Evolution of Broad-line Emission from Active Galactic Nuclei

Moshe Elitzur, Luis C. Ho, Jonathan R. Trump

Apart from viewing-dependent obscuration, intrinsic broad-line emission from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) follows an evolutionary sequence: Type …

The Pattern of CN, O, and Na Inhomogeneities on the Red Giant Branch of Messier 5

Graeme H. Smith, Payal N. Modi, Katherine M. Hamren

Data from the literature are used to explore the relation between 3883 CN band strength and the sodium and oxygen abundances of red giants in the globular cluster Messier 5. Alt…

A New Approach to Detailed Structural Decomposition from the SPLASH and PHAT Surveys: Kicked-up Disk Stars in the Andromeda Galaxy?

Claire E. Dorman, Lawrence M. Widrow, Puragra Guhathakurta +7

We characterize the bulge, disk, and halo subcomponents in the Andromeda galaxy (M31) over the radial range 4 < R_proj < 225 kpc. The cospatial nature of these subcomponents render…

CANDELS: The correlation between galaxy morphology and star formation activity at z~2

Bomee Lee, Mauro Giavalisco, Christina C. Williams +13

We discuss the state of the assembly of the Hubble Sequence in the mix of bright galaxies at redshift 1.4< z \le 2.5 with a large sample of 1,671 galaxies down to H_{AB}~26, select…

Serendipitous discovery of a massive cD galaxy at z=1.096: Implications for the early formation and late evolution of cD galaxies

F. S. Liu, Yicheng Guo, David C. Koo +18

We have made a serendipitous discovery of a massive cD galaxy at z=1.096 in a candidate rich cluster in the HUDF area of GOODS-South. This brightest cluster galaxy is the most dist…

Variation of Mid and Far-IR Luminosities among Early-Type Galaxies: Relation to Stellar Metallicity and Cold Dust

William G. Mathews, Pasquale Temi, Fabrizio Brighenti +1

The Hubble morphological sequence from early to late galaxies corresponds to an increasing rate of specific star formation. The Hubble sequence also follows a banana-shaped correla…

Measuring Detailed Chemical Abundances From Co-added Medium Resolution Spectra I. Tests using Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies and globular clusters

Lei Yang, Evan N. Kirby, Puragra Guhathakurta +2

The ability to measure metallicities and α-element abundances in individual red giant branch (RGB) stars using medium-resolution spectra () is a valuable tool for d…
