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…

The GALEX View of Supernova Hosts

James D. Neill, Mark Sullivan, Mark Seibert

We exploit the accumulating, high-quality, multi-wavelength imaging data of nearby supernova (SN) hosts to explore the relationship between SN production and host galaxy evolution.…

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…

HATNet Field G205: Follow-Up Observations of 28 Transiting-Planet candidates and Confirmation of the Planet HAT-P-8b

David W. Latham, Gáspár Á. Bakos, Guillermo Torres +16

We report the identification of 32 transiting-planet candidates in HATNet field G205. We describe the procedures that we have used to follow up these candidates with spectroscopic…

A Surprisingly High Pair Fraction for Extremely Massive Galaxies at z ~ 3 in the GOODS NICMOS Survey

Asa F. L. Bluck, Christopher J. Conselice, Rychard J. Bouwens +4

We calculate the major pair fraction and derive the major merger fraction and rate for 82 massive () galaxies at utilising deep HST NICMOS d…
