Descripción
Three different types of evidence are presented in favour of the hypothesis that the HII regions in disk galaxies with H-alpha luminosities greater than a critical value of 10^(38.6)^ erg s^(-1)^ are density bounded, and that the escaping Lyman continuum photons from these are the principal ionizing agents for the diffuse ISM in disk galaxies. This has important implications for the ionization of the intergalactic medium, and for computed star formation rates in spirals.

    Cosmological implications of DESI DR2 BAO measurements in light of the latest ACT DR6 CMB data
    We report cosmological results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) when combined with recent data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). By jointly analyzing ACT and Planck data and applying conservative cuts to overlapping multipole ranges, we assess how different P l a n c k

    Dark energy survey year 3 results: Cosmological constraints from cluster abundances, weak lensing, and galaxy clustering
    Galaxy clusters provide a unique probe of the late-time cosmic structure and serve as a powerful independent test of the Λ CDM model. This work presents the first set of cosmological constraints derived with ∼ 16 , 000 optically selected redMaPPer clusters across nearly 5000 deg 2 using DES year 3 datasets. Our analysis leverages a consistent

    Sensitized Radiation-Induced Polymerization of Indene with 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane
    Sensitized radiation-induced polymerization of indene monomer was achieved at a dose rate of 3 kGy/h. The sensitizer (1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane or TCE) leads to higher polyindene yields and faster polymerization kinetics with respect to bulk radiation-induced polymerization of indene. The radiation chemical yield Gp was found to increase with the
