SSGSS: The Spitzer-SDSS-GALEX Spectroscopic Survey

Matthew J. O'Dowd, David Schiminovich, Benjamin D. Johnson +8

The Spitzer-SDSS-GALEX Spectroscopic Survey (SSGSS) provides a new sample of 101 star-forming galaxies at z < 0.2 with unprecedented multi-wavelength coverage. New mid- to far-infr…

Light echoes reveal an unexpectedly cool Eta Carinae during its 19th-century Great Eruption

A. Rest, J. L. Prieto, N. R. Walborn +14

Eta Carinae (Eta Car) is one of the most massive binary stars in the Milky Way. It became the second-brightest star in the sky during its mid-19th century "Great Eruption," but the…

Luminous and High Stellar Mass Candidate Galaxies at z ~ 8 Discovered in CANDELS

Haojing Yan, Steven L. Finkelstein, Kuang-Han Huang +26

One key goal of the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Assembly Near-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey is to track galaxy evolution back to z ~ 8. Its two-tiered "wide and deep"…

The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: Cosmological neutrino mass constraint from blue high-redshift galaxies

Signe Riemer-Sørensen, Chris Blake, David Parkinson +25

The absolute neutrino mass scale is currently unknown, but can be constrained from cosmology. The WiggleZ high redshift star-forming blue galaxy sample is less sensitive to systema…

First Results from Z-FOURGE: Discovery of a Candidate Cluster at z = 2.2 in COSMOS

Lee R. Spitler, Ivo Labbé, Karl Glazebrook +13

We report the first results from the Z-FOURGE survey: the discovery of a candidate galaxy cluster at z = 2.2 consisting of two compact overdensities with red galaxies detected at >…

Multiwavelength Characteristics of Period-Luminosity Relations

Barry F. Madore, Wendy L. Freedman

We present a physically motivated explanation for the observed, monotonic increase in slope, and the simultaneous (and also monotonic) decrease in the width/scatter of the Leavitt…
