Signals embedded in the radial velocity noise. Periodic variations in the tau Ceti velocities
Mikko Tuomi, Hugh R. A. Jones, James S. Jenkins +12
The abilities of radial velocity exoplanet surveys to detect the lowest-mass extra-solar planets are currently limited by a combination of instrument precision, lack of data, and "…
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…

Motivated by recent developments in our understanding of the formation and evolution of massive galaxies, we explore the detailed photometric structure of a representative sample o…
Cosmological Evolution of Supermassive Black Holes: Mass Functions and Spins
Yan-Rong Li, Jian-Min Wang, Luis C. Ho
We derive the mass function of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) over the redshift range 0<z<2, using the latest deep luminosity and mass functions of field galaxies. Applying this…
Intragroup and Galaxy-Linked Diffuse X-ray Emission in Hickson Compact Groups
Tyler D. Desjardins, Sarah C. Gallagher, Panayiotis Tzanavaris +9
Isolated compact groups of galaxies (CGs) present a range of dynamical states, group velocity dispersions, and galaxy morphologies with which to study galaxy evolution, particularl…
Type Iax Supernovae: A New Class of Stellar Explosion
Ryan J. Foley, P. J. Challis, R. Chornock +19
We describe observed properties of the Type Iax class of supernovae (SNe Iax), consisting of SNe observationally similar to its prototypical member, SN 2002cx. The class currently…
What determines the sizes of red early-type galaxies?
Joon Hyeop Lee, Minjin Kim, Chang Hee Ree +7
The sizes of galaxies are known to be closely related with their masses, luminosities, redshifts and morphologies. However, when we fix these quantities and morphology, we still fi…
CLASH: Three Strongly Lensed Images of a Candidate z ~ 11 Galaxy
Dan Coe, Adi Zitrin, Mauricio Carrasco +20
We present a candidate for the most distant galaxy known to date with a photometric redshift z = 10.7 +0.6 / -0.4 (95% confidence limits; with z < 9.5 galaxies of known types ruled…
Distance and Kinematics of the TW Hydrae Association from Parallaxes
Alycia J. Weinberger, Guillem Anglada-Escudé, Alan P. Boss
From common proper motion and signatures of youth, researchers have identified about 30 members of a putative TW Hydrae Association. Only four of these had parallactic distances fr…
Habitable-zone super-Earth candidate in a six-planet system around the K2.5V star HD 40307
Mikko Tuomi, Guillem Anglada-Escude, Enrico Gerlach +5
The K2.5 dwarf HD 40307 has been reported to host three super-Earths. The system lacks massive planets and is therefore a potential candidate for having additional low-mass planeta…
Exploring the NRO Opportunity for a Hubble-sized Wide-field Near-IR Space Telescope -- NEW WFIRST
Alan Dressler, David Spergel, Matt Mountain +24
We discuss scientific, technical and programmatic issues related to the use of an NRO 2.4m telescope for the WFIRST initiative of the 2010 Decadal Survey. We show that this impleme…
High-pressure effects on single crystals electron-doped rCeCuO
C. R. Rotundu, V. V. Struzhkin, M. S. Somayazulu +3
We present high pressure diamond anvil cell synchrotron X-ray, resistivity, and ac-susceptibility measurements on electron-doped cuprate PrCeCuO to much higher…
A Census of Star-Forming Galaxies in the z~9-10 Universe based on HST+Spitzer Observations Over 19 CLASH clusters: Three Candidate z~9-10 Galaxies and Improved Constraints on the Star Formation Rate Density at z~9
R. Bouwens, L. Bradley, A. Zitrin +34
We utilise a two-color Lyman-Break selection criterion to search for z~9-10 galaxies over the first 19 clusters in the CLASH program. A systematic search yields three z~9-10 candid…
