Variability in Quasar Broad Absorption Line Outflows III. What Happens on the Shortest Time-scales?

Daniel M. Capellupo, Fred Hamann, Joseph C. Shields +2

Broad absorption lines (BALs) in quasar spectra are prominent signatures of high-velocity outflows, which might be present in all quasars and could be a major contributor to feedba…

The Structure of the Broad Line Region in AGN: I. Reconstructed Velocity-Delay Maps

C. J. Grier, B. M. Peterson, Keith Horne +38

We present velocity-resolved reverberation results for five active galactic nuclei. We recovered velocity-delay maps using the maximum-entropy method for four objects: Mrk 335, Mrk…

On Dark Peaks and Missing Mass: A Weak Lensing Mass Reconstruction of the Merging Cluster System Abell 520

Douglas Clowe, Maxim Markevitch, Marusa Bradac +4

Merging clusters of galaxies are unique in their power to directly probe and place limits on the self-interaction cross-section of dark matter. Detailed observations of several mer…

Spectroscopic Confirmation of a z=6.740 Galaxy behind the Bullet Cluster

Maruša Bradač, Eros Vanzella, Nicholas Hall +7

We present the first results of our spectroscopic follow-up of 6.5 < z < 10 candidate galaxies behind clusters of galaxies. We report the spectroscopic confirmation of an intrinsic…

A filament of dark matter between two clusters of galaxies

Jörg P. Dietrich, Norbert Werner, Douglas Clowe +4

It is a firm prediction of the concordance Cold Dark Matter (CDM) cosmological model that galaxy clusters live at the intersection of large-scale structure filaments. The thread-li…
