Constraining Sub-Parsec Binary Supermassive Black Holes in Quasars with Multi-Epoch Spectroscopy. II. The Population with Kinematically Offset Broad Balmer Emission Lines

Xin Liu, Yue Shen, Fuyan Bian +2

A small fraction of quasars have long been known to show bulk velocity offsets in the broad Balmer lines with respect to the systemic redshift of the host galaxy. Models to explain…

Three Gravitationally Lensed Supernovae Behind CLASH Galaxy Clusters

Brandon Patel, Curtis McCully, Saurabh W. Jha +42

We report observations of three gravitationally lensed supernovae (SNe) in the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH) Multi-Cycle Treasury program. These objects,…

Non-Parametric Cell-Based Photometric Proxies for Galaxy Morphology: Methodology and Application to the Morphologically-Defined Star Formation -- Stellar Mass Relation of Spiral Galaxies in the Local Universe

M. W. Grootes, R. J. Tuffs, C. C. Popescu +3

(Abridged) We present a non-parametric cell-based method of selecting highly pure and largely complete samples of spiral galaxies using photometric and structural parameters as pro…

The Araucaria Project. The distance to the Small Magellanic Cloud from late-type eclipsing binaries

Dariusz Graczyk, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Ian B. Thompson +12

We present a distance determination to the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) based on an analysis of four detached, long period, late type eclipsing binaries discovered by the OGLE Surv…

JKCS041: a Coma cluster progenitor at z=1.803

S. Andreon, A. B. Newman, G. Trinchieri +3

Using deep two-color near-infrared HST imaging and unbiased grism spectroscopy we present a detailed study of the z=1.803 JKCS041 cluster. Uniquely, for a high redshift cluster, we…
