Observations of Lyman-alpha and O VI: Signatures of Cooling and Star Formation in a Massive Central Cluster Galaxy

Megan Donahue, Thomas Connor, G. Mark Voit +1

We report new HST COS and STIS spectroscopy of a star-forming region (~100 solar masses/year) in the center of the X-ray cluster RXJ1532.9+3021 (z=0.362), to follow-up the CLASH te…

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): Gas Fuelling of Spiral Galaxies in the Local Universe I. - The Effect of the Group Environment on Star Formation in Spiral Galaxies

M. W. Grootes, R. J. Tuffs, C. C. Popescu +20

Abridged - We quantify the effect of the galaxy group environment (for 12.5 < log(M_group/Msun) < 14.0) on the star formation rates of the (morphologically-selected) population of…

Insights into the chemical composition of the metal-poor Milky Way halo globular cluster NGC 6426

M. Hanke, A. Koch, C. J. Hansen +1

We present our detailed spectroscopic analysis of the chemical composition of four red giant stars in the halo globular cluster NGC 6426. We obtained high-resolution spectra using…

A Quasar Discovered at redshift 6.6 from Pan-STARRS1

Ji-Jia Tang, Tomotsugu Goto, Youichi Ohyama +11

Luminous high-redshift quasars can be used to probe of the intergalactic medium (IGM) in the early universe because their UV light is absorbed by the neutral hydrogen along the lin…

Cosmic evolution and metal aversion in super-luminous supernova host galaxies

S. Schulze, T. Krühler, G. Leloudas +21

The SUperluminous Supernova Host galaxIES (SUSHIES) survey aims to provide strong new constraints on the progenitors of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) by understanding the relati…

The Initial Mass Function in the Nearest Strong Lenses from SNELLS: Assessing the Consistency of Lensing, Dynamical, and Spectroscopic Constraints

Andrew B. Newman, Russell J. Smith, Charlie Conroy +2

We present new observations of the three nearest early-type galaxy (ETG) strong lenses discovered in the SINFONI Nearby Elliptical Lens Locator Survey (SNELLS). Based on their lens…
