The Brightest Of Reionizing Galaxies Survey: Design and Preliminary Results
M. Trenti, L. D. Bradley, M. Stiavelli +7
We present the first results on the search for very bright (M_AB -21) galaxies at redshift z~8 from the Brightest of Reionizing Galaxies (BoRG) survey. BoRG is a Hubble Space Teles…
Probing the faint end of the quasar luminosity function at z ~ 4 in the COSMOS field
H. Ikeda, T. Nagao, K. Matsuoka +16
We searched for quasars that are ~ 3 mag fainter than the SDSS quasars in the redshift range 3.7 < z < 4.7 in the COSMOS field to constrain the faint end of the quasar luminosity f…
A mature cluster with X-ray emission at z=2.07
R. Gobat, E. Daddi, M. Onodera +10
We report evidence of a fully established galaxy cluster at z=2.07, consisting of a ~20sigma overdensity of red, compact spheroidal galaxies spatially coinciding with extended X-ra…
A tale of two GRB-SNe at a common redshift of z = 0.54
Z. Cano, D. Bersier, C. Guidorzi +71
We present ground-based and HST optical observations of the optical transients (OTs) of long-duration Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) 060729 and 090618, both at a redshift of z = 0.54. For…
Optical and near-infrared velocity dispersions of early-type galaxies
Joachim Vanderbeke, Maarten Baes, Aaron J. Romanowsky +1
We have carried out a systematic, homogeneous comparison of optical and near-infrared dispersions. Our magnitude-limited sample of early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster compris…
A High Signal-to-Noise Ratio Composite Spectrum of Gamma-ray Burst Afterglows
L. Christensen, J. P. U. Fynbo, J. X. Prochaska +3
We present a composite spectrum of 60 long duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows with redshifts in the range 0.35<z<6.7 observed with low resolution optical spectra. The compos…
Nonparametric Dark Energy Reconstruction from Supernova Data
Tracy Holsclaw, Ujjaini Alam, Bruno Sanso +4
Understanding the origin of the accelerated expansion of the Universe poses one of the greatest challenges in physics today. Lacking a compelling fundamental theory to test, observ…
The SIMPLE survey: observations, reduction, and catalog
M. Damen, I. Labbe, P. G. van Dokkum +11
We present the Spitzer IRAC/MUSYC Public Legacy Survey in the Extended CDF-South (SIMPLE), which consists of deep IRAC observations covering the ~1,600 arcmin^2 area surrounding GO…
Star Clusters in M31: Old Clusters with Bar Kinematics
H. Morrison, N. Caldwell, R. Schiavon +3
We analyze our accurate kinematical data for the old clusters in the inner regions of M31. These velocities are based on high S/N Hectospec data (Caldwell et al 2010). The data are…
The Origin of [OII] Emission in Recently Quenched AGN Hosts
Dale D. Kocevski, Brian C. Lemaux, Lori M. Lubin +3
We have employed emission-line diagnostics derived from DEIMOS and NIRSPEC spectroscopy to determine the origin of the [OII] emission line observed in six AGN hosts at z~0.9. These…
Statistics of Satellite Galaxies Around Milky Way-Like Hosts
Michael T. Busha, Risa H. Wechsler, Peter S. Behroozi +3
We calculate the probability that a Milky-Way-like halo in the standard cosmological model has the observed number of Magellanic Clouds (MCs). The statistics of the number of MCs i…
Galaxy counterparts of metal-rich damped Lyman-alpha absorbers - II. A solar-metallicity and dusty DLA at z_abs=2.58
J. P. U. Fynbo, C. Ledoux, P. Noterdaeme +14
[Abridged]. Here, we report on the discovery of the galaxy counterpart of the z_abs=2.58 DLA on the line-of-sight to the z=3.07 quasar SDSS J091826.16+163609.0. The galaxy counterp…
The PRIsm MUlti-Object Survey (PRIMUS) I: Survey Overview and Characteristics
Alison L. Coil, Michael R. Blanton, Scott M. Burles +9
We present the PRIsm MUlti-object Survey (PRIMUS), a spectroscopic faint galaxy redshift survey to z~1. PRIMUS uses a low-dispersion prism and slitmasks to observe ~2,500 objects a…
A Comparison of Methods for Determining the Molecular Content of Model Galaxies
Mark R. Krumholz, Nickolay Y. Gnedin
Recent observations indicate that star formation occurs only in the molecular phase of a galaxy's interstellar medium. A realistic treatment of star formation in simulations and an…
The Last Eight-Billion Years of Intergalactic SiIV Evolution
Kathy L Cooksey, J. Xavier Prochaska, Christopher Thom +1
We identified 24 SiIV absorption systems with z <~ 1 from a blind survey of 49 low-redshift quasars with archival Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet spectra. We relied solely on th…
Metallicities and dust content of proximate damped Lyman alpha systems in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Sara L. Ellison, J. Xavier Prochaska, J. Trevor Mendel
Composite spectra of 85 proximate absorbers (log N(HI)>20 and velocity difference between the absorption and emission redshift, dv<10,000 km/s) in the SDSS are used to investigate…
Self-consistent evolution of gas and cosmic rays in Cygnus A and similar FR II classic double radio sources
William G. Mathews, Fulai Guo
In Cygnus A and other classical FR II double radio sources, powerful opposing jets from the cores of halo-centered galaxies drive out into the surrounding cluster gas, forming hots…
