Distance to the Galactic centre 7$^\prime$ halo from HI absorption
Using archival data, we have made an HI absorption study of the 7$^\prime$ halo surrounding the Sgr A complex, observed towards the Galactic centre (GC) region. We find strong HI absorption near velocities of $-$53 km s$^{-1}$, which is due to the 3-kpc arm, placing it beyond 5 kpc from us. We further examined the HI absorption properties towards 5 different parts of the 7$^\prime$ halo. Absorption by +50 km s$^{-1}$ GC cloud is seen towards only 3 parts of the halo, but not towards the other 2…

Analysis of Server Throughput For Managed Big Data Analytics Frameworks
Managed big data frameworks, such as Apache Spark and Giraph demand a large amount of memory per core to process massive volume datasets effectively. The memory pressure that arises from the big data processing leads to high garbage collection (GC) overhead. Big data analytics frameworks attempt to remove this overhead by offloading objects to storage devices. At the same time, infrastructure providers, trying to address the same problem, attribute more memory to increase memory per instance le…

"The final stage, a flat 143-km route around Rome, will be a ceremonial ride. The GC is effectively sealed, and Simon Yates — with his audacious attack and redemption arc — has already etched his name into Giro d’Italia history."

Major Mergers Mean Major Offset: Drivers of Intrinsic Scatter in The $M_{GCS}-M_h$ Scaling Relation for Massive Elliptical Galaxies
In this work we determine the total globular cluster (GC) counts and globular cluster system (GCS) total mass estimates for 27 extremely massive elliptical galaxies. The GC 2D spatial distributions of these galaxies were created from photometry of HST images using DOLPHOT in the near-IR wavelength range. The projected radial density profiles of these GCSs were determined using a Voronoi tessellation-based technique introduced in our previous paper. We then plot these galaxies on the GCS - halo …

Very proud of my trio of pull requests to add GC Loader support to FCEUGX/SNES9XGX/VBAGX - I feel like a real console hacker! (I'm not, it was a matter of gluing things together, but still!)
