We present a reverberation mapping (RM) experiment that combines broad- and intermediate-band photometry; it is the first such attempt targeting a sample of 13 quasars at $0.2<z<0.…
Pan-Planets: Searching for hot Jupiters around cool dwarfs
C. Obermeier, J. Koppenhoefer, R. P. Saglia +18
The Pan-Planets survey observed an area of 42 sq deg. in the galactic disk for about 165 hours. The main scientific goal of the project is the detection of transiting planets aroun…
Evidence of Fanning in the Ophiuchus Stream
B. Sesar, A. M. Price-Whelan, J. G. Cohen +11
The Ophiuchus stellar stream presents a dynamical puzzle: its old stellar populations ( Gyr) cannot be reconciled with (1) its orbit in a simple model for the Milky Way po…
Satellite accretion in action: a tidally disrupting dwarf spheroidal around the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 253
Aaron J. Romanowsky, D. Martinez-Delgado, Nicolas F. Martin +7
We report the discovery of NGC 253-dw2, a dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy candidate undergoing tidal disruption around a nearby spiral galaxy, NGC 253 in the Sculptor group: the fir…
Absence of Significant Cool Disks in Young Stellar Objects Exhibiting Repetitive Optical Outbursts
Hauyu Baobab Liu, Roberto Galván-Madrid, Eduard I. Vorobyov +10
We report Submillimeter Array (SMA) 1.3 mm high angular resolution observations towards the four EXor type outbursting young stellar objects (YSOs) VY Tau, V1118 Ori, V1143 Ori, an…
Orbits in the T Tauri triple system observed with SPHERE
R. Köhler, M. Kasper, T. M. Herbst +2
We present new astrometric measurements of the components in the T Tauri system, and derive new orbits and masses. T Tauri was observed during the science verification time of the…
A multi-wavelength analysis for interferometric (sub-)mm observations of protoplanetary disks: radial constraints on the dust properties and the disk structure
M. Tazzari, L. Testi, B. Ercolano +20
Theoretical models of grain growth predict dust properties to change as a function of protoplanetary disk radius, mass, age and other physical conditions. We lay down the methodolo…
Detection of Sharp Symmetric Features in the Circumbinary Disk Around AK Sco
Markus Janson, Christian Thalmann, Anthony Boccaletti +11
The Search for Planets Orbiting Two Stars (SPOTS) survey aims to study the formation and distribution of planets in binary systems by detecting and characterizing circumbinary plan…
The circum-galactic medium of quasars: CIV absorption systems
M. Landoni, R. Falomo, A. Treves +2
We investigate the properties of the circumgalactic gas in the halo of quasar host galaxies from CIV absorption line systems. Optical spectroscopy of closely aligned pairs of quasa…
APOGEE Kinematics I: Overview of the Kinematics of the Galactic Bulge as Mapped by APOGEE
M. Ness, G. Zasowski, J. A. Johnson +12
We present the stellar kinematics across the Galactic bulge and into the disk at positive longitudes from the SDSS-III APOGEE spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way. APOGEE includes…
Mid-J CO shock tracing observations of infrared dark clouds II Low-J CO constraints on excitation, depletion, and kinematics
A. Pon, D. Johnstone, P. Caselli +6
Infrared dark clouds are kinematically complex molecular structures in the interstellar medium that can host sites of massive star formation. We present 4 square arcminute maps of…
Origin of the Metallicity Distribution in the Thick Disc
Maider S. Miranda, Kate Pilkington, Brad K. Gibson +9
Aims. Using a suite of cosmological chemodynamical disc galaxy simulations, we assess how (a) radial metallicity gradients evolve with scaleheight; (b) the vertical metallicity gra…
Properties of Resonantly Produced Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter Subhalos
Shunsaku Horiuchi, Brandon Bozek, Kevork N. Abazajian +4
The anomalous 3.55 keV X-ray line recently detected towards a number of massive dark matter objects may be interpreted as the radiative decays of 7.1 keV mass sterile neutrino dark…
The first Galaxy scale hunt for the youngest high-mass protostars
T. Csengeri, S. Bontemps, F. Wyrowski +17
The origin of massive stars is a fundamental open issue in modern astrophysics. Pre-ALMA interferometric studies reveal precursors to early B to late O type stars with collapsing e…
