Evidence for the Accretion of Gas in Star-Forming Galaxies: High N/O Abundances in Regions of Anomalously-Low Metallicity

Yuanze Luo, Timothy Heckman, Hsiang-Chih Hwang +11

While all models for the evolution of galaxies require the accretion of gas to sustain their growth via on-going star formation, it has proven difficult to directly detect this inf…

Determining star-formation rates in Active Galactic Nuclei hosts via stellar population synthesis

Rogério Riffel, Nicolas D. Mallmann, Gabriele S. Ilha +10

The effect of active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback on the host galaxy, and its role in quenching or enhancing star-formation, is still uncertain due to the fact that usual star-fo…

Pushing automated morphological classifications to their limits with the Dark Energy Survey

J. Vega-Ferrero, H. Domínguez Sánchez, M. Bernardi +60

We present morphological classifications of 27 million galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Data Release 1 (DR1) using a supervised deep learning algorithm. The classif…

A machine learning approach to galaxy properties: joint redshift-stellar mass probability distributions with Random Forest

S. Mucesh, W. G. Hartley, A. Palmese +72

We demonstrate that highly accurate joint redshift-stellar mass probability distribution functions (PDFs) can be obtained using the Random Forest (RF) machine learning (ML) algorit…

Identifying RR Lyrae Variable Stars in Six Years of the Dark Energy Survey

K. M. Stringer, A. Drlica-Wagner, L. Macri +67

We present a search for RR Lyrae stars using the full six-year data set from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) covering ~5,000 sq. deg. of the southern sky. Using a multi-stage multi-va…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. XII. Broad-Line Region Modeling of NGC 5548

P. R. Williams, A. Pancoast, T. Treu +155

We present geometric and dynamical modeling of the broad line region for the multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign focused on NGC 5548 in 2014. The dataset includes photo…
