Parallaxes of Star Forming Regions in the Outer Spiral Arm of the Milky Way

K. Hachisuka, Y. K. Choi, M. J. Reid +4

We report parallaxes and proper motions of three water maser sources in high-mass star-forming regions in the Outer Spiral Arm of the Milky Way. The observations were conducted wit…

The X-Shaped Milky Way Bulge in OGLE-III Photometry and in N-Body Models

David M. Nataf, Andrzej Udalski, Jan Skowron +11

We model the split red clump of the Galactic bulge in OGLE-III photometry, and compare the results to predictions from two N-body models. Our analysis yields precise maps of the br…

The nature of obscuration in AGN: II. insights from clustering properties

Li Shao, Cheng Li, Guinevere Kauffmann +1

Based on large optical and mid-infrared (IR) surveys, we investigate the relation between nuclear activity in local Seyfert 2 galaxies and galaxy interactions using a statistical n…

Compaction and Quenching of High-z Galaxies in Cosmological Simulations: Blue and Red Nuggets

Adi Zolotov, Avishai Dekel, Nir Mandelker +7

We use cosmological simulations to study a characteristic evolution pattern of high redshift galaxies. Early, stream-fed, highly perturbed, gas-rich discs undergo phases of dissipa…
