Arxiv:2009.04090V2 [Astro-Ph.GA] 14 Sep 2020
Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics manuscript no. (LATEX: tikhonov˙Dorado.tex; printed on September 15, 2020; 1:01) Distance to the Dorado galaxy group N.A. Tikhonov1, O.A. Galazutdinova1 Special Astrophysical Observatory, Nizhnij Arkhyz, Karachai-Cherkessian Republic, Russia 369167; [email protected] Abstract Based on the archival images of the Hubble Space Telescope, stellar photometry of the brightest galaxies of the Dorado group:NGC 1433, NGC1533,NGC1566and NGC1672 was carried out. Red giants were found on the obtained CM diagrams and distances to the galaxies were measured using the TRGB method. The obtained values: 14.2±1.2, 15.1±0.9, 14.9 ± 1.0 and 15.9 ± 0.9 Mpc, show that all the named galaxies are located approximately at the same distances and form a scattered group with an average distance D = 15.0 Mpc. It was found that blue and red supergiants are visible in the hydrogen arm between the galaxies NGC1533 and IC2038, and form a ring structure in the lenticular galaxy NGC1533, at a distance of 3.6 kpc from the center. The high metallicity of these stars (Z = 0.02) indicates their origin from NGC1533 gas. Key words: groups of galaxies, Dorado group, stellar photometry of galaxies: TRGB- method, distances to galaxies, galaxies NGC1433, NGC 1533, NGC1566, NGC1672 1 INTRODUCTION arXiv:2009.04090v2 [astro-ph.GA] 14 Sep 2020 A concentration of galaxies of different types and luminosities can be observed in the southern constella- tion Dorado. Among them, Shobbrook (1966) identified 11 galaxies, which, in his opinion, constituted one group, which he called “Dorado”. -

Dorado is a nearby (17.69 Mpc) strongly evolving galaxy group in the Southern Hemisphere. We are investigating the star formation in this group. This paper provides a FUV imaging of NGC 1533, IC 2038 and IC 2039, which form a substructure, south west of the Dorado group barycentre. FUV CaF2-1 UVIT-Astrosat images enrich our knowledge of the system provided by GALEX. In conjunction with deep optical wide-field, narrow-band Ha and 21-cm radio images we search for signatures of the interaction mechanisms looking in the FUV morphologies and derive the star formation rate. -

Eschatology and the Technological Future
Eschatology and the Technological Future This book offers an insightful and timely analysis of key theorists and ideas in the intersection between theology and technology. From the religiously inspired technological optimism of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Nikolai Fedorov, to the darker technological pessimism of Jacques Ellul, the contributions of Christian theorists to under- standing the technological milieu can offer us fresh perspectives on some intractable problems of modern life. As Burdett clearly shows, technological optimism and utopianism have religious roots, and a technological culture that ignores its own roots is in danger not only of environmental devastation, but also existential and spiritual despair. A fi ne book at a critical time. — David Lewin, Liverpool Hope University, UK The rapid advancement of technology has led to an explosion of speculative theories about what the future of humankind may look like. These “tech- nological futurisms” from the fi elds of nanotechnology, biotechnology and information technology are drawing growing scrutiny from the philosophi- cal and theological communities. This text seeks to contextualize the grow- ing literature on the cultural, philosophical and religious implications of technological advancement by considering technological futurisms such as transhumanism in the context of the long historical tradition of technologi- cal dreaming. Michael Burdett traces the latent religious sources of our con- temporary technological imagination by looking at visionary approaches to technology and the future in seminal technological utopias and sci- ence fi ction and draws on past theological responses to the technological future with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Jacques Ellul. Burdett’s argu- ment arrives at a contemporary Christian response to transhumanism based around the themes of possibility and promise by turning to the works of Richard Kearney, Eberhard Jüngel and Jürgen Moltmann. -

The low surface brightness galaxies were chosen based on their sizes and magnitudes at the limiting isophote of 26 V k. The selected galaxies have magnitudes brighter than V B 20(M B [11 for an assumed distance to the V ~2 group of 17.2 Mpc), with central surface brightnesses k0 [ 22.5 V mag arcsec , scale lengths h [ 2A, and diameters º14A at the limiting isophote. Using these criteria, we identiÐed 69 dwarf galaxy candi- dates. Four of them are large very low surface brightness galaxies that were detected on a smoothed image, after masking high surface brightness objects. -

To search for massive stars, we used the results of stellar photom- etry of the Hubble Space Telescope images using the DAOPHOT and DOLPHOT packages. The results of such searches are shown on the example of the galaxies DDO68, M94 and NGC1672. In the galaxy DDO68 the LBV star changes its brightness, and in M 94 massive stars can be identified by the excess in the Hα band. For the galaxy NGC1672, we measured the distance for the first time by the TRGB method, which made it possible to determine the luminosities of the brightest stars, likely hypergiants, in the young star formation region. So far we have performed stellar photometry of HST images of 320 northern sky galaxies located at a distance below 12 Mpc. This allowed us to identify 53 galaxies with probable hypergiants. -

From Puppet to Cyborg: Posthuman and Postmodern Retellings of the Pinocchio Myth
FROM PUPPET TO CYBORG: POSTHUMAN AND POSTMODERN RETELLINGS OF THE PINOCCHIO MYTH By Georgia Panteli Thesis submitted to University College London for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy CENTRE FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY & INTERCULTURAL INQUIRY (CMII), SCHOOL OF EUROPEAN LANGUAGES, CULTURE & SOCIETY (SELCS) UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1 Declaration of Authorship I, [Georgia Panteli] confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract The myth of Pinocchio is the story of a puppet that desires to become human and achieves it with the power of his will. Created by Carlo Collodi in The Adventures of Pinocchio, the myth of Pinocchio is linked to the fairy tale tradition and is the most recent manifestation of the animate/inanimate archetype. This thesis is the first systematic study of the Pinocchio myth and examines how it has been used and reinterpreted in different retellings across different media and disciplines. The first part of this study focuses on Pinocchio retellings in film and shows that the most contemporary example of the Pinocchio myth is in the story of the sentient cyborg/robot that desires humanity. Moving from the classic in the field of cyborg studies Blade Runner through Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence, which directly links the robot to Pinocchio, to the least technophobic and most transhumanist Battlestar Galactica, Chapter 1 demonstrates how all case studies are connected to Collodi’s novel through the confrontation scene, a specific passage in the text which touches upon the core of the Pinocchio myth, as Pinocchio is confronted both by the Blue Fairy and his corporeality.
