A Wide-Field Study of the z~0.8 Cluster RX J0152.7-1357: the Role of Environment in the Formation of the Red-Sequence

Shannon G. Patel, Daniel D. Kelson, Bradford P. Holden +4

[ABRIDGED] We present the first results from the largest spectroscopic survey to date of an intermediate redshift galaxy cluster, the z=0.834 cluster RX J0152.7-1357. We use the co…

High Albedos of Low Inclination Classical Kuiper Belt Objects

M. J. Brucker, W. M. Grundy, J. A. Stansberry +4

We present observations of thermal emission from fifteen transneptunian objects (TNOs) made using the Spitzer Space Telescope. Thirteen of the targets are members of the Classical…

Abell 851 and the Role of Starbursts in Cluster Galaxy Evolution

A. Oemler, A. Dressler, D. Kelson +5

We use extensive new observations of the very rich z ~ 0.4 cluster of galaxies A851 to examine the nature and origin of starburst galaxies in intermediate-redshift clusters. New HS…

Analytical Solutions for Radiative Transfer: Implications for Giant Planet Formation by Disk Instability

Alan P. Boss

The disk instability mechanism for giant planet formation is based on the formation of clumps in a marginally-gravitationally unstable protoplanetary disk, which must lose thermal…

WINGS-SPE Spectroscopy in the WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey

A. Cava, D. Bettoni, B. M. Poggianti +11

Aims. We present the results from a comprehensive spectroscopic survey of the WINGS (WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey) clusters, a program called WINGS-SPE. The WINGS-SPE sa…
