The alternative burial method that could soon come to Australia
Advocates say human composting offers a sustainable, greener alternative to burials and crematoriums, and can also provide a cheaper and equitable option after death.

Morphology-spin connection in the SAMI Galaxy Survey

https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.18654 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.18654 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.18654
arXiv:2607.18654v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The spin parameter $\lambda_{\rm{R_e}}$ is a proxy for the specific stellar angular momentum of galaxies and is a useful metric for classifying kinematic morphology. This study aims to quantify the relative importance of galaxy properties in explaining $\lambda_{\rm{R_e}}$, using data from the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral-field spectrograph (SAMI) Galaxy Survey. We apply partial correlation analysis and partial least squares regression to assess the relative contributions of different parameters in explaining $\lambda_{\rm{R_e}}$. We find that morphology indicators, bulge-to-total ratio within one effective radius ($B/T_\rm{e}$) and ellipticity ($\varepsilon_\rm{e}$), show the strongest correlations with $\lambda_{\rm{R_e}}$ and play a leading role in the regression analysis. This result statistically confirms the established fast-rotator sequence, in which fast-rotating early-type galaxies form a continuous structural and kinematic sequence with spiral galaxies, with $\lambda_{\rm{R_e}}$ decreasing as bulge prominence increases. The light-weighted age and stellar mass also exhibit significant correlations, but their contributions are secondary to the morphology indicators in multivariate analyses. We also examine whether the observed trends in $\lambda_{\rm{R_e}}$ can be reproduced using galaxy properties alone. The morphology indicators (${B/T_\rm{e}}$, $\varepsilon_\rm{e}$) reproduce the overall distribution of observed $\lambda_{\rm{R_e}}$ with a scatter of about 0.12, while the inclusion of Age_LW and $M_\star$ provides only modest additional improvement. However, these relations do not reproduce the slow-rotator regime well. Overall, our results show that photometric structural parameters best explain $\lambda_{\rm{R_e}}$ and suggest that statistical inference of galaxy spin from non-IFS observables may become feasible with improved models and a broader set of parameters.

Great Barrier Reef drilling reveals repeated collapse, regrowth and migration since last ice age
An international expedition including University of Sydney researchers has pieced together the clearest picture yet of how the Great Barrier Reef responded to dramatic environmental change over the past 30,000 years. Multiple studies since the expedition more than 10 years ago have traced the reef's retreat, regrowth and repeated collapse from the last ice age to the dawn of the modern reef.
