The KMOS AGN Survey at High redshift (KASHz): the prevalence and drivers of ionised outflows in the host galaxies of X-ray AGN

C. M. Harrison, D. M. Alexander, J. R. Mullaney +7

We present the first results from the KMOS AGN Survey at High redshift (KASHz), a VLT/KMOS integral-field spectroscopic survey of z>0.6 AGN. We present galaxy-integrated spectra of…

Non-linearity and environmental dependence of the star forming galaxies Main Sequence

G. Erfanianfar, P. Popesso, A. Finoguenov +30

Using data from four deep fields (COSMOS, AEGIS, ECDFS, and CDFN), we study the correlation between the position of galaxies in the star formation rate (SFR) versus stellar mass pl…

Hot Dust Obscured Galaxies with Excess Blue Light: Dual AGN or Single AGN Under Extreme Conditions?

R. J. Assef, D. J. Walton, M. Brightman +10

Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxies (Hot DOGs) are a population of hyper-luminous infrared galaxies identified by the WISE mission from their very red mid-IR colors, and characterized by ho…

Young Galaxy Candidates in the Hubble Frontier Fields. II. MACS,J0416-2403

Leopoldo Infante, Wei Zheng, Nicolas Laporte +14

We searched for z > 7 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) in the optical-to-mid-infrared Hubble Frontier Field and associated parallel field observations of the strong-lensing cluster MACS…

New Ultraviolet Extinction Curves for Interstellar Dust in M31

Geoffrey C. Clayton, Karl D. Gordon, Luciana C. Bianchi +4

New low-resolution UV spectra of a sample of reddened OB stars in M31 were obtained with HST/STIS to study the wavelength dependence of interstellar extinction and the nature of th…

A NuSTAR Survey of Nearby Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies

Stacy H. Teng, Jane R. Rigby, Daniel Stern +17

We present a NuSTAR, Chandra, and XMM--Newton survey of nine of the nearest ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). The unprecedented sensitivity of NuSTAR at energies above 10 k…

The XMM deep survey in the CDF-S. IX. An X-ray outflow in a luminous obscured quasar at z~1.6

C. Vignali, K. Iwasawa, A. Comastri +13

In active galactic nuclei (AGN)-galaxy co-evolution models, AGN winds and outflows are often invoked to explain why super-massive black holes and galaxies stop growing efficiently…

Outflows and Bubbles in Taurus: Star-formation Feedback Sufficient to Maintain Turbulence

Huixian Li, Di Li, Lei Qian +6

We have identified outflows and bubbles in the Taurus molecular cloud based on the deg Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory CO(1-0) and CO(1-0) map…

A New Method for Constraining Molecular Cloud Thickness: A study of Taurus, Perseus and Ophiuchus

Lei Qian, Di Li, Stella Offner +1

The core velocity dispersion (CVD) is a potentially useful tool for studying the turbulent velocity field of molecular clouds. CVD is based on centroid velocities of dense gas clum…

Young Stellar Objects in the Gould Belt

Michael M. Dunham, Lori E. Allen, Neal J. Evans +14

We present the full catalog of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) identified in the 18 molecular clouds surveyed by the Spitzer Space Telescope "cores to disks" (c2d) and "Gould Belt" (G…

Oscillating red giants observed during Campaign 1 of the Kepler K2 mission: New prospects for galactic archaeology

D. Stello, D. Huber, S. Sharma +21

NASA's re-purposed Kepler mission -- dubbed K2 -- has brought new scientific opportunities that were not anticipated for the original Kepler mission. One science goal that makes op…
