Mass-Metallicity Relation for Local Analogs of High-Redshift galaxies: Implications for the Evolution of the Mass-Metallicity Relations
Fuyan Bian, Lisa Kewley, Michael Dopita +1
We revisit the evolution of the mass-metallicity relation of low- and high-redshift galaxies by using a sample of local analogs of high-redshift galaxies. These analogs share the s…
The Star Formation Histories of Disk Galaxies: the Live, the Dead, and the Undead
Augustus Oemler, Louis E. Abramson, Michael D. Gladders +3
We reexamine the systematic properties of local galaxy populations, using published surveys of star formation, structure, and gas content. After recalibrating star formation measur…
Globular Cluster Abundances from High-Resolution, Integrated-Light Spectroscopy. II. Expanding the Metallicity Range for Old Clusters and Updated Analysis Techniques

We present abundances of globular clusters in the Milky Way and Fornax from integrated light spectra. Our goal is to evaluate the consistency of the integrated light analysis relat…
Evidence for Reduced Specific Star Formation Rates in the Centers of Massive Galaxies at z = 4
Intae Jung, Steven L. Finkelstein, Mimi Song +11
We perform the first spatially-resolved stellar population study of galaxies in the early universe (z = 3.5 - 6.5), utilizing the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Assembly Near-infrar…
The Proper Motion of Pyxis: the first use of Adaptive Optics in tandem with HST on a faint halo object
Tobias K. Fritz, Sean T. Linden, Paul Zivick +13
We present a proper motion measurement for the halo globular cluster Pyxis, using HST/ACS data as the first epoch, and GeMS/GSAOI Adaptive Optics data as the second, separated by a…
The Nature of Massive Transition Galaxies in CANDELS, GAMA, and Cosmological Simulations
Viraj Pandya, Ryan Brennan, Rachel S. Somerville +25
We explore observational and theoretical constraints on how galaxies might transition between the "star-forming main sequence" (SFMS) and varying "degrees of quiescence" out to $z=…
The Final SDSS High-Redshift Quasar Sample of 52 Quasars at z>5.7
Linhua Jiang, Ian D. McGreer, Xiaohui Fan +14
We present the discovery of nine quasars at identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging data. This completes our survey of quasars in the SDSS footp…
The Grism lens-amplified survey from space (GLASS). VII. The diversity of the distribution of star formation in cluster and field galaxies at 0.3<z<0.7
Benedetta Vulcani, Tommaso Treu, Kasper B. Schmidt +10
Exploiting the slitless spectroscopy taken as part of the Grism Lens-Amplified Survey from Space (GLASS), we present an extended analysis of the spatial distribution of star format…
The properties of the Malin 1 galaxy giant disk: A panchromatic view from the NGVS and GUViCS surveys
S. Boissier, A. Boselli, L. Ferrarese +9
Low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) represent a significant percentage of local galaxies but their formation and evolution remain elusive. They may hold crucial information for…

Benedetta Vulcani, Tommaso Treu, Carlo Nipoti +13
Exploiting the data of the Grism Lens-Amplified Survey from Space (GLASS), we characterize the spatial distribution of star formation in 76 high star forming galaxies in 10 cluster…
Estimating distances from parallaxes. III. Distances of two million stars in the Gaia DR1 catalogue
Tri L. Astraatmadja, Coryn A. L. Bailer-Jones
We infer distances and their asymmetric uncertainties for two million stars using the parallaxes published in the Gaia DR1 (GDR1) catalogue. We do this with two distance priors: A…
