Signals embedded in the radial velocity noise. Periodic variations in the tau Ceti velocities
Mikko Tuomi, Hugh R. A. Jones, James S. Jenkins +12
The abilities of radial velocity exoplanet surveys to detect the lowest-mass extra-solar planets are currently limited by a combination of instrument precision, lack of data, and "…
Testing Diagnostics of Nuclear Activity and Star Formation in Galaxies at z>1

Habitable-zone super-Earth candidate in a six-planet system around the K2.5V star HD 40307
Mikko Tuomi, Guillem Anglada-Escude, Enrico Gerlach +5
The K2.5 dwarf HD 40307 has been reported to host three super-Earths. The system lacks massive planets and is therefore a potential candidate for having additional low-mass planeta…
A Rest-frame Optical View on z~4 Galaxies I: Color and Age Distributions from Deep IRAC Photometry of the IUDF10 and GOODS Surveys
P. A. Oesch, I. Labbe, R. J. Bouwens +7
We present a study of rest-frame UV-to-optical color distributions for z~4 galaxies based on the combination of deep HST/ACS+WFC3/IR data with Spitzer/IRAC imaging. In particular,…
Structural Parameters of Galaxies in CANDELS
A. van der Wel, E. F. Bell, B. Haussler +19
We present global structural parameter measurements of 109,533 unique, H_F160W-selected objects from the CANDELS multi-cycle treasury program. Sersic model fits for these objects a…
Formation and evolution of dwarf early-type galaxies in the Virgo cluster II. Kinematic Scaling Relations
E. Toloba, A. Boselli, R. Peletier +3
We place our sample of 18 Virgo dwarf early-type galaxies (dEs) on the V-K - velocity dispersion, Faber-Jackson, and Fundamental Plane (FP) scaling relations for massive early-type…
A variable ultraluminous X-ray source in a globular cluster in NGC 4649
T. P. Roberts, G. Fabbiano, B. Luo +9
We report the discovery of a new ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) associated with a globular cluster in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4649. The X-ray source was initially detected with…

Jay Strader, Giuseppina Fabbiano, Bin Luo +7
We present g and z photometry and size estimates for globular clusters (GCs) in the massive Virgo elliptical NGC 4649 (M60) using a five-pointing Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Ca…
The SLUGGS Survey: NGC 3115, A Critical Test Case for Metallicity Bimodality in Globular Cluster Systems
Jean P. Brodie, Christopher Usher, Charlie Conroy +4
Due to its proximity (9 Mpc) and the strongly bimodal color distribution of its spectroscopically well-sampled globular cluster (GC) system, the early-type galaxy NGC 3115 provides…
Production of Phase Screens for Simulation of Atmospheric Turbulence
Rachel Rampy, Don Gavel, Daren Dillon +1
The ability to simulate atmospheric turbulence in the lab is a crucial part of testing and developing astronomical adaptive optics technology. We report on the development of a tec…
