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…

Reverberation Mapping Results for Five Seyfert 1 Galaxies

C. J. Grier, B. M. Peterson, R. W. Pogge +40

We present the results from a detailed analysis of photometric and spectrophotometric data on five Seyfert 1 galaxies observed as a part of a recent reverberation mapping program.…

Further evidence for large central mass-to-light ratios in early-type galaxies: the case of ellipticals and lenticulars in the Abell~262 cluster

G. A. Wegner, E. M. Corsini, J. Thomas +3

We present radially resolved spectroscopy of 8 early-type galaxies in Abell~262, measuring rotation, velocity dispersion, and coefficients along three axes, and line-st…

Berkeley Supernova Ia Program I: Observations, Data Reduction, and Spectroscopic Sample of 582 Low-Redshift Type Ia Supernovae

Jeffrey M. Silverman, Ryan J. Foley, Alexei V. Filippenko +37

In this first paper in a series we present 1298 low-redshift (z\leq0.2) optical spectra of 582 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed from 1989 through 2008 as part of the Berkeley S…
