The Hubble–Reynolds law models the surface brightness of elliptical galaxies as

I(R)={\frac {I_{0}}{(1+R/R_{H})^{2}}}

Where $I(R)$ is the surface brightness at radius $R$ , $I_{0}$ is the central brightness, and $R_{H}$ is the radius at which the surface brightness is diminished by a factor of 1/4. It is asymptotically similar to the De Vaucouleurs' law which is a special case of the Sersic profile for elliptical galaxies.^[1]

The law is named for the astronomers Edwin Hubble and John Henry Reynolds. It was first formulated by Reynolds in 1913^[2] from his observations of galaxies (then still known as nebulae). It was later re-derived by Hubble in 1930^[3] specifically in observations of elliptical galaxies.

Ghosts and spirits in Māori culture

A phantom canoe was believed to have been seen by tourists at Lake Tarawera eleven days before Mount Tarawera erupted in 1886. The topic of ghosts and spirits (kehua) in Māori culture is often considered a tapu subject, yet many Māori legends contain mentions of apparitions and paranormal occurrences. It is claimed that long deceased family members may appear to warn of upcoming danger, such as with the famous phantom canoe in 1886 that many reportedly saw on Lake Tarawera, that is believe...
