On the Surface Heating of Synchronously-Spinning Short-Period Jovian Planets
Andreas Burkert, Douglas Lin, Peter Bodenheimer +2
We consider the atmospheric flow on short-period extra-solar planets through two-dimensional numerical simulations of hydrodynamics with radiation transfer. One side is always expo…
On the C and N Abundances of 47 Tucanae Main Sequence Stars
Michael M. Briley, Daniel Harbeck, Graeme H. Smith +1
We report the results of an analysis of CN and CH band strengths among a large sample of 47 Tucanae main-sequence and turn-off stars presented earlier by Harbeck et al. The resulti…
The detailed Fundamental Plane of two high redshift clusters: MS 2053-04 at z=0.58 and MS 1054-03 at z=0.83
Stijn Wuyts, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Daniel D. Kelson +2
We study the fundamental plane relation in high redshift clusters using a sample of 26 galaxies in MS 2053-04 (z=0.583) and 22 galaxies in MS 1054-03 (z=0.83). The zeropoint and sc…
Star Formation and Feedback in Dwarf Galaxies
Shawfeng Dong, D. N. C. Lin, S. D. Murray
We examine the star formation history and stellar feedback effects of dwarf galaxies under the influence of extragalactic ultraviolet radiation. We consider the dynamical evolution…
A comprehensive set of elemental abundances in damped Ly-alpha systems: revealing the nature of these high-redshift galaxies
M. Dessauges-Zavadsky, F. Calura, J. X. Prochaska +2
By combining our UVES-VLT spectra of a sample of four damped Ly-alpha systems (DLAs) toward the quasars Q0100+13, Q1331+17, Q2231-00 and Q2343+12 with the existing HIRES-Keck spect…
Towards a Deterministic Model of Planetary Formation I: a Desert in the Mass and Semi Major Axis Distributions of Extra Solar Planets
S. Ida, D. N. C. Lin
We examine the accretion of cores of giant planets from planetesimals, gas accretion onto the cores, and their orbital migration. We adopt a working model for nascent protostellar…
Revisiting the Globular Cluster System of the Merger Remnant Elliptical NGC 3610
Jay Strader, Jean P. Brodie, Duncan A. Forbes
We have obtained Keck spectra of six candidate globular clusters (GCs) in the dynamically young elliptical galaxy NGC 3610, supplementing our previous Keck spectra of eight confirm…
Tidal dissipation in rotating giant planets
G. I. Ogilvie, D. N. C. Lin
[Abridged] Tides may play an important role in determining the observed distributions of mass, orbital period, and eccentricity of the extrasolar planets. In addition, tidal intera…
Detection of Intermediate-Period Transiting Planets with a Network of Small Telescopes: transitsearch.org
Scott Seagroves, Justin Harker, Gregory Laughlin +2
We describe a project (transitsearch.org) currently attempting to discover transiting intermediate-period planets orbiting bright parent stars, and we simulate that project's perfo…
The Distances to Open Clusters as Derived from Main-sequence Fitting. II. Construction of Empirically Calibrated Isochrones
M. H. Pinsonneault, D. M. Terndrup, R. B. Hanson +1
We continue our series of papers on open cluster distances by comparing multicolor photometry of single stars in the Hyades to theoretical isochrones constructed with various color…
Hot Gas In and Around Elliptical Galaxies
William G. Mathews, Fabrizio Brighenti
We review the origin, evolution and physical nature of hot gas in elliptical galaxies and associated galaxy groups. Unanticipated recent X-ray observations with Chandra and XMM ind…
On the Formation of Brown Dwarfs
Ing-Guey Jiang, G. Laughlin, D. N. C. Lin
The observational properties of brown dwarfs pose challenges to the theory of star formation. Because their mass is much smaller than the typical Jeans mass of interstellar clouds,…
The Nature of E+A Galaxies in Intermediate Redshift Clusters
Kim-Vy Tran, Marijn Franx, Garth Illingworth +2
[Abridged] Combining HST/WFPC2 mosaics with extensive ground-based spectroscopy, we study the nature of E+A galaxies in three intermediate redshift clusters (z=0.33, 0.58, & 0.83).…
Stellar Orbits and the Interstellar Gas Temperature in Elliptical Galaxies
William G. Mathews, Fabrizio Brighenti
We draw attention to the close relationship between the anisotropy parameter beta(r) for stellar orbits in elliptical galaxies and the temperature profile T(r) of the hot interstel…
Deep Photometry in a Remote M31 Major Axis Field Near G1
R. Michael Rich, David B. Reitzel, Puragra Guhathakurta +2
We present photometry from Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 parallel imagery of a remote M31 field at a projected distance of about 34 kpc from the nucleu…
Keck Spectroscopy of Red Giant Stars in the Vicinity of M31's Massive Globular Cluster G1
David B. Reitzel, Puragra Guhathakurta, R. Michael Rich
We present results from a Keck spectroscopic survey of red giants in a field near M31's major axis, ~34kpc in projection from the nucleus, near the globular cluster G1. We use mult…
