The evolution of the cluster optical galaxy luminosity function between z=0.4 and 0.9 in the DAFT/FADA survey
Nicolas Martinet, Florence Durret, Loic Guennou +8
We compute optical galaxy luminosity functions (GLFs) in the B, V, R, and I rest-frame bands for one of the largest medium-to-high-redshift (0.4 < z < 0.9) cluster samples to date…
Witnessing gas mixing in the metal distribution of the Hickson Compact Group HCG 31
S. Torres-Flores, C. Mendes de Oliveira, P. Amram +3
We present, for the first time, direct evidence that, in a merger of disk galaxies, the preexisting central metallicities will mix as a result of gas being transported in the merge…
The Subaru high-z quasar survey: discovery of faint z~6 quasars
Nobunari Kashikawa, Yoshifumi Ishizaki, Chris J. Willott +9
We present the discovery of one or two extremely faint z~6 quasars in 6.5 deg^2 utilizing a unique capability of the wide-field imaging of the Subaru/Suprime-Cam. The quasar select…
Isolated elliptical galaxies and their globular cluster systems. II. NGC 7796 - globular clusters, dynamics, companion
T. Richtler, R. Salinas, R. R. Lane +2
We investigate the globular cluster system of the isolated elliptical NGC 7796, present new photometry of the galaxy, and use published kinematical data to constrain the dark matte…
Astrometric Calibration of the Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign
Thomas L. Hayward, Beth A. Biller, Michael C. Liu +6
We describe the astrometric calibration of the Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign. The Campaign requires a relative astrometric accuracy of 20 mas across multi-year time…
PESSTO : survey description and products from the first data release by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects
S. J. Smartt, S. Valenti, M. Fraser +99
The Public European Southern Observatory Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) began as a public spectroscopic survey in April 2012. We describe the data reduction str…
