Infrared color selection of massive galaxies at z > 3
T. Wang, D. Elbaz, C. Schreiber +29
We introduce a new color-selection technique to identify high-redshift, massive galaxies that are systematically missed by Lyman-break selection. The new selection is based on the…
SDSS J0159+0105: A Radio-Quiet Quasar with a Centi-Parsec Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidate
Zhen-Ya Zheng, Nathaniel R. Butler, Yue Shen +4
We report a candidate centi-parsec supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) in the radio-quiet quasar SDSS J0159+0105 at z=0.217. With a modified lomb-scargle code GLSdeDRW and the a…
Evidence for the rapid formation of low mass early-type galaxies in dense environments
Yiqing Liu, Eric W. Peng, John Blakeslee +6
We explore the environmental dependence of star formation timescales in low mass galaxies using the [/Fe] abundance ratio as an evolutionary clock. We present integrated [/Fe…
Unveiling a Rich System of Faint Dwarf Galaxies in the Next Generation Fornax Survey
Roberto P. Munoz, Paul Eigenthaler, Thomas H. Puzia +18
We report the discovery of 158 previously undetected dwarf galaxies in the Fornax cluster central regions using a deep coadded and -band image obtained with the DECam wid…
The Most Massive Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster
Chengze Liu, Eric W. Peng, Elisa Toloba +15
We report on the properties of the most massive ultra-compact dwarf galaxy (UCD) in the nearby Virgo Cluster of galaxies using imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. X. Properties of Ultra-Compact Dwarfs in the M87, M49 and M60 Regions
Chengze Liu, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Cote +18
We use imaging from the Next Generation Virgo cluster Survey (NGVS) to present a comparative study of ultra-compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies associated with three prominent Virgo sub-c…
An Extreme Starburst in Close Proximity to the Central Galaxy of a Rich Galaxy Cluster at z=1.7
Tracy Webb, Allison Noble, Andrew DeGroot +19
We have discovered an optically rich galaxy cluster at z=1.7089 with star formation occurring in close proximity to the central galaxy. The system, SpARCS104922.6+564032.5, was det…
Photometry of Variable Stars from THU-NAOC Transient Survey I: The First 2 Years
Xinyu Yao, Lingzhi Wang, Xiaofeng Wang +9
In this paper, we report the detections of stellar variabilities from the first 2-year observations of sky area of about 1300 square degrees from the Tsinghua University-NAOC Trans…
Green Pea Galaxies Reveal Secrets of Ly Escape
Huan Yang, Sangeeta Malhotra, Max Gronke +5
We analyze archival Ly spectra of 12 "Green Pea" galaxies observed with the Hubble Space Telescope, model their Ly profiles with radiative transfer models, and explore the de…
A Megacam Survey of Outer Halo Satellites. IV. Two foreground populations possibly associated with the Monoceros substructure in the direction of NGC2419 and Koposov2
Julio A. Carballo-Bello, Ricardo R. Munoz, Jeffrey L. Carlin +4
The origin of the Galactic halo stellar structure known as the Monoceros ring is still under debate. In this work, we study that halo substructure using deep CFHT wide-field photom…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. VI. The Kinematics of Ultra-compact Dwarfs and Globular Clusters in M87
Hong-Xin Zhang, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Cote +19
The origin of ultra-compact dwarfs (UCDs)--objects larger and more massive than typical globular clusters (GCs), but more compact than typical dwarf galaxies--has been hotly debate…
