2014
BMC Ophthalmology
The objective of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of the Argus® II Retinal Prosthesis System (Argus II) in Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) patients. ...
Second Sight Medical Products Inc. developed Argus II, a retinal prosthesis system for treating RP. ...
Markov model for the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System begins at the age of 46 years as most of the RP patients are legally blind by this age. ...

Tidal disruption event discs are larger than they seem: removing systematic biases in TDE X-ray spectral modelling
2021
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters
The physical sizes of TDE accretion discs are regularly inferred, from modelling of the TDEs X-ray spectrum as a single temperature blackbody, to be smaller than the plausible event horizons of the black ...
We further demonstrate that the disc-observer inclination angle and absorption of X-ray photons may both lead to additional underestimation of the radial sizes of TDE discs, but by smaller factors. ...
The distribution of R bb is plotted in blue, and Rp in red. The ISCO radius of each disc system is represented by a black dashed line. ...

Planet seeding through gas-assisted capture of interstellar objects
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
Here we show that ∼10^4 interstellar objects such as the recently detected 1I/2017-U1 ('Oumuamua) could have been captured, and become part of the young Solar System, together with up to hundreds of ∼ ...
Planet formation begins with collisional growth of small planetesimals accumulating into larger ones. Such growth occurs while planetesimals are embedded in a gaseous protoplanetary disc. ...

OUP accepted manuscript
2019
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Inward migration of low-mass planets and embryos of giant planets can be stopped at the disc-cavity boundaries due to co-orbital corotation torque. ...
A protoplanetary disc may have several such trapping regions at various distances from the star, such as at the edge of the stellar magnetosphere, the inner edge of the dead zone, the dust-sublimation ...
For comparisons with our model, we take the value of softening = 0.025, used in our model, and obtain b = /rp = 0.025/rp ≈ 0.0167 (at rp = 1.5) andb = 0.4/(b/h) ≈ 0.72. ...

Ram pressure stripping in a galaxy formation model - I. A novel numerical approach
2010
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
We develop a new numerical approach to describe the action of ram pressure stripping (RPS) within a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation and evolution which works in combination with non-radiative hydrodynamical ...
This allows a self-consistent estimation of the RPS experienced by satellite galaxies. ...
Bottom: relation between disc scalelength R d and I-band luminosity for disc galaxies, for a run of the SAG model that includes the RPS effect. ...

Exploring formation scenarios for the exomoon candidate Kepler 1625b I

2020
arXiv
pre-print
To do so, we performed N-body simulations to reproduce the late phases of satellite formation and use a massive circum-planetary disc to explain the mass of this satellite. ...
In our simulations of satellite formation many satellites were formed close to the planet, this scenario changed after the tidal evolution of the systems. ...
In Section 2, we detail our models, explain the parameters used and study the stability of the system. ...

Quenching of satellite galaxies at the outskirts of galaxy clusters
2018
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Using a simple analytic model for satellite galaxies in the cluster, we evaluate the effect of ram pressure stripping on the gas in the inner discs and in the haloes at different distances from the cluster ...
This scenario explains the presence of quenched galaxies, preferentially discs, at the outskirts of galaxy clusters, and the delayed quenching of satellites compared to central galaxies. ...

Existing approaches to the modelling of RPS delays do not seem to include a simple and reasonably accurate analysis of realistic configurations. ...
Depending on the con- figuration, the resulting missed reconnection (or RPS) delay is a potentially important load-dependent compon- ent of the disc service time. ...
