Planet-driven spiral arms in protoplanetary disks: I. Formation mechanism
Jaehan Bae, Zhaohuan Zhu
Protoplanetary disk simulations show that a single planet can excite more than one spiral arm, possibly explaining recent observations of multiple spiral arms in some systems. In t…
Discovery of a Possible Early-T Thick-Disk Subdwarf from the AllWISE2 Motion Survey
Kendra Kellogg, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Stanimir Metchev +2
We have discovered a potential T0 1 subdwarf from a search for sources in the AllWISE2 Motion Survey that do not have counterparts in surveys at shorter wavelengths. With a t…
Spin Quenching Assisted by a Strongly Anisotropic Compression Behavior in MnP
Fei Han, Di Wang, Yonggang Wang +12
We studied the crystal structure and spin state of MnP under high pressure with synchrotron X-ray diffraction and X-ray emission spectroscopy. MnP has an exceedingly strong anisotr…
A Model for the Onset of Self-gravitation and Star Formation in Molecular Gas Governed by Galactic Forces: I. Cloud-scale Gas Motions
Sharon E. Meidt, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +10
Modern extragalactic molecular gas surveys now reach the scales of star-forming giant molecular clouds (GMCs, 20-50 pc). Systematic variations in GMC properties with galaxy environ…
2MASS J11151597+1937266: A Young, Dusty, Isolated, Planetary-Mass Object with a Potential Wide Stellar Companion
Christopher A. Theissen, Adam J. Burgasser, Daniella C. Bardalez Gagliuffi +4
We present 2MASS J11151597+1937266, a recently identified low-surface gravity L dwarf, classified as an L2 based on Sloan Digital Sky Survey optical spectroscopy. We confirm thi…
The origin of the diverse morphologies and kinematics of Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE-2 simulations
Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Philip F. Hopkins, Andrew Wetzel +11
We use hydrodynamic cosmological zoom-in simulations from the FIRE project to explore the morphologies and kinematics of fifteen Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies. Our sample ranges fro…
The Chemical Composition of Mercury
Larry R. Nittler, Nancy L. Chabot, Timothy L. Grove +1
The chemical composition of a planetary body reflects its starting conditions modified by numerous processes during its formation and geological evolution. Measurements by X-ray, g…
Copious Amounts of Dust and Gas in a z=7.5 Quasar Host Galaxy
Bram Venemans, Fabian Walter, Roberto Decarli +10
We present IRAM/NOEMA and JVLA observations of the quasar J1342+0928 at z=7.54 and report detections of copious amounts of dust and [CII] emission in the interstellar medium (ISM)…
Clumpy Galaxies in CANDELS. II. Physical Properties of UV-bright Clumps at
Yicheng Guo, Marc Rafelski, Eric F. Bell +20
Studying giant star-forming clumps in distant galaxies is important to understand galaxy formation and evolution. At present, however, observers and theorists have not reached a co…
Elemental Abundances of Kepler Objects of Interest in APOGEE. I. Two Distinct Orbital Period Regimes Inferred from Host Star Iron Abundances
Robert F. Wilson, Johanna Teske, Steven R. Majewski +13
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) has observed 600 transiting exoplanets and exoplanet candidates from \textit{Kepler} (Kepler Objects of In…
Cosmological Black Hole Observations and Kant's Transcendental Aesthetic
Juna A. Kollmeier
Kant put forward the notion of the Transcendental Aesthetic (TA) in his manuscript . In this note I review the TA in light of the detection…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Calibration of redMaGiC Redshift Distributions in DES and SDSS from Cross-Correlations
R. Cawthon, C. Davis, M. Gatti +88
We present calibrations of the redshift distributions of redMaGiC galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR8 data. These results det…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Galaxy Sample for BAO Measurement
M. Crocce, A. J. Ross, I. Sevilla-Noarbe +84
We define and characterise a sample of 1.3 million galaxies extracted from the first year of Dark Energy Survey data, optimised to measure Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the prese…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Measurement of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation scale in the distribution of galaxies to redshift 1
The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. M. C. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +109
We present angular diameter distance measurements obtained by locating the BAO scale in the distribution of galaxies selected from the first year of Dark Energy Survey data. We con…
Reconciling observed and simulated stellar halo masses
Robyn E. Sanderson, Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Andrew Wetzel +6
We use cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky-Way-mass galaxies from the FIRE project to evaluate various strategies for estimating the mass of a galaxy's stellar halo fr…
Group quenching and galactic conformity at low redshift
M. Treyer, K. Kraljic, S. Arnouts +13
We quantify the quenching impact of the group environment using the spectroscopic survey Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) to z=0.2. The fraction of red (quiescent) galaxies, whether…
Modeling the Impact of Baryons on Subhalo Populations with Machine Learning
Ethan O. Nadler, Yao-Yuan Mao, Risa H. Wechsler +2
We identify subhalos in dark matter-only (DMO) zoom-in simulations that are likely to be disrupted due to baryonic effects by using a random forest classifier trained on two hydrod…
