We have used deep, wide-field optical imaging to study the faint outskirts of the luminous spiral galaxy M101 (NGC 5457), as well as its surrounding environment. Over six square de…
Constraints on Cosmology from the Cosmic Microwave Background Power Spectrum of the 2500 SPT-SZ Survey

Real Space Approach to CMB deboosting
Amanda Yoho, Craig J. Copi, Glenn D. Starkman +1
The effect of our Galaxy's motion through the Cosmic Microwave Background rest frame, which aberrates and Doppler shifts incoming photons measured by current CMB experiments, has b…
The HI environment of the M101 group
Chris Mihos, Katie Keating, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +2
We present a wide (8.5x6.7 degree, 1050x825 kpc), deep (sigma(N_HI)=10^(16.8-17.5) cm^-2) neutral hydrogen (HI) map of the M101 galaxy group. We identify two new HI sources in the…
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: the low redshift sample
John K. Parejko, Tomomi Sunayama, Nikhil Padmanabhan +36
We report on the small scale (0.5<r<40h^-1 Mpc) clustering of 78895 massive (M*~10^11.3M_sun) galaxies at 0.2<z<0.4 from the first two years of data from the Baryon Oscillation Spe…
The δN formula is the dynamical renormalization group
Mafalda Dias, Raquel H. Ribeiro, David Seery
We derive the 'separate universe' method for the inflationary bispectrum, beginning directly from a field-theory calculation. We work to tree-level in quantum effects but to all or…
A Measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Damping Tail from the 2500-square-degree SPT-SZ survey
K. T. Story, C. L. Reichardt, Z. Hou +47
We present a measurement of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature power spectrum using data from the recently completed South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SPT-SZ)…
Effect of Our Galaxy's Motion on Weak Lensing Measurements of Shear and Convergence
J. B. Mertens, A. Yoho, G. D. Starkman
In this work we investigate the effect on weak-lensing shear and convergence measurements due to distortions from the Lorentz boost induced by our Galaxy's motion. While no ellipti…
Enhanced Preheating after Multi-Field Inflation: On the Importance of being Special
Thorsten Battefeld, Alexander Eggemeier, John T. Giblin
We discuss preheating after multi-field inflation in the presence of several preheat matter fields that become light in the vicinity of (but not at) the inflatons' VEV, at distinct…
The metallicity profile of M31 from spectroscopy of hundreds of HII regions and PNe
Nathan Sanders, Nelson Caldwell, Jonathan McDowell +1
The oxygen abundance gradients among nebular emission line regions in spiral galaxies have been used as important constraints for models of chemical evolution. We present the large…
A Massive, Cooling-Flow-Induced Starburst in the Core of a Highly Luminous Galaxy Cluster
M. McDonald, M. Bayliss, B. A. Benson +83
In the cores of some galaxy clusters the hot intracluster plasma is dense enough that it should cool radiatively in the cluster's lifetime, leading to continuous "cooling flows" of…
Evolution of the Most Massive Galaxies to z ~ 0.6: II. The link between radio AGN activity and star formation
Yan-Mei Chen, Guinevere Kauffmann, Timothy M. Heckman +6
We analyze the optical spectra of massive (log M*/Msun > 11.4) radio-loud galaxies at z~0.2 and z~0.6. By comparing stellar population parameters of these radio-loud samples with r…
High-Redshift Cool-Core Galaxy Clusters Detected via the Sunyaev--Zel'dovich Effect in the South Pole Telescope Survey
D. R. Semler, R. Šuhada, K. A. Aird +76
We report the first investigation of cool-core properties of galaxy clusters selected via their Sunyaev--Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. We use 13 galaxy clusters uniformly selected from 1…

The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is designed to measure the scale of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter over a larger volume than the…
Gravitational Radiation from First-Order Phase Transitions
Hillary L. Child, John T. Giblin
It is believed that first-order phase transitions at or around the GUT scale will produce high-frequency gravitational radiation. This radiation is a consequence of the collisions…
