The VIRUS-P Exploration of Nearby Galaxies (VENGA): The Xco Gradient in NGC 628

Guillermo A. Blanc, Andreas Schruba, Neal J. Evans +13

We measure the radial profile of the 12CO(1-0) to H_2 conversion factor (Xco) in NGC 628. The Hαemission from the VENGA integral field spectroscopy is used to map the star formatio…

X-ray Properties of Intermediate-mass Black Holes in Active Galaxies. III. Spectral Energy Distribution and Possible Evidence for Intrinsically X-ray-weak AGNs

Ruobing Dong, Jenny E. Greene, Luis C. Ho

We present a systematic X-ray study, the third in a series, of 49 active galactic nuclei with intermediate-mass black holes (IMBH; ~10^5-10^6 M_sun) using Chandra observations. We…

Early-stage young stellar objects in the Small Magellanic Cloud

J. M. Oliveira, J. Th. van Loon, G. C. Sloan +12

We present new observations of 34 YSO candidates in the SMC. The anchor of the analysis is a set of Spitzer-IRS spectra, supplemented by groundbased 3-5 micron spectra, Spitzer and…

A Quasar-Galaxy Mixing Diagram: Quasar Spectral Energy Distribution Shapes in the Optical to Near-Infrared

Heng Hao, Martin Elvis, Angela Bongiorno +19

We define a quasar-galaxy mixing diagram using the slopes of their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from 1μm to 3000Å and from 1μm to 3μm in the rest frame. The mixing diagram…

Spectral Energy Distributions of Type 1 AGN in XMM-COSMOS Survey II - Shape Evolution

Heng Hao, Martin Elvis, Francesca Civano +18

The mid-infrared to ultraviolet (0.1 -- 10 ) spectral energy distribution (SED) shapes of 407 X-ray-selected radio-quiet type 1 AGN in the wide-field ``Cosmic Evolution Survey"…

The Carnegie Hubble Program: The Leavitt Law at 3.6 and 4.5 micron in the Milky Way

Andrew J. Monson, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +4

The Carnegie Hubble Program (CHP) is designed to calibrate the extragalactic distance scale using data from the post-cryogenic era of the Spitzer Space Telescope. The ultimate goal…
