  • The AGN Ionization Cones of NGC 5728: I-Excitation and Nuclear Structure
    Typeset using LATEX twocolumn style in AASTeX62 Draft version October 9, 2018 The AGN Ionization Cones of NGC 5728 : I - Excitation and Nuclear Structure Mark Durre´1 and Jeremy Mould1 1Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing, Swinburne University of Technology, P.O. Box 218, Hawthorn, Victoria 3122, Australia ABSTRACT We explore the gas morphology and excitation mechanisms of the ionization cones of the Type II Seyfert galaxy NGC 5728. Near-IR and optical data from the SINFONI and MUSE IFUs on the VLT are combined with HST optical images, Chandra X-ray data and VLA radio observations. The complex nuclear structure has a star-forming (SF) ring with a diameter of 2 kpc. A radio jet impacts on the ISM at about 200 pc from the nucleus, with the SN remnants in the SF ring also present. Emission-line ratios of [Fe II] and H II show heavy extinction towards the nucleus, moderate extinction in the SF ring and reduced extinction in the ionization cones. The AGN is hidden by a dust bar with up to 19 magnitudes of visual extinction; the dust temperature at the nuclear position is ∼ 870 K. An X-ray jet is aligned with the ionization cones, and associated with high-excitation emission lines of [Si VI] in a coronal-line region extending 300 pc from the nucleus. Molecular hydrogen is spatially independent of the cones, concentrated in a disk equatorial to the star-forming ring, but also showing entrainment along the sides of the bicone. Gas masses for warm and cold H2,H I and H II are estimated, and the excitation mechanisms for ionized and molecular gas are elucidated, from both optical (which shows a clean SF-AGN mixing sequence) and infrared diagnostics (which show more complicated, multi-component excitation regimes).

  • Who's Afraid of 3D Printing?
    THIS VERSION MAY CONTAIN INACCURATE OR INCOMPLETE PAGE NUMBERS. PLEASE CONSULT THE PRINT OR ONLINE DATABASE VERSIONS FOR THE PROPER CITATION INFORMATION. ARTICLE WHO'S AFRAID OF 3D PRINTING? BEN DEPOORTER* & BREGT RAUS† ABSTRACT Heralded for ushering in a new era of personalized manufacturing, there is a growing fear that consumer 3D printing is the next frontier of massive intellec- tual property infringements. Described as the Napster of patents, illegal 3D printing is foretold to disrupt manufacturing in the same manner as digital piracy unsettled the music industry. This Article shows that the negative forecast of rampant 3D printing piracy is overstated. We explain how the purported analogies between P2P file sharing and consumer 3D printing overlook essential differences between piracy of me- dia content and physical property. We caution against aggressive enforcement against unauthorized consumer 3D printing that would impede innovation and the development of 3D printing technologies. *Max Radin Distinguished Professor - University of California, Hastings Law School; Visit- ing Professor, U.C.
