Gemini Spectra of Star Clusters in the Spiral Galaxy M101
Lesley A. Simanton-Coogan, Rupali Chandar, Bryan Miller +1
We present low resolution, visible light spectra of 41 star clusters in the spiral galaxy M101, taken with the Gemini/GMOS instrument. We measure Lick indices for each cluster and…
On the nature of ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates I: DES1, Eridanus III and Tucana V
Blair C. Conn, Helmut Jerjen, Dongwon Kim +1
We use deep Gemini/GMOS-S photometry to study the three ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates DES1, Eridanus III (Eri III) and Tucana V (Tuc V). Their total luminosities, …
Multiwavelength Follow-up Observations of the Tidal Disruption Event Candidate 2XMMi J184725.1-631724
Dacheng Lin, Jay Strader, Eleazar R. Carrasco +5
The ultrasoft X-ray flare 2XMMi J184725.1-631724 was serendipitously detected in two XMM-Newton observations in 2006 and 2007, with a peak luminosity of 6X10^43 erg/s. It was sugge…
Optical Polarimetric and Near-Infrared Photometric Study of the RCW95 Galactic HII Region
Jaime Vargas-González, Alexandre Roman-Lopes, Fabio Pereira Santos +4
We carried out an optical polarimetric study in the direction of the RCW95 star forming region in order to probe the sky-projected magnetic field structure by using the distributio…
Illuminating Gravitational Waves: A Concordant Picture of Photons from a Neutron Star Merger
M. M. Kasliwal, E. Nakar, L. P. Singer +78
Merging neutron stars offer an exquisite laboratory for simultaneously studying strong-field gravity and matter in extreme environments. We establish the physical association of an…
The stellar content of the infalling molecular clump G286.21+0.17
M. Andersen, P. J. Barnes, J. C. Tan +2
The early evolution during massive star cluster formation is still uncertain. Observing embedded clusters at their earliest stages of formation can provide insight into the spatial…
