Survey of Extremely High-velocity Outflows in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasars
Paola RodrÃguez Hidalgo, Abdul Moiz Khatri, Patrick B. Hall +5
We present a survey of extremely high-velocity outflows (EHVOs) in quasars, defined by speeds between 0.1c and 0.2c. This region of the parameter space has not been included in pre…
Line-Intensity Mapping: 2017 Status Report
Ely D. Kovetz, Marco P. Viero, Adam Lidz +45
Following the first two annual intensity mapping workshops at Stanford in March 2016 and Johns Hopkins in June 2017, we report on the recent advances in theory, instrumentation and…
Simulated Bars May Be Shorter But Are Not Slower Than Observed: TNG50 vs. MaNGA
Neige Frankel, Annalisa Pillepich, Hans-Walter Rix +6
Galactic bars are prominent dynamical structures within disk galaxies whose size, formation time, strength, and pattern speed influence the dynamical evolution of their hosts galax…
Large-Scale Parker Winds in Active Galactic Nuclei
John E. Everett, Norm Murray
We build and test Parker-wind models to apply to observations of large-scale (of order 100 pc) outflows from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). These models include detailed photoioniz…
Mapping the Outer Edge of the Young Stellar Cluster in the Galactic Center
Morten N. Støstad, Tuan Do, Norm Murray +3
We present new near-infrared spectroscopic observations of the outer edges of the young stellar cluster around the supermassive black hole at the Galactic center. The observations…
Planet Migration and Binary Companions: the case of HD 80606b
Yanqin Wu, Norm Murray
The exo-solar planet HD 80606b has a highly eccentric (e=0.93) and tight (a=0.47 AU) orbit. We study how it might arrive at such an orbit and how it has avoided being tidally circu…
