The Connection between a Lyman Limit System, a very strong OVI Absorber, and Galaxies at z~0.203

N. Lehner, J. X. Prochaska, H. A. Kobulnicky +4

With a column density log N(OVI) = 14.95+/-0.05, the OVI absorber at z_abs~0.2028 observed toward the QSO PKS0312-77 (z_em=0.223) is the strongest yet detected at z<0.5. At nearly…

The Frequency of Warm Debris Disks and Transition Disks in a Complete Sample of Intermediate-Mass GLIMPSE Stars: Placing Constraints on Disk Lifetimes

B. Uzpen, H. A. Kobulnicky, K. Kinemuchi

The incidence of dusty debris disks around low- and intermediate-mass stars has been investigated numerous times in order to understand the early stages of planet formation. Most n…

Degree bounds for type-A weight rings and Gelfand--Tsetlin semigroups

Benjamin J. Howard, Tyrrell B. McAllister

A weight ring in type A is the coordinate ring of the GIT quotient of the variety of flags in $\C^n$ modulo a twisted action of the maximal torus in $\SL(n,\C)$. We show that any w…

The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: The spectroscopic QSO catalogue

Scott M. Croom, Gordon T. Richards, Tom Shanks +27

We present the final spectroscopic QSO catalogue from the 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) Survey. This is a deep, 18<g<21.85 (extinction corrected), sample aimed at probing in detail…
