Cross-Correlation of SDSS DR7 Quasars and DR10 BOSS Galaxies: The Weak Luminosity Dependence of Quasar Clustering at z~0.5

Yue Shen, Cameron K. McBride, Martin White +21

We present the measurement of the two-point cross-correlation function (CCF) of 8,198 Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) quasars and 349,608 DR10 CMASS galaxies f…

CLASH: The enhanced lensing efficiency of the highly elongated merging cluster MACS J0416.1-2403

A. Zitrin, M. Meneghetti, K. Umetsu +21

We perform a strong-lensing analysis of the merging galaxy cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 (M0416; z=0.42) in recent CLASH/HST observations. We identify 70 new multiple images and candid…

Cosmological Evolution of Supermassive Black Holes: Mass Functions and Spins

Yan-Rong Li, Jian-Min Wang, Luis C. Ho

We derive the mass function of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) over the redshift range 0<z<2, using the latest deep luminosity and mass functions of field galaxies. Applying this…

Intragroup and Galaxy-Linked Diffuse X-ray Emission in Hickson Compact Groups

Tyler D. Desjardins, Sarah C. Gallagher, Panayiotis Tzanavaris +9

Isolated compact groups of galaxies (CGs) present a range of dynamical states, group velocity dispersions, and galaxy morphologies with which to study galaxy evolution, particularl…

The Escape Fraction of Ionizing Radiation from Galaxies

Andrew Benson, Aparna Venkatesan, J. Michael Shull

The escape of ionizing radiation from galaxies plays a critical role in the evolution of gas in galaxies, and the heating and ionization history of the intergalactic medium. We pre…
