A New Look at Massive Clusters: weak lensing constraints on the triaxial dark matter halos of Abell 1689, Abell 1835, & Abell 2204

Virginia L. Corless, Lindsay J. King, Douglas Clowe

Measuring the 3D distribution of mass on galaxy cluster scales is a crucial test of the LCDM model, providing constraints on the nature of dark matter. Recent work investigating ma…

The environments of starburst and post-starburst galaxies at z=0.4-0.8

Bianca M. Poggianti, Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca, Dennis Zaritsky +16

Post-starburst (E+A or k+a) spectra, characterized by their exceptionally strong Balmer lines in absorption and the lack of emission lines, belong to galaxies in which the star for…

The Optical Variability of the Quasar 3C~279: The Signature of a Decelerating Jet?

M. Boettcher, D. Principe

A recent optical monitoring campaign on the prominent quasar 3C279 revealed a period of a remarkably clean exponential decay of BVRI fluxes with time, with a time constant of 12.8…

Results of WEBT, VLBA and RXTE monitoring of 3C 279 during 2006-2007

V. M. Larionov, S. G. Jorstad, A. P. Marscher +2

We present radio-to-optical data taken by the WEBT, supplemented by VLBA and RXTE observations, of 3C 279. Our goal is to use this extensive database to draw inferences regarding t…
