I left home at 7:30 this morning - should get to Sydney at 12:30ish. It takes nearly half the time of the Canberra to Sydney Murrays coach trip just to go from my house in suburban Canberra to Civic by public transport (2 buses) - and that's at the time of the most frequent bus services. 🤷

Re-watching S3E22 of #NCIS: The bad guy is named James “Jim” Dempsey. I felt like I had heard that name somewhere… took me a moment to recall that name appears again 20 years later, in NCIS Sydney as Jim “JD” Dempsey.
Coincidence? Or did someone decide to recycle the name?

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.
