Dissecting early-type dwarf galaxies into their multiple components
J. Janz, E. Laurikainen, T. Lisker +8
Early-type dwarf galaxies, once believed to be simple systems, have recently been shown to exhibit an intriguing diversity in structure and stellar content. To analyze this further…
The ongoing assembly of a central cluster galaxy: Phase-space substructures in the halo of M87
Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jay Strader, Jean P. Brodie +5
The halos of galaxies preserve unique records of their formation histories. We carry out the first combined observational and theoretical study of phase-space halo substructure in…
Luminous and High Stellar Mass Candidate Galaxies at z ~ 8 Discovered in CANDELS
Haojing Yan, Steven L. Finkelstein, Kuang-Han Huang +26
One key goal of the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Assembly Near-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey is to track galaxy evolution back to z ~ 8. Its two-tiered "wide and deep"…
Evidence for inhomogeneous reionization in the local Universe from metal-poor globular cluster systems
Lee R. Spitler, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jürg Diemand +4
Exploiting a fundamental characteristic of galaxy assembly in the ΛCDM paradigm, the observed spatial biasing and kinematics of metal-poor globular star clusters are used to constr…
MAGICC haloes: confronting simulations with observations of the circumgalactic medium at z=0
Greg Stinson, Chris Brook, J. Xavier Prochaska +8
We explore the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of two simulated star-forming galaxies with luminosities L ~ 0.1 and 1 L* generated using the smooth particle hydrodynamic code GASOLINE.…
The SPLASH Survey: Spectroscopy of 15 M31 Dwarf Spheroidal Satellite Galaxies

We present a resolved-star spectroscopic survey of 15 dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellites of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) as part of the Spectroscopic and Photometric Landscape of And…
The Colloquium on Decoupling Civil Timekeeping from Earth Rotation
John H. Seago, Robert L. Seaman, Steven L. Allen
On October 5 and October 6, 2011, the Colloquium on the Decoupling Civil Timekeeping from Earth Rotation was hosted in Exton, Pennsylvania by Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI). This…
The First Observations of Low-Redshift Damped Lyman-α Systems with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph: Chemical Abundances and Affiliated Galaxies
A. J. Battisti, J. D. Meiring, T. M. Tripp +6
We present Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) measurements of metal abundances in eight 0.083<z<0.321 damped Lyman-α(DLA) and sub-damped Ly-α absorption systems serendipitously disc…
The Hidden Mass and Large Spatial Extent of a Poststarburst Galaxy Outflow
Todd M. Tripp, Joseph D. Meiring, J. Xavier Prochaska +9
Outflowing winds of multiphase plasma have been proposed to regulate the buildup of galaxies, but key aspects of these outflows have not been probed with observations. Using ultrav…
The Large, Oxygen-Rich Halos of Star-Forming Galaxies Are A Major Reservoir of Galactic Metals
Jason Tumlinson, Christopher Thom, Jessica K. Werk +11
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is fed by galaxy outflows and accretion of intergalactic gas, but its mass, heavy element enrichment, and relation to galaxy properties are poorly c…
Fe K emission from active galaxies in the COSMOS field
K. Iwasawa, V. Mainieri, M. Brusa +14
We present a rest-frame spectral stacking analysis of ~1000 X-ray sources detected in the XMM-COSMOS field in order to investigate the iron K line properties of active galaxies bey…
Detection of Pristine Gas Two Billion Years after the Big Bang
Michele Fumagalli, John M. O'Meara, J. Xavier Prochaska
In the current cosmological model, only the three lightest elements were created in the first few minutes after the Big Bang; all other elements were produced later in stars. To da…
Clustering properties of BzK-selected galaxies in GOODS-N: environmental quenching and triggering of star formation at z ~ 2
Lihwai Lin, Mark Dickinson, Hung-Yu Jian +19
Using a sample of BzK-selected galaxies at z~2 identified from the CFHT/WIRCAM near-infrared survey of GOODS-North, we discuss the relation between star formation rate (SFR), speci…
The XMM-BCS galaxy cluster survey: I. The X-ray selected cluster catalog from the initial 6 deg
R. Šuhada, J. Song, H. Böhringer +19
The XMM-Newton - Blanco Cosmology Survey project (XMM-BCS) is a coordinated X-ray, optical and mid-infrared cluster survey in a field also covered by Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect surv…
Metallicity Gradients in the Milky Way Disk as Observed by the SEGUE Survey
Judy Y. Cheng, Constance M. Rockosi, Heather L. Morrison +6
The observed radial and vertical metallicity distribution of old stars in the Milky Way disk provides a powerful constraint on the chemical enrichment and dynamical history of the…
GOODS-Herschel and CANDELS: The Morphologies of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies at z~2
Jeyhan S. Kartaltepe, Mark Dickinson, David M. Alexander +40
Using deep 100-160 micron observations in GOODS-S from the GOODS-H survey, combined with HST/WFC3 NIR imaging from CANDELS, we present the first morphological analysis of a complet…
