Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
The original study combines optical light curves, companion-star radial velocities, rotational broadening and a distance constraint to infer the compact object's mass. The result solar masses is the estimate from this 2011 analysis, rather than a claim about the latest mass determination.

Cold streams in early massive hot haloes as the main mode of galaxy formation by Avishai Dekel and others by
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
The study uses cosmological simulations and clustering theory to investigate cold gas supply to rapidly star-forming early galaxies. It compares stream-fed formation with observed galaxy abundance. These are model calculations informed by observations, not a direct image of every predicted gas stream.
On the Gravitational Stability of a Disk of Stars by Alar Toomre by
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
The primary calculation treats a collisionless stellar disk and obtains the critical radial velocity dispersion . A fluid disk has a related but numerically different criterion involving . The distinction matters when a fluid dispersion relation is used to approximate stellar random motion.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page. View it live at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivativeVideo 2. OurBigBook Web topics demo. Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control

You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source.
