Extended Light in E/S0 Galaxies and Implications for Disk Rebirth
Amanda J. Moffett, Sheila J. Kannappan, Seppo Laine +3
The recent discovery of extended ultraviolet (XUV) disks around a large fraction of late-type galaxies provides evidence for unexpectedly large-scale disk building at recent epochs…
Kinematics and Metallicities in the Bootes III Stellar Overdensity: a Disrupted Dwarf Galaxy?
Jeffrey L. Carlin, Carl J. Grillmair, Ricardo R. Munoz +2
We report the results of a spectroscopic study of the Bootes III (BooIII) stellar overdensity carried out with the Hectospec multifiber spectrograph on the MMT telescope. Radial ve…
Re-analysis of the radio luminosity function of Galactic HII regions
R. Paladini, G. de Zotti, A. Noriega-Crespo +1
We have re-analyzed continuum and recombination lines radio data available in the literature in order to derive the luminosity function (LF) of Galactic HII regions. The study is p…

Dara Norman, CSMA, NSHP +30
In order to attract, recruit and retain underrepresented minority students to pursue Astronomy and related fields, we must ensure that there continues to be a well qualified pool o…
Increasing the Number of Underrepresented Minorities in Astronomy at the Undergraduate, Graduate, and Postdoctoral Levels (Paper I)
Dara Norman, CSMA, NSHP +30
If the ethnic makeup of the astronomy profession is to achieve parity with the general population within one generation (~30 years), the number of underrepresented minorities earni…
Increasing the Number of Underrepresented Minorities in Astronomy: Executive Summary
Dara Norman, CSMA, NSHP +30
Promoting racial and ethnic diversity is critically important to the future success and growth of the field of astronomy. The raw ability, drive and interest required to excel in t…
