Two More Candidate AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) Binaries from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

S. F. Anderson, A. C. Becker, D. Haggard +18

AM CVn systems are a select group of ultracompact binaries with the shortest orbital periods of any known binary subclass; mass-transfer is likely from a low-mass (partially-)degen…

The Tully-Fisher Relation and Its Residuals for a Broadly Selected Sample of Galaxies

James Pizagno, Francisco Prada, David H. Weinberg +7

We measure the relation between galaxy luminosity and disk circular velocity (the Tully-Fisher [TF] relation), in the g, r, i, and z-bands, for a broadly selected sample of galaxie…
