberg's 3-manifold invariant. We utilize a structure called a Hopf triplet, which consists of three Hopf algebras and a bilinear form on each pair subject to certain compatibility conditions. In our construction, we present 4-manifolds by their trisection diagrams, a four-dimensional analog of Heegaard diagrams. The main result is that every Hopf triplet yields a diffeomorphism invariant of closed 4-manifolds. In special cases, our invariant reduces to Crane-Yetter invariants and generalized dichromatic invariants, and conjecturally Kashaev's invariant. As a starting point, we assume that the Hopf algebras involved in the Hopf triplets are semisimple. We speculate that relaxing semisimplicity will lead to even richer invariants.

description: To fully exploit the scientific potential of the Fermi mission, we initiated the F-GAMMA program. Between 2007 and 2015 it was the prime provider of complementary multi-frequency monitoring in the radio regime. We quantify the radio variability of gamma-ray blazars. We investigate its dependence on source class and examine whether the radio variability is related to the gamma-ray loudness. Finally, we assess the validity of a putative correlation between the two bands. The F-GAMMA monitored monthly a sample of about 60 sources at up to twelve radio frequencies between 2.64 and 228.39 GHz. We perform a time series analysis on the first 2.5-year dataset to obtain variability parameters. A maximum likelihood analysis is used to assess the significance of a correlation between radio and gamma-ray fluxes. We present light curves and spectra (coherent within ten days) obtained with the Effelsberg 100-m and IRAM 30-m telescopes. All sources are variable across all frequency bands with amplitudes increasing with frequency up to rest frame frequencies of around 60 - 80 GHz as expected by shock-in-jet models. Compared to FSRQs, BL Lacs show systematically lower variability amplitudes, brightness temperatures and Doppler factors at lower frequencies, while the difference vanishes towards higher ones. The time scales appear similar for the two classes. The distribution of spectral indices appears flatter or more inverted at higher frequencies for BL Lacs. Evolving synchrotron self-absorbed components can naturally account for the observed spectral variability. We find that the Fermi-detected sources show larger variability amplitudes as well as brightness temperatures and Doppler factors, than non-detected ones. Flux densities at 86.2 and 142.3 GHz correlate with 1 GeV fluxes at a significance level better than 3sigma, implying that gamma rays are produced very close to the mm-band emission region.

description: The in-place growth of suspended carbon nanotubes facilitates the observation of both unperturbed electronic transport spectra and high-Q vibrational modes. For complex structures integrating, e.g., superconducting rf elements on-chip, selection of a chemically and physically resistant material that survives the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process provides a challenge. We demonstrate the implementation of molybdenum-rhenium coplanar waveguide resonators that exhibit clear resonant behaviour at cryogenic temperatures even after having been exposed to nanotube growth conditions. The properties of the MoRe devices before and after CVD are compared to a reference niobium device.

description: We perform a comprehensive analysis of the strange-antistrange parton distribution function (PDF) asymmetry in the proton in the framework of chiral effective theory, including the full set of lowest order kaon loop diagrams with off-shell and contact interactions, in addition to the usual on-shell contributions previously discussed in the literature. We identify the presence of $δ$-function contributions to the $\bar s$ PDF at $x=0$, with a corresponding valence-like component of the $s$-quark PDF at larger $x$, which allows greater flexibility for the shape of $s-\bar s$. Expanding the moments of the PDFs in terms of the pseudoscalar kaon mass, we compute the leading nonanalytic behavior of the number and momentum integrals of the $s$ and $\bar s$ distributions, consistent with the chiral symmetry of QCD. We discuss the implications of our results for the understanding of the NuTeV anomaly and for the phenomenology of strange quark PDFs in global QCD analysis.

We transparently show that the existence of such solutions demand non vanishing and bounded heat flux and these solutions are self similar. We provide a brief algorithm indicating how to solve the system of field equations with the given Cauchy data on an initial spacelike Cauchy surface. Finally we argue that these solutions can be used as a first approximation from spherical symmetry to study rotating, inhomogeneous, dynamic and radiating astrophysical stars.

description: We present the properties of magnetic fields (B-fields) in two clumps (clump 1 and clump 2), located at the waist of the bipolar H II region Sh2-201, based on JCMT SCUBA-2/POL-2 observations of 850 $μ$m polarized dust emission. We find that B-fields in the direction of the clumps are bent and compressed, showing bow-like morphologies, which we attribute to the feedback effect of the H II region on the surface of the clumps. Using the modified Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method we estimate B-fields strengths of 266 $μ$G and 65 $μ$G for clump 1 and clump 2, respectively. From virial analyses and critical mass ratio estimates, we argue that clump 1 is gravitationally bound and could be undergoing collapse, whereas clump 2 is unbound and stable. We hypothesize that the interplay between thermal pressure imparted by the H II region, B-field morphologies, and the various internal pressures of the clumps (such as magnetic, turbulent, and gas thermal pressure), has the following consequences: (a) formation of clumps at the waist of the H II region; (b) progressive compression and enhancement of the B-fields in the clumps; (c) stronger B-fields will shield the clumps from erosion by the H II region and cause pressure equilibrium between the clumps and the H II region, thereby allowing expanding I-fronts to blow away from the filament ridge, forming bipolar H II regions; and (d) stronger B-fields and turbulence will be able to stabilize the clumps. A study of a larger sample of bipolar H II regions would help to determine whether our hypotheses are widely applicable.

description: We show that simply connected contact manifolds that are subcritically Stein fillable have a unique symplectically aspherical filling up to diffeomorphism. Various extensions to manifolds with non-trivial fundamental group are discussed. The proof rests on homological restrictions on symplectic fillings derived from a degree-theoretic analysis of the evaluation map on a suitable moduli space of holomorphic spheres. Applications of this homological result include a proof that compositions of right-handed Dehn twists on Liouville domains are of infinite order in the symplectomorphism group. We also derive uniqueness results for subcritical Stein fillings up to homotopy equivalence and, under some topological assumptions on the contact manifold, up to diffeomorphism or symplectomorphism.

description: In vortex-like spin arrangements, multiple spins can combine into emergent multipole moments. Such multipole moments have broken space-inversion and time-reversal symmetries, and can therefore exhibit linear magnetoelectric (ME) activity. Three types of such multipole moments are known: toroidal, monopole, and quadrupole moments. So far, however, the ME-activity of these multipole moments has only been established experimentally for the toroidal moment. Here, we propose a magnetic square cupola cluster, in which four corner-sharing square-coordinated metal-ligand fragments form a noncoplanar buckled structure, as a promising structural unit that carries an ME-active multipole moment. We substantiate this idea by observing clear magnetodielectric signals associated with an antiferroic ME-active magnetic quadrupole order in the real material Ba(TiO)Cu$_4$(PO$_4$)$_4$. The present result serves as a useful guide for exploring and designing new ME-active materials based on vortex-like spin arrangements.

description: We analyze, in general terms, the evolution of energy levels in quantum mechanics, as a function of a coupling parameter, and demonstrate the possibility of level crossings in systems described by irreducible matrices. In long-range interactions, the coupling parameter is the interatomic distance. We demonstrate the utility of adjacency matrices and adjacency graphs in the analysis of "hidden" symmetries of a problem; these allow us to break reducible matrices into irreducible subcomponents. A possible breakdown of the no-crossing theorem for higher-dimensional irreducible matrices is indicated, and an application to the 2S-2S interaction in hydrogen is briefly described. The analysis of interatomic interactions in this system is important for further progress on optical measurements of the 2S hyperfine splitting.

description: Im Buch der Weisheit 19,13–17 wird Sodom rund um die Zeitenwende erstmals in einem griechischsprachigen Text mit Fremdenhass in Zusammenhang gebracht. Im Buch der Weisheit 19,14f. wird die göttliche Bestrafung der Leute von Sodom allein mit ihrem hasserfüllten Empfang der Fremden begründet, wie er in LXX Gen 19,4–11 nachzulesen ist. Sexuelle Übergriffe der Leute von Sodom auf sie werden dabei keine erwähnt. Das wäre aber auch kein Vergleichspunkt mit dem Verhalten des ägyptischen Volks im Buch Exodus. Aussage der Passage im Buch der Weisheit 19,13–17 ist nämlich die Betonung des Fehlverhaltens Ägyptens in Form eines Vergleichs mit Sodom. Da die Ägypter_Innen das xenophobe Verhalten der Sodomiter_Innen noch übertreffen, wurden sie ebenfalls hart auf die gleiche Weise bestraft, nämlich mit Blindheit geschlagen, wie es im Hinblick auf die Ägypter_Innen in LXX Ex 10,21–23 bzw. LXX Ex 14,20 und hinsichtlich der Sodomiter_Innen in LXX Gen 19,11 geschrieben steht. In the Book of Wisdom 19:13–17 Sodom is associated with hatred of foreigners at the turn of the eras for the first time in a Greek text. In the Book of Wisdom 19:14f. the divine punishment of the people of Sodom is solely based on their hateful reception of strangers as it can be read in LXX Gen 19:4–11. Sexual assaults of the people of Sodom on them are not mentioned in this passage. But this, however, neither would be a point of comparison with the behavior of the Egypt people in the Book of Exodus. The meaning of the text in the Book of Wisdom 19:13–17 namely is the emphasis of the misconduct of Egypt in terms of a comparison with Sodom. Because the Egyptians even surpass the xenophobic behavior of the Sodomites, also they were severely punished in the same way, namely smitten with blindness as is it written in reference to the Egyptians in LXX Ex 10:21–23 or LXX Ex 14:20 and in respect to the Sodomites in LXX Gen 19:11.

description: Within FNS-Cloud, there are specific tasks (located in WP6 Dissemination, Communication & Community Engagement and WP7 Education, training & support) associated with the development of educational and professional development resources to support use of FNS-Cloud resources (data, tools, and services) but also address barrier to re-use of existing and emerging food [and] nutrition security resources including lack of (1) awareness and (2) confidence; (3) disparity in access; and (4) fragmentation. These activities have, in themselves, required innovative use of social and practice-based learning. In D7.4 Publication: Case Studies and Innovative User Cases, we describe two such innovations within FNS-Cloud. The first is a reflective paper on design and development of an online community of practice platform and its use as a collaboration tool by the consortium during the project and preparation for the platform as a key exploitable result, i.e., a sustainable resource hub for FNS-Cloud user communities. A critique is offered that allows for improved design and use of such platforms in future large multidisciplinary projects. We will never know if myFNSCloud might have fulfilled its potential sooner and more easily if face-to-face meetings had continued as normal, or a Google (shared) drive had not dominated as a route for collaboration and exchange, meaning the imperative for myFNSCloud was not clear and engagement minimal. Latterly, because face-to-face events were possible, value was delivered through training and personal development opportunities as well as providing a repository for education and training resources, increasing awareness and engagement. Now, the role of the platform as a knowledge hub has been clarified and there is an appreciation of its potential to add value for user communities. The second use case considers distribution of funds for practice-based learning and how these can be administered through a competitive scheme in a clear and transparent manner to support work within a large multidisciplinary and multinational research and innovation project. It is presented as a handbook, providing a background on practice-based learning, process for running such a scheme, criteria for assessment of such grants, and reflective reporting by recipients, which will be published via the FNSCloud Zenodo Community to encourage re-use and further development of practical learning schemes.

description: Helicity of free massless Dirac fermions is a conserved, Lorentz-invariant quantity at the level of the classical equations of motion. For a generic ensemble consisting of particles and antiparticles, the helical and chiral charges are different conserved quantities. The flow of helicity can be modelled by the helicity current, which is again conserved in the absence of interactions. Similar to the axial vortical effect which generates an axial (chiral) current, the helicity current is induced by vorticity in a finite temperature medium with vector (electrical) charge imbalance via the helical vortical effects, leading to new nondissipative transport phenomena. These phenomena lead to the appearance of a new hydrodynamic excitation, the helical vortical wave. Our results suggest the existence of a new type of triangle anomalies in QED which involve the helicity currents in addition to the standard vector and axial currents. Further exploiting the conservation of the helical current, we show that a finite helical chemical potential may be used to characterise thermodynamic ensembles of fermions similarly to, but independently of, the vector charge and chirality. We derive the pressure $P$ for fermions at finite vector, axial and helical chemical potentials and show that the quantities arising in anomalous transport, including various vortical and circular conductivities and the shear-stress coefficients, can be obtained by differentiation of $P$ with respect to the appropriate chemical potentials. Finally, we calculate the helicity relaxation time in the quark-gluon plasma above the crossover and show that it is similar to that for the axial charge.

Low-metallicity Absorbers Account for Half of the Dense Circumgalactic Gas at z < 1

description: We present an analysis of the metallicity distribution of the dense circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies at 0.1 < z < 1.1 as probed by partial Lyman limit systems (pLLSs, 16.1 < log N(H I) < 17.2) and LLSs (17.2 < log N(H I) < 17.7 in our sample). The new H I-selected sample, drawn from our HST COS G140L snapshot survey of 61 QSOs, has 20 pLLSs and 10 LLSs. Combined with our previous survey, we have a total of 44 pLLSs and 11 LLSs. We find that the metallicity distribution of the pLLSs is bimodal at z < 1, with a minimum at [X/H] = -1. The low-metallicity peak comprises (57 +/- 8)% of the pLLSs and is centered at [X/H] ~ -1.87 (1.3% solar metallicity), while the high-metallicity peak is centered at [X/H] ~ -0.32 (48% solar metallicity). Although the sample of LLSs is still small, there is some evidence that the metallicity distributions of the LLSs and pLLSs are different, with a far lower fraction of very metal-poor ([X/H] < -1.4) LLSs than pLLSs. The fraction of LLSs with [X/H] < -1 is similar to that found in pLLSs (~56%). However, higher H I column density absorbers (log N(H I) > 19.0) show a much lower fraction of metal-poor gas; therefore, the metallicity distribution of gas in and around galaxies depends sensitively on N(H I) at z < 1. We interpret the high-metallicity ([X/H] > -1) pLLSs and LLSs as arising in outflows, recycling winds, and tidally-stripped gas around galaxies. The low-metallicity pLLSs and LLSs imply that the CGM of z < 1 galaxies is also host to a substantial mass of cool, dense, low-metallicity gas that may ultimately accrete onto the galaxies.

D3.5: Report on TIME4CS Mentoring Programme

Institutional changes

description: The current document, titled ’Report on TIME4CS Mentoring Programme’, has been developed within the framework of the TIME4CS project which is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No 101006201. TIME4CS supports Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) in defining and implementing Institutional Changes aimed at a better and more effective engagement of citizens in research and innovation. The process is based on institutional “roadmaps” defined and agreed at the beginning of the project by all partners involved. Roadmaps identify specific Intervention Areas and Grounding Actions aimed at generating change within the RPO. To facilitate this process, TIME4CS strongly relies on the collaboration and knowledge transfer between experienced institutions where Citizen Science is already established (called Front Runners (FR)), and institutions that are at an early stage of adoption (called Implementers). A substantial part of the project activities (WP2, WP3, WP5) involves exchanges among FRs and Implementers in the form of mutual learning, training, and mentoring visits, aimed at encouraging exchange of experiences and tailored support between the two groups. This Deliverable is a report on the Mentoring Visits organized under Task 3.3 Mentoring Programme. The aim of the Visits was to illustrate and discuss the progress done by each Implementer in the respective roadmap. Each Implementer organized one such visit in its host institution, which included a one-day event on site with representatives from all Front-Runners, the project coordinators, and local actors. Mentoring Visits were also the occasion for each implementer to share specific questions and get tailored suggestions from FRs. This document reports details on the organization, agenda, participants, and key points of discussion for each of the Mentoring Visits. It also includes a few lessons learned, although details on the conclusions will be discussed in "D5.3. Final evaluation and Impact Assessment Report”.

description: We describe two geometrically meaningful compactifications of the moduli space of elliptic K3 surfaces via stable slc pairs, for two different choices of a polarizing divisor, and show that their normalizations are two different toroidal compactifications of the moduli space, one for the ramification divisor and another for the rational curve divisor. In the course of the proof, we further develop the theory of integral affine spheres with 24 singularities. We also construct moduli of rational (generalized) elliptic stable slc surfaces of types ${\bf A_n}$ ($n\ge1$), ${\bf C_n}$ ($n\ge0$) and ${\bf E_n}$ ($n\ge0$).

description: Model driven development is an effective method due to its benefits such as code transformation, increasing productivity and reducing human based error possibilities. Meanwhile, agile software development increases the software flexibility and customer satisfaction by using iterative method. Can these two development approaches be combined to develop web applications efficiently? What are the challenges and what are the benefits of this approach? In this paper, we answer these two crucial problems; combining model driven development and agile software development results in not only fast development and easiness of the user interface design but also efficient job tracking. We also defined an agile model based approach for web applications whose implementation study has been carried out to support the answers we gave these two crucial problems.
