A Search For Star Formation in the Smith Cloud
David V. Stark, Ashley D. Baker, Sheila J. Kannappan
Motivated by the idea that a subset of HVCs trace dark matter substructure in the Local Group, we search for signs of star formation in the Smith Cloud, a nearby ~2x10^6 Msun HVC c…
Variable Stars in Metal-Rich Globular Clusters. IV. Long Period Variables in NGC 6496
Mohamad Abbas, Andrew Layden, Katherine Guldenschuh +6
We present VI-band photometry for stars in the metal-rich globular cluster NGC 6496. Our time-series data were cadenced to search for long period variables (LPVs) over a span of ne…
The warm, the excited, and the molecular gas: GRB 121024A shining through its star-forming galaxy
M. Friis, A. De Cia, T. Krühler +28
We present the first reported case of the simultaneous metallicity determination of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxy, from both afterglow absorption lines as well as strong emis…
The AIMSS Project II: Dynamical-to-Stellar Mass Ratios Across the Star Cluster - Galaxy Divide
Duncan A. Forbes, Mark A. Norris, Jay Strader +5
The previously clear division between small galaxies and massive star clusters is now occupied by objects called ultra compact dwarfs (UCDs) and compact ellipticals (cEs). Here we…
The SAMI Galaxy Survey: instrument specification and target selection
J. J. Bryant, M. S. Owers, A. S. G. Robotham +54
The SAMI Galaxy Survey will observe 3400 galaxies with the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral-field spectrograph (SAMI) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) in a 3-year survey whi…
The AIMSS Project I: Bridging the Star Cluster - Galaxy Divide
Mark A. Norris, Sheila J. Kannappan, Duncan A. Forbes +15
We describe the structural and kinematic properties of the first compact stellar systems discovered by the AIMSS project. These spectroscopically confirmed objects have sizes ($\si…
Accretion and Diffusion Timescales in Sheets and Filaments
Fabian Heitsch, Lee Hartmann
A comparison of accretion and (turbulent) magnetic diffusion timescales for sheets and filaments demonstrates that dense star-forming clouds generally will -- under realistic condi…
The formation of the W43 complex: constraining its atomic-to-molecular transition and searching for colliding clouds
F. Motte, Q. Nguyen Luong, N. Schneider +10
Numerical simulations have explored the possibility to form molecular clouds through either a quasi-static, self-gravitating mechanism or the collision of gas streams or lower-dens…
