Young Massive Clusters in Non-Interacting Galaxies
S. S. Larsen, J. P. Brodie, D. A. Hunter +1
Young star clusters with masses well in excess of 100.000 Msun have been observed not only in merger galaxies and large-scale starbursts, but also in fairly normal, undisturbed spi…
The Deep2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Evolution of Close Galaxy Pairs and Major-Merger Rates Up to z ~ 1.2
Lihwai Lin, David C. Koo, Christopher N. A. Willmer +10
We derive the close, kinematic pair fraction and merger rate up to z ~ 1.2 from the initial data of the DEEP2 Redshift Survey. Assuming a mild luminosity evolution, the number of c…
The Ages of Elliptical Galaxies from Mid-Infrared Emission
Pasquale Temi, William G. Mathews, Fabrizio Brighenti
The mid-infrared (10-20 um) luminosity of elliptical galaxies is dominated by the integrated emission from circumstellar dust in red giant stars. As a single stellar population evo…
The Centers of Early-Type Galaxies with HST. V. New WFPC2 Photometry
Tod R. Lauer, S. M. Faber, Karl Gebhardt +14
We analyze HST+WFPC2 images of 77 early-type galaxies. Brightness profiles are classed into "core" or "power-law" forms. Cores are typically rounder than power-law galaxies. Nearly…
The DEEP Groth Strip Galaxy Redshift Survey. VIII. The Evolution of Luminous Field Bulges at Redshift z ~ 1
David C. Koo, Luc Simard, Christopher N. A. Willmer +11
We present a sample of over 50 luminous field bulges (including ellipticals) found in the Groth Strip Survey (GSS), with 0.73< z < 1.04 and with bulge magnitudes I <= 23. The expon…
Survey for Galaxies Associated with z~3 Damped Lyman alpha Systems I: Spectroscopic Calibration of u'BVRI Photometric Selection
J. Cooke, A. M. Wolfe, J. X. Prochaska +1
We present a survey for z~3 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) associated with damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAs) with the primary purpose of determining the DLA-LBG cross-correlation. Thi…
Dust and Ionized Gas in Nine Nearby Early-Type Galaxies Imaged with the HST Advanced Camera for Surveys
A. R. Martel, H. C. Ford, L. D. Bradley +6
We present and continuum images and H+[N II] maps of nine early-type galaxies observed with the Wide Field Channel of the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space…
The DEEP Groth Strip Galaxy Redshift Survey. III. Redshift Catalog and Properties of Galaxies
Benjamin J. Weiner, Andrew C. Phillips, S. M. Faber +16
The Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe (DEEP) is a series of spectroscopic surveys of faint galaxies, targeted at the properties and clustering of galaxies at redshifts z ~ 1. W…
Formation of giant planets in disks with different metallicities
Kacper Kornet, Peter Bodenheimer, Michal Rozyczka +1
We present the first results from simulations of processes leading to planet formation in protoplanetary disks with different metallicities. For a given metallicity, we construct a…
From z>6 to z~2: Unearthing Galaxies at the Edge of the Dark Ages
Garth D. Illingworth, Rychard J. Bouwens
Galaxies undergoing formation and evolution can now be observed over a time baseline of some 12 Gyr. An inherent difficulty with high-redshift observations is that the objects are…
The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: First results on galaxy groups
Brian F. Gerke, Jeffrey A. Newman, Marc Davis +13
We use the first 25% of the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey spectroscopic data to identify groups and clusters of galaxies in redshift space. The data set contains 8370 galaxies with…
Attenuation of Millimeter Emission from Circumstellar Disks Induced by the Rapid Dust Accretion
Taku Takeuchi, D. N. C. Lin
From millimeter observations of classical T Tauri stars, it is suggested that dust grains in circumstellar disks have grown to millimeter size or larger. However, gas drag on such…
Infall, the Butcher-Oemler Effect, and the Descendants of Blue Cluster Galaxies at z~0.6
Kim-Vy H. Tran, Pieter van Dokkum, Garth D. Illingworth +3
Using wide-field HST/WFPC2 imaging and extensive Keck/LRIS spectroscopy, we present a detailed study of the galaxy populations in MS2053--04, a massive, X-ray luminous cluster at z…
Apparent Stellar Wobble by a Planet in a Circumstellar Disk: Limitations on Planet Detection by Astrometry
Taku Takeuchi, T. Velusamy, D. N. C. Lin
Astrometric detection of a stellar wobble on the plane of the sky will provide us a next breakthrough in searching extrasolar planets. The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) is exp…
An empirical initial-final mass relation from hot, massive white dwarfs in NGC 2168 (M35)
Kurtis A. Williams, M. Bolte, Detlev Koester
The relation between the zero-age main sequence mass of a star and its white-dwarf remnant (the initial-final mass relation) is a powerful tool for exploration of mass loss process…
Weak Lensing Analysis of the z~0.8 cluster CL 0152-1357 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys
M. J. Jee, R. L. White, N. Benitez +5
We present a weak lensing analysis of the X-ray luminous cluster CL 0152-1357 at z~0.84 using HST/ACS observations. The unparalleled resolution and sensitivity of ACS enable us to…
The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Probing the Evolution of Dark Matter Halos around Isolated Galaxies at z ~ 1
Charlie Conroy, Jeffrey A. Newman, Marc Davis +6
Using the first 25% of DEEP2 Redshift Survey data, we probe the line-of-sight velocity dispersion profile for isolated galaxies with absolute B-band magnitude -22<M_B-5log(h)<-21 a…
Metal Abundances of KISS Galaxies III. Nebular Abundances for Fourteen Galaxies and the Luminosity-Metallicity Relationship for HII Galaxies
Janice C. Lee, John J. Salzer, Jason Melbourne
We report results from the third in a series of nebular abundance studies of emission-line galaxies from the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS). Galaxies with coarse me…
Absence of Dwarf Galaxies at High Redshifts: Evidence from a Galaxy Group
