The Mail-In Grand Tournament! THE MAIL-IN GRAND TOURNAMENT LXI! ARENAMASTER’S NOTES: 15 May 2016 TOURNAMENT SPY REPORT (continued) This is the newsletter for the sixty-first Mail-In Grand Tournament. All regular Duelmasters arena Round nine has twelve fights, no standbys that I can see. I can't tell you anybody's record at this point. I newsletters will include a listing of the tournament participants from that arena–all the warriors that fought will might be able to winkle it out of the files, but then again, maybe not. And time presses. I've been meaning to get have their tournament win-loss record posted for all to see. The class divisions for Grand Tournament LXI were as it one of my shirts and let it press that, but eh. All I can tell you about this round is that half the warriors won, and follows: half lost. But I can tell you that if I've done my math correctly, nine warriors washed out this round. I feel nine is too many to list, but I can tell you they all went 6-3. Ah, and the longest fight was: 5 62-2979 of NUMBERS DM 200, The Primus Tournament – All Primus inducted warriors (as of the Spring 2016 ADM Freeze) narrowly defeated LITTLE GIRL CRUSH 82-55739 of 13 YRS & COUNTING in a tiresome 111 minute brutal fight. DM 201, The Contenders Tournament – All Primus contenders (as of the Spring 2016 ADM Freeze) That's long enough. DM 202, The Eligible Tournament – All Primus qualified warriors Round ten is down to eight fights, one with a standby. Which, hang on while I do the math, must mean DM 203, The ADM Tournament – All other ADM warriors eight warriors eliminated last time. Or maybe not, because the math isn't seeming to balance. Well, five for sure DM 204, The Freshmen Tournament – All new ADM warriors and ADM Freshmen are out: Credit Line, Frankenberry, Jake the Dog, Mother Bear, and Nebuchadnezzar, all at 7-3. DM 205, The Challengers Tournament – DM warriors with 31+ fights as of the Tournament DM 206, The Champions Tournament – DM warriors with 21+ fights as of the Tournament Round eleven, five fights, no standbys. Five eliminated last time? I'm seeing some familiar names here, DM 207, The Adepts Tournament – DM warriors with 11-20 fights as of the Tournament such as Bob Eternal and Furious Bear, Marv Jr, 5 (which never seems like a real name). Everyone who made it this DM 208, The Initiates Tournament – DM warriors with 5-10 fights as of the Tournament far, even if they lost and were eliminated, is a tourney victor. And those who DID lose and get elminated, I make it DM 209, The Apprentices Tournament – DM warriors with 1-4 fights as of the Tournament three at 8-3, are Dirty Zealot, Marciano, and Marv Jr. DM 210, The Rookies Tournament – DM warriors with 0 fights as of the Tournament Round twelve, four fights, one standby. From ten contestants down to seven. Betterthanever drew the DM 220, The Dead Challengers Tournament– Dead DM warriors with 31+ fights as of the Tournament standby, an easy win. Three more eliminations, I think: 5, Bobs and Dogs, and John Ashcroft at 9-3. DM 221, The Dead Champions Tournament – Dead DM warriors with 21+ fights as of the Tournament DM 222, The Dead Adepts Tournament – Dead DM warriors with 11-20 fights as of the Tournament Wow, round thirteen was down to two fights, no standbys. Cleaning out the ranks FAST. Well, we are in a DM 223, The Dead Initiates Tournament – Dead DM warriors with 5-10 fights as of the Tournament rush. We came into this round with Betterthanever and Furious Bear at two losses each (eliminated this round), DM 224, The Dead Apprentices Tournament – Dead DM warriors with 1-4 fights as of the Tournament and Littlest Tyrant and Bob Eternal going on for the clincher in the next round. Round fourteen, one fight for the title. BOB ETERNAL 38-4460 of SANDS OF TIME was viciously subdued by A grand total of 2001 warriors participated in Grand Tournament LXI. This was a very large amount of LITTLEST TYRANT 82-55890 of THE NEPHEW in a unpopular 48 minute fight. The Tyrant won, but you can see strategy input, and every effort was made to ensure the accuracy of the strategies. Unfortunately, we cannot that Bob didn't give up easily. The Littlest Tyrant is Champion of Primust at 13-1, a tough contestant, and Bob correct any possible turn input errors, nor can we rerun fights, give credit, or change learns due to possible errors. Eternal came out behind at 11-3. Thanks to all of you for participating in this Grand Tournament.

  • Spitzer's Perspective of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Galaxies
    REVIEW ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41550-020-1051-1 Spitzer’s perspective of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in galaxies Aigen Li Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules are abundant and widespread throughout the Universe, as revealed by their distinctive set of emission bands at 3.3, 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, 11.3 and 12.7 μm, which are characteristic of their vibrational modes. They are ubiquitously seen in a wide variety of astrophysical regions, ranging from planet-forming disks around young stars to the interstellar medium of the Milky Way and other galaxies out to high redshifts at z ≳ 4. PAHs profoundly influence the thermal budget and chemistry of the interstellar medium by dominating the photoelectric heating of the gas and controlling the ionization balance. Here I review the current state of knowledge of the astrophysics of PAHs, focusing on their observational characteristics obtained from the Spitzer Space Telescope and their diagnostic power for probing the local physical and chemi- cal conditions and processes. Special attention is paid to the spectral properties of PAHs and their variations revealed by the Infrared Spectrograph onboard Spitzer across a much broader range of extragalactic environments (for example, distant galax- ies, early-type galaxies, galactic halos, active galactic nuclei and low-metallicity galaxies) than was previously possible with the Infrared Space Observatory or any other telescope facilities. Also highlighted is the relation between the PAH abundance and the galaxy metallicity established for the first time by Spitzer. n the early 1970s, a new chapter in astrochemistry was opened by some of the longstanding unexplained interstellar phenomena (for Gillett et al.1 who, on the basis of ground observations, detected example, the 2,175 Å extinction bump9,16,19, the diffuse interstellar three prominent emission bands peaking at 8.6, 11.3 and 12.7 μm bands20, the blue and extended red photoluminescence emission21 I 22,23 in the 8–14 μm spectra of two planetary nebulae, NGC 7027 and and the ‘anomalous microwave emission’ ).

Box 9500, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands ABSTRACT We apply a chemical evolution model to investigate the sources and evolution of dust in a sample of 26 high-redshift (z > 1) submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) from the literature, with complete photometry from ultraviolet to the submillimetre. We show that dust produced only by low–intermediate mass stars falls a factor 240 short of the observed dust masses of SMGs, the well-known ‘dust-budget crisis’. Adding an extra source of dust from supernovae can account for the dust mass in 19percent of the SMG sample. Even after accounting for dust produced by supernovae the remaining deficit in the dust mass budget provides support for higher supernova yields, substantial grain growth in the interstellar medium or a top-heavy IMF. Including efficient destruction of dust by supernova shocks increases the tension between our model and observed SMG dust masses.

  • Probing the Baryon Cycle of Galaxies with SPICA Mid- and Far-Infrared Observations
    Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia (PASA) c Astronomical Society of Australia 2017; published by Cambridge University Press. doi: 10.1017/pas.2017.xxx.

Spinoglio14 Abstract The SPICA mid and far-infrared telescope will address fundamental issues in our understanding of star formation and ISM physics in galaxies. A particular hallmark of SPICA is the outstanding sensitivity enabled by the cold telescope, optimized detectors, and wide instantaneous bandwidth throughout the mid- and far-infrared. The spectroscopic, imaging and polarimetric observations that SPICA will be able to collect will help in clarifying the complex physical mechanisms which underlie the baryon cycle of galaxies. In particular: (i) The access to a large suite of atomic and ionic fine-structure lines for large samples of galaxies will shed light on the origin of the observed spread in star formation rates within and between galaxies. (ii) Observations of HD rotational lines (out to ∼10 Mpc) and fine structure lines such as [C ii] 158 µm (out to ∼100 Mpc) will clarify the main reservoirs of interstellar matter in galaxies, including phases where CO does not emit.

    Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 000, 000{000 (0000) Printed June 21, 2017 (MN LATEX style file v2.2) The dust content of galaxies from z = 0 to z = 9 Gerg¨oPopping1?, Rachel S. Somerville2;3, and Maud Galametz1 1European Southern Observatory, Karl-Schwarzschild-Strasse 2, 85748, Garching, Germany 2Department of Physics and Astronomy, Rutgers University, 136 Frelinghuysen Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA 3Center for Computational Astrophysics, 160 5th Ave NY NY June 21, 2017 ABSTRACT We study the dust content of galaxies from z = 0 to z = 9 in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation that include new recipes to track the production and destruction of dust. We include condensation of dust in stellar ejecta, the growth of dust in the interstellar medium (ISM), the destruction of dust by supernovae and in the hot halo, and dusty winds and inflows. The rate of dust growth in the ISM depends on the metallicity and density of molecular clouds. Our fiducial model reproduces the relation between dust mass and stellar mass from z = 0 to z = 7, the number 8:3 density of galaxies with dust masses less than 10 M , and the cosmic density of dust at z = 0. The model accounts for the double power-law trend between dust-to- gas (DTG) ratio and gas-phase metallicity of local galaxies and the relation between DTG ratio and stellar mass. The dominant mode of dust formation is dust growth 7 in the ISM, except for galaxies with M∗ < 10 M , where condensation of dust in supernova ejecta dominates. The dust-to-metal ratio of galaxies depends on the gas- phase metallicity, unlike what is typically assumed in cosmological simulations.
