Description
We present the results of the analysis of spectra and photometry for more than 14,000 stars which are part of the second public data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We discuss the inferred metallicities and distances, which suggest that the formation of the Galactic thick disk took place over a short period of time.

    Deep HST Imaging Favors the Bulgeless Edge-on Galaxy Explanation for the Hypothetical Stellar Wake Created by a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole
    A long linear structure recently discovered could be the stellar wake produced by the passage of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) or, alternatively, a bulgeless edge-on galaxy. We report on new very deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging that seems to be in tension with the SMBH runaway scenario but is consistent with the bulgeless edge-on

    The molecular gas perspective on the growth and death of H emitters in the Spiderweb protocluster at Alpha z=2.16
    Galaxy clusters at low redshift are dominated by massive quiescent galaxies hosting stellar populations 10 Gyrs old, indicating that they were formed in the early universe when clusters were still in the process of being assembled (i.e., protoclusters). The rapid growth of galaxies within protoclusters is driven by the efficient transformation of

    Magnetohydrodynamic Processes in Solar Plasmas
    Magnetohydrodynamic Processes in Solar Plasmas provides a comprehensive theory and practice of basic plasma processes in the Sun and heliosphere. It deals with the basic dynamics of the Sun from its interior up to its outer atmosphere in the framework of Magnetohydrodynamics. Topics covered include essential phenomena in the solar interior such as
