Galaxy clustering in the NEWFIRM Medium Band Survey: the relationship between stellar mass and dark matter halo mass at 1 < z < 2
David A. Wake, Katherine E. Whitaker, Ivo Labbé +8
We present an analysis of the clustering of galaxies as a function of their stellar mass at 1 < z < 2 using data from the NEWFIRM Medium Band Survey (NMBS). The precise photometric…

(Abridged) We present a spatially-resolved near-UV/optical study of NGC 4150, using the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on board the Hubble Space Telescope. Previous studies of this ear…
Precision photometric monitoring of very low mass Sigma Orionis cluster members: variability and rotation at a few Myr
Ann Marie Cody, Lynne Hillenbrand
We present high-precision photometry on 107 variable low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the ~3 Myr Sigma Orionis open cluster. We have carried out I-band photometric monitoring wit…
Whole Earth Telescope Observations of the subdwarf B star KPD 1930+2752: A rich, short period pulsator in a close binary
M. D. Reed, S. L. Harms, S. Poindexter +58
KPD 1930+2752 is a short-period pulsating subdwarf B (sdB) star. It is also an ellipsoidal variable with a known binary period just over two hours. The companion is most likely a w…
The Exotic Eclipsing Nucleus of the Ring Planetary Nebula SuWt2
K. Exter, Howard E. Bond, Keivan G. Stassun +3
SuWt2 is a planetary nebula (PN) consisting of a bright ionized thin ring seen nearly edge-on. It has a bright (V=12) central star, too cool to ionize the PN, which we discovered t…
Chemical Abundances for 855 Giants in the Globular Cluster Omega Centauri (NGC 5139)
Christian I. Johnson, Catherine A. Pilachowski
We present elemental abundances for 855 red giant branch (RGB) stars in the globular cluster Omega Centauri (w Cen) from spectra obtained with the Blanco 4m telescope and Hydra mul…
A Stellar Rotation Census of B Stars: from ZAMS to TAMS
Wenjin Huang, Douglas R. Gies, M. Virginia McSwain
Two recent observing campaigns provide us with moderate dispersion spectra of more than 230 cluster and 370 field B stars. Combining them and the spectra of the B stars from our pr…
Hubble Space Telescope Imaging of Lyman Alpha Emission at z=4.4
Steven L. Finkelstein, Seth H. Cohen, Rogier A. Windhorst +28
We present the highest redshift detections of resolved Lyman alpha emission, using Hubble Space Telescope/ACS F658N narrowband-imaging data taken in parallel with the Wide Field Ca…
A New Small-Amplitude Variable Hot DQ White Dwarf
B. H. Dunlap, B. N. Barlow, J. C. Clemens
We present the discovery of photometric variations in the carbon-dominated atmosphere (hot DQ) white dwarf star SDSS J133710.19-002643.6. We find evidence for two low-amplitude, ha…
Near-infrared counterparts of Chandra X-ray sources toward the Galactic Center
Curtis DeWitt, Reba M. Bandyopadhyay, Stephen S. Eikenberry +4
The Chandra X-ray Observatory has now discovered nearly 10,000 X-ray point sources in the 2 x 0.8 degree region around the Galactic Center (Muno 2009). The sources are likely to be…
Progressive star formation in the young galactic super star cluster NGC 3603
Giacomo Beccari, Loredana Spezzi, Guido De Marchi +22
Early release science observations of the cluster NGC3603 with the WFC3 on the refurbished HST allow us to study its recent star formation history. Our analysis focuses on stars wi…
Two-dimensional solar spectropolarimetry with the KIS/IAA Visible Imaging Polarimeter
C. Beck, L. R. Bellot Rubio, T. J. Kentischer +2
Spectropolarimetry at high spatial and spectral resolution is a basic tool to characterize the magnetic properties of the solar atmosphere. We introduce the KIS/IAA Visible Imaging…
Theory of Dispersed Fixed-Delay Interferometry for Radial Velocity Exoplanet Searches
Julian C. van Eyken, Jian Ge, Suvrath Mahadevan
The dispersed fixed-delay interferometer (DFDI) represents a new instrument concept for high-precision radial velocity (RV) surveys for extrasolar planets. A combination of Michels…
The Membership and Distance of the Open Cluster Collinder 419
Lewis C. Roberts, Douglas R. Gies, J. Robert Parks +6
The young open cluster Collinder 419 surrounds the massive O star, HD 193322, that is itself a remarkable multiple star system containing at least four components. Here we present…
Yellow Supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC): Putting Current Evolutionary Theory to the Test
Kathryn F. Neugent, Philip Massey, Brian Skiff +3
The yellow supergiant content of nearby galaxies provides a critical test of massive star evolutionary theory. While these stars are the brightest in a galaxy, they are difficult t…
