Evidence for Merger-Driven Growth in Luminous, High-z, Obscured AGN in the CANDELS/COSMOS Field
J. L. Donley, J. Kartaltepe, D. Kocevski +27
While major mergers have long been proposed as a driver of both AGN activity and the M-sigma relation, studies of moderate to high redshift Seyfert-luminosity AGN hosts have found…

Cold Filamentary Accretion and the Formation of Metal Poor Globular Clusters and Halo Stars
Nir Mandelker, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Jean P. Brodie +2
We propose that cold filamentary accretion in massive galaxies at high redshift can lead to the formation of star-forming clumps in the halos of these galaxies without the presence…
The Stellar Populations of Two Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies from Optical and Near-infrared Photometry

We present results from an optical study of two young Balmer-dominated remnants of SNIa in the Large Magellanic Cloud, 050967.5 and 051969.0, in an attempt to search for sign…
Gaia17biu/SN 2017egm in NGC 3191: The closest hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova to date is in a "normal", massive, metal-rich spiral galaxy
Subhash Bose, Subo Dong, A. Pastorello +55
Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) have been predominantly found in low-metallicity, star-forming dwarf galaxies. Here we identify Gaia17biu/SN 2017egm as an SLSN-I o…
