New NIR light-curve templates for classical Cepheids
L. Inno, N. Matsunaga, M. Romaniello +22
We present new near-infrared (NIR) light-curve templates for fundamental (FU, JHK) and first overtone (FO, J) Cepheids. The new templates together with PL and PW relations provide…
ZFOURGE/CANDELS: On the Evolution of M* Galaxy Progenitors from z=3 to 0.5
Casey Papovich, I. Labbé, R. Quadri +38
Galaxies with stellar masses near M* contain the majority of stellar mass in the universe, and are therefore of special interest in the study of galaxy evolution. The Milky Way (MW…
A Dual Narrowband Survey for Hα Emitters at z=2.2: Demonstration of the Technique and Constraints on the Hα Luminosity Function
Janice C. Lee, C. Ly, L. Spitler +7
We present first results from a narrowband imaging program for intermediate redshift emission-line galaxies using the newly commissioned FourStar infrared camera at the 6.5m Magell…
The Palomar twilight survey of 'Ayló'chaxnim, Atiras, and comets
B. T. Bolin, F. J. Masci, M. W. Coughlin +29
Near-sun sky twilight observations allow for the detection of asteroid interior to the orbit of Venus (Aylos), the Earth (Atiras), and comets. We present the results of observation…
The Cluster Ages Experiment (CASE). VIII. Age and Distance of the Globular Cluster 47 Tuc from the Analysis of Two Detached Eclipsing Binaries
I. B. Thompson, A. Udalski, A. Dotter +20
We use photometric and spectroscopic observations of the eclipsing binary E32 in the globular cluster 47 Tuc to derive the masses, radii, and luminosities of the component stars. T…
On the distance of the globular cluster M4 (NGC 6121) using RR Lyrae stars: II. Mid-infrared period-luminosity relations
J. R. Neeley, M. Marengo, G. Bono +12
New mid-infrared period-luminosity (PL) relations are presented for \rrl{} variables in the globular cluster M4 (NGC 6121). Accurate photometry was obtained for 37 \rrl{} variables…
