A mature galaxy cluster at z=1.58 around the radio galaxy 7C1753+6311

E. A. Cooke, N. A. Hatch, D. Stern +9

We report on the discovery of a z=1.58 mature cluster around the high-redshift radio galaxy 7C1753+6311, first identified in the Clusters Around Radio-Loud AGN survey. Two-thirds o…

Probing star formation in the dense environments of z~1 lensing halos aligned with dusty star-forming galaxies detected with the South Pole Telescope

N. Welikala, M. Béthermin, D. Guery +46

We probe star formation in the environments of massive dark matter halos at redshifts of . This star formation is linked to a sub-millimetre cl…

Are Compton-Thick AGN the Missing Link Between Mergers and Black Hole Growth?

Dale D. Kocevski, Murray Brightman, Kirpal Nandra +12

We examine the host morphologies of heavily obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) at to test whether obscured supermassive black hole growth at this epoch is preferentiall…

Quasar Variability in the Mid-Infrared

Szymon Kozlowski, Christopher S. Kochanek, Matthew L. N. Ashby +5

The Decadal IRAC Bootes Survey is a mid-IR variability survey of the ~9 sq. deg. of the NDWFS Bootes Field and extends the time baseline of its predecessor, the Spitzer Deep, Wide-…

The formation history of massive cluster galaxies as revealed by CARLA

E. A. Cooke, N. A. Hatch, A. Rettura +12

We use a sample of 37 of the densest clusters and protoclusters across from the Clusters Around Radio-Loud AGN (CARLA) survey to study the formation of massive…

Tracing kinematic (mis)alignments in CALIFA merging galaxies: Stellar and ionized gas kinematic orientations at every merger stage

J. K. Barrera-Ballesteros, B. García-Lorenzo, J. Falcón-Barroso +27

We present spatially resolved stellar and/or ionized gas kinematic properties for a sample of 103 interacting galaxies, tracing all merger stages: close companions, pairs with morp…

Testing the Modern Merger Hypothesis via the Assembly of Massive Blue Elliptical Galaxies in the Local Universe

Tim Haines, D. H. McIntosh, S. F. Sánchez +2

The modern merger hypothesis offers a method of forming a new elliptical galaxy through merging two equal-mass, gas-rich disk galaxies fuelling a nuclear starburst followed by effi…

Mid-infrared luminous quasars in the GOODS-Herschel fields: a large population of heavily-obscured, Compton-thick quasars at z~2

A. Del Moro, D. M. Alexander, F. E. Bauer +10

We present the infrared (IR) and X-ray properties of a sample of 33 mid-IR luminous quasars (L(6 micron)>6x10 erg/s) at redshift z~1-3, identified through detailed spectr…

Beyond Spheroids and Discs: Classifications of CANDELS Galaxy Structure at 1.4 < z < 2 via Principal Component Analysis

Michael A. Peth, Jennifer M. Lotz, Peter E. Freeman +15

Important but rare and subtle processes driving galaxy morphology and star-formation may be missed by traditional spiral, elliptical, irregular or Sérsic bulge/disk classifications…

A Connection between Obscuration and Star Formation in Luminous Quasars

Chien-Ting J. Chen, Ryan C. Hickox, Stacey Alberts +15

We present a measurement of the star formation properties of a uniform sample of mid-IR selected, unobscured and obscured quasars (QSO1s and QSO2s) in the Boötes survey region. We…
