SDSS-IV MaNGA: Cannibalism Caught in the Act -- on the Frequency of Occurrence of Multiple Cores in Brightest Cluster Galaxies
Yun-Hsin Hsu, Yen-Ting Lin, Song Huang +16
Although it is generally accepted that massive galaxies form in a two-phased fashion, beginning with a rapid mass buildup through intense starburst activities, followed by primaril…

We present detailed abundance measurements for 45 globular clusters (GCs) in galaxies in (and, in one case, beyond) the Local Group. The measurements are based on new high-resoluti…
NGC5846-UDG1: A galaxy formed mostly by star formation in massive, extremely dense clumps of gas
Shany Danieli, Pieter van Dokkum, Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez +10
It has been shown that ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have higher specific frequencies of globular clusters on average than other dwarf galaxies with similar luminosities. The UDG N…
Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in the Perseus Cluster: Comparing Galaxy Properties with Globular Cluster System Richness
Jonah S. Gannon, Duncan A. Forbes, Aaron J. Romanowsky +6
It is clear that within the class of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) there is an extreme range in the richness of their associated globular cluster (GC) systems. Here, we report the…
The deepest view of RBS 797: evidence for two pairs of equidistant X-ray cavities
Francesco Ubertosi, Myriam Gitti, Fabrizio Brighenti +14
We present the first results of a deep observation of the galaxy cluster RBS 797, whose previous X-ray studies revealed two pronounced X-ray cavities in the east-west (E-…
Discovery of a protocluster core associated with an enormous Ly Nebula at

The Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) is undertaking a blind wide-field low-resolution spectroscopic survey of 540 square degrees of sky to identify and…
A Novel Framework for Modeling Weakly Lensing Shear Using Kinematics and Imaging at Moderate Redshift
Brian DiGiorgio, Kevin Bundy, Kyle B. Westfall +2
Kinematic weak lensing describes the distortion of a galaxy's projected velocity field due to lensing shear, an effect recently reported for the first time by Gurri et al. based on…
The Baltimore Oriole's Nest: Cool Winds from the Inner and Outer Parts of a Star-Forming Galaxy at z=1.3
Weichen Wang, Susan A. Kassin, S. M. Faber +12
Strong galactic winds are ubiquitous at . However, it is not well known where inside galaxies these winds are launched from. We study the cool winds (\,K) in…
Second Data Release of the COSMOS Lyman-alpha Mapping and Tomographic Observation: The First 3D Maps of the Detailed Cosmic Web at 2.05<z<2.55
Benjamin Horowitz, Khee-Gan Lee, Metin Ata +12
We present the second data release of the COSMOS Lyman-Alpha Mapping And Tomography Observations (CLAMATO) Survey conducted with the LRIS spectrograph on the Keck-I telescope. This…
Final Targeting Strategy for the SDSS-IV APOGEE-2S Survey
Felipe A. Santana, Rachael L. Beaton, Kevin R. Covey +43
APOGEE is a high-resolution (R sim 22,000), near-infrared, multi-epoch, spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way. The second generation of the APOGEE project, APOGEE-2, includes an ex…
