Dark matter inner slope and concentration in galaxies: from the Fornax dwarf to M87
G. A. Mamon, J. Chevalier, A. J. Romanowsky +1
We apply two new state-of-the-art methods that model the distribution of observed tracers in projected phase space to lift the mass / velocity anisotropy (VA) degeneracy and deduce…
The Evolution of the Galaxy Rest-Frame Ultraviolet Luminosity Function Over the First Two Billion Years
Steven L. Finkelstein, Russell E. Ryan, Casey Papovich +26
We present a robust measurement and analysis of the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) luminosity function at z=4-8. We use deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging over the CANDELS/GOODS fiel…
CANDELS/GOODS-S, CDFS, ECDFS: Photometric Redshifts For Normal and for X-Ray-Detected Galaxies
Li-Ting Hsu, Mara Salvato, Kirpal Nandra +29
We present photometric redshifts and associated probability distributions for all detected sources in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS). The work makes use of the most…
Galaxy Zoo: CANDELS Barred Disks and Bar Fractions
B. D. Simmons, Thomas Melvin, Chris Lintott +39
The formation of bars in disk galaxies is a tracer of the dynamical maturity of the population. Previous studies have found that the incidence of bars in disks decreases from the l…
Non-parametric analysis of the rest-frame UV sizes and morphological disturbance amongst L* galaxies at 4<z<8
E. Curtis-Lake, R. J. McLure, J. S. Dunlop +12
We present the results of a study investigating the sizes and morphologies of redshift 4 < z < 8 galaxies in the CANDELS GOODS-S, HUDF and HUDF parallel fields. Based on non-parame…
The First H-band Spectrum of the Massive Gas Giant Planet beta Pictoris b with the Gemini Planet Imager
Jeffrey Chilcote, Travis Barman, Michael P. Fitzgerald +43
Using the recently installed Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), we have taken the first H-band spectrum of the planetary companion to the nearby young star beta Pictoris. GPI is designed…
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury. Progression of Large-Scale Star Formation across Space and Time in M31
Dimitrios A. Gouliermis, Lori C. Beerman, Luciana Bianchi +11
We investigate the clustering of early-type stars younger than 300 Myr on galactic scales in M31. Based on the stellar photometric catalogs of the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Tre…
Growth of Jupiter: Enhancement of Core Accretion by a Voluminous Low-Mass Envelope
Gennaro D'Angelo, Stuart J. Weidenschilling, Jack J. Lissauer +1
We present calculations of the early stages of the formation of Jupiter via core nucleated accretion and gas capture. The core begins as a seed body of about 350 kilometers in radi…
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury V: Ages and Masses of the Year 1 Stellar Clusters
Morgan Fouesneau, L. Clifton Johnson, Daniel R. Weisz +13
We present ages and masses for 601 star clusters in M31 from the analysis of the six filter integrated light measurements from near ultraviolet to near infrared wavelengths, made a…
APF - The Lick Observatory Automated Planet Finder
Steven S. Vogt, Matthew Radovan, Robert Kibrick +45
The Automated Planet Finder (APF) is a facility purpose-built for the discovery and characterization of extrasolar planets through high-cadence Doppler velocimetry of the reflex ba…
Globular clusters of NGC 3115 in the near-infrared. Demonstrating the correctness of two opposing scenarios
Michele Cantiello, John P. Blakeslee, Gabriella Raimondo +4
We combined new near-infrared VLT/HAWK-I data of the globular clusters (GCs) in the isolated edge-on S0 galaxy NGC 3115 with optical and spectroscopic ones taken from the literatur…
The First Hypervelocity Star from the LAMOST Survey
Zheng Zheng, Jeffrey L. Carlin, Timothy C. Beers +10
We report the first hypervelocity star (HVS) discovered from the LAMOST spectroscopic survey. It is a B-type star with a heliocentric radial velocity about 620 km/s, which projects…
Properties of Submillimeter Galaxies in the CANDELS GOODS-S Field
Tommy Wiklind, Christopher J. Conselice, Tomas Dahlen +29
We derive physical properties of 10 submillimeter galaxies located in the CANDELS coverage of the GOODS-S field. The galaxies were first identified as submillimeter sources with th…
Investigating evidence for different black hole accretion modes since redshift z~1
A. Georgakakis, P. G. Pérez-González, N. Fanidakis +11
Chandra data in the COSMOS, AEGIS-XD and 4Ms CDFS are combined with optical/near-IR photometry to determine the rest-frame U-V vs V-J colours of X-ray AGN hosts at mean redshifts 0…
First Dynamic Computation of Synchrotron Emission from the Cygnus A Radio Cavity; Evidence for Electron Pair Plasma in Cavity
William G. Mathews
Cosmic rays, thermal gas and magnetic fields in FRII radio cavities are assumed to come entirely from winds flowing from just behind the jet shocks. Combining analytic and computat…
Ultra compact dwarfs in the Perseus Cluster: UCD formation via tidal stripping
Samantha J. Penny, Duncan A. Forbes, Jay Strader +3
We present the results of a Keck/DEIMOS survey of Ultra Compact Dwarfs (UCDs) in the Perseus Cluster core. We confirm cluster membership for 14 UCDs, with radial velocities ~5300 k…
Bulge Growth and Quenching since z = 2.5 in CANDELS/3D-HST
Philipp Lang, Stijn Wuyts, Rachel S. Somerville +20
Exploiting the deep high-resolution imaging of all 5 CANDELS fields, and accurate redshift information provided by 3D-HST, we investigate the relation between structure and stellar…
Kinematic transitions and streams in galaxy halos
A. J. Romanowsky, J. A. Arnold, J. P. Brodie +7
The chemo-dynamics of galaxy halos beyond the Local Group may now be mapped out through the use of globular clusters and planetary nebulae as bright tracer objects, along with deep…
Stellar Kinematics and Structural Properties of Virgo Cluster Dwarf Early-Type Galaxies from the SMAKCED Project. I. Kinematically Decoupled Cores and Implications for Infallen Groups in Clusters
