The LF of TP-AGB stars in the LMC and SMC
Gustavo Bruzual, Stephane Charlot, Rosa Gonzalez Lopezlira +3
We show that Montecarlo simulations of the TP-AGB stellar population in the LMC and SMC galaxies using the CB* models produce LF and color distributions that are in closer agreemen…

Meridional tilt of the stellar velocity ellipsoid during bar buckling instability
Kanak Saha, Daniel Pfenniger, Ronald E. Taam
The structure and evolution of the stellar velocity ellipsoid plays an important role in shaping galaxies undergoing bar driven secular evolution and the eventual formation of a bo…
Stellar dust production and composition in the Magellanic Clouds
F. Kemper
The dust reservoir in the interstellar medium of a galaxy is constantly being replenished by dust formed in the stellar winds of evolved stars. Due to their vicinity, nearby irregu…
CLASH: The enhanced lensing efficiency of the highly elongated merging cluster MACS J0416.1-2403
A. Zitrin, M. Meneghetti, K. Umetsu +21
We perform a strong-lensing analysis of the merging galaxy cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 (M0416; z=0.42) in recent CLASH/HST observations. We identify 70 new multiple images and candid…
Properties of free-free, dust, and CO emissions in the starbursts of blue compact dwarf galaxies
Hiroyuki Hirashita
The central star-forming regions in three blue compact dwarf galaxies (He 2-10, NGC 5253, and II Zw 40) were observed in the 340 GHz (880 micron) band at 5 arcsec resolution with t…
High Frequency VLBI Rotation Measure of 8 AGN
J. C. Algaba
We have studied Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) polarimetric observations of 8 sources including quasars and BL Lacs at 12, 15, 22, 24 and 43 GHz and high frequency rotation measur…
Effects of H2 coating of grains on depletion of molecular species
Oscar Morata, Tatsuhiko I. Hasegawa
Physical conditions in dense and cold regions of interstellar clouds favour the formation of ice mantles on the surfaces of interstellar grains. It is predicted that most of the ga…
CFHTLenS tomographic weak lensing: Quantifying accurate redshift distributions
Jonathan Benjamin, Ludovic Van Waerbeke, Catherine Heymans +18
The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) comprises deep multi-colour (u*g'r'i'z') photometry spanning 154 square degrees, with accurate photometric redshifts an…
Spiral Arms in the Asymmetrically Illuminated Disk of MWC 758 and Constraints on Giant Planets
C. A. Grady, T. Muto, J. Hashimoto +71
We present the first near-IR scattered light detection of the transitional disk associated with the Herbig Ae star MWC 758 using data obtained as part of the Strategic Exploration…
Dust continuum and Polarization from Envelope to Cores in Star Formation: A Case Study in the W51 North region
Ya-Wen Tang, Paul T. P. Ho, Patrick M. Koch +2
We present the first high-angular resolution (up to 0.7", ~5000 AU) polarization and thermal dust continuum images toward the massive star-forming region W51 North. The observation…
CFHTLenS: Testing the Laws of Gravity with Tomographic Weak Lensing and Redshift Space Distortions
Fergus Simpson, Catherine Heymans, David Parkinson +20
Dark energy may be the first sign of new fundamental physics in the Universe, taking either a physical form or revealing a correction to Einsteinian gravity. Weak gravitational len…
Hierarchical Fragmentation of the Orion Molecular Filaments
Satoko Takahashi, Paul T. P. Ho, Paula S. Teixeira +2
We present a high angular resolution map of 850 um continuum emission of the Orion Molecular Cloud-3 (OMC 3) obtained with the Submillimeter Array (SMA); the map is a mosaic of 85…
Chemistry in Disks VIII: the CS molecule as an analytic tracer of turbulence in disks
S. Guilloteau, A. Dutrey, V. Wakelam +5
Turbulence is thought to be a key driver of the evolution of protoplanetary disks, regulating the mass accretion process, the transport of angular momentum, and the growth of dust…
ALMA and VLA observations of the outflows in IRAS 16293-2422
Laurent Loinard, Luis A. Zapata, Luis F. Rodriguez +10
We present ALMA and VLA observations of the molecular and ionized gas at 0.1-0.3 arcsec resolution in the Class 0 protostellar system IRAS 16293-2422. These data clarify the origin…
The Dependence of Quenching upon the Inner Structure of Galaxies at 0.5<z< 0.8 in the DEEP2/AEGIS Survey
Edmond Cheung, S. M. Faber, David C. Koo +25
The shutdown of star formation in galaxies is generally termed `quenching'. Although quenching may occur through a variety of processes, the exact mechanism(s) that is in fact resp…
