Luminosity functions are used to study the properties of large groups or classes of objects, such as the stars in clusters or the galaxies in the Local Group. Note that the term "function" is slightly misleading, and the luminosity function might better be described as a luminosity distribution. Given a luminosity as input, the luminosity ...
The Press–Schechter formalism predicts that the number of objects with mass between and + is: = (+) ¯ (+) / (() (+) /). where is the index of the power spectrum of the fluctuations in the early universe (), ¯ is the mean (baryonic and dark) matter density of the universe at the time the fluctuation from which the object was formed had gravitationally collapsed, and is a cut-off mass ...
The dashed red line is an example luminosity function when the Malmquist bias is not corrected for. The more numerous low luminosity objects are underrepresented because of the apparent magnitude limit of the survey. The solid blue line is the properly corrected luminosity function using the volume-weighted correction method.
My life had changed thanks to a music video shoot in East Austin, Texas, amidst hipsters nursing craft beers while dancing to bluegrass. I’d planned to have one drink before packing for my long ...
Paul L. Schechter (born May 30, 1948) is an American astronomer and observational cosmologist. He is the William A. M. Burden Professor of Astrophysics, Emeritus, at MIT . Schechter received his bachelor's degree from Cornell in 1968, and his Ph.D. degree from Caltech in 1975.

"Whatever stage of your life, whatever age, whatever size, we have to love every inch and own every part of ourselves,” said Long, per a SKIMS press release Nia Long Gets ‘Almost Naked’ in ...
Many humans naturally assume in real-world situations that if they are not told the probability of a certain event, it is to deceive them. Participants make the same decisions in the experiment as they would about related but not identical real-life problems where the experimenter would be likely to be a deceiver acting against the subject's ...
