High-Resolution Measurements of the Halos of Four Dark Matter-Dominated Galaxies: Deviations from a Universal Density Profile
Joshua D. Simon, Alberto D. Bolatto, Adam Leroy +2
We derive rotation curves for four nearby, low-mass spiral galaxies and use them to constrain the shapes of their dark matter density profiles. This analysis is based on high-resol…
The Centers of Early-Type Galaxies with HST. V. New WFPC2 Photometry
Tod R. Lauer, S. M. Faber, Karl Gebhardt +14
We analyze HST+WFPC2 images of 77 early-type galaxies. Brightness profiles are classed into "core" or "power-law" forms. Cores are typically rounder than power-law galaxies. Nearly…

We report on the precise localization of the low mass X-ray binaries X1624-490 and X1702-429 with the Chandra HRC-I. We determine the best positions to be 16:28:02.825 -49:11:54.61…
Opening the Treasure Chest: A Newborn Star Cluster Emerges from its Dust Pillar in Carina
Nathan Smith, Keivan G. Stassun, John Bally
We present detailed observations of the Treasure Chest, a compact nebula at the head of a dust pillar in the southern Carina nebula. This object is of interest because it is an exa…
The Massive Runaway Stars HD 14633 and HD 15137
T. S. Boyajian, T. D. Beaulieu, D. R. Gies +6
We present results from a radial velocity study of two runaway O-type stars, HD 14633 (ON8.5 V) and HD 15137 (O9.5 III(n)). We find that HD 14633 is a single-lined spectroscopic bi…
Physical Properties of Spicules from Simultaneous Spectro-Polarimetric Observations of He I and Ca II Lines
H. Socas-Navarro, D. Ellmore
We present full Stokes observations from SPINOR in the \ion{Ca}{2} infrared triplet and the \ion{He}{1} multiplet at 1083 nm from which some properties of spicules have been derive…
The CIDA Variability Survey of Orion OB1. I: the low-mass population of Ori OB 1a and 1b
Cesar Briceno, Nuria Calvet, Jesus Hernandez +4
We present results of a large scale, multi-epoch optical survey of the Ori OB1 association, carried out with the QuEST camera at the Venezuela National Astronomical Observatory. We…

B. J. Anthony-Twarog, J. Atwell, B. A. Twarog
CCD photometry on the intermediate-band uvbyCaHbeta system is presented for the metal-deficient open cluster, NGC 2243. Restricting the data to probable single members of the clust…
A Deep Radio Survey of Abell 2125 II: Accelerated Galaxy Evolution during a Cluster-Cluster Merger
F. N. Owen, M. J. Ledlow, W. C. Keel +2
Using our extensive radio, optical, near-IR and X-ray imaging and spectroscopy, we consider the reason for the unusually large number of radio detected galaxies, mostly found outsi…
