IN-SYNC II: Virial Stars from Sub-Virial Cores -- The Velocity Dispersion of Embedded Pre-Main-Sequence Stars in NGC 1333
Jonathan B. Foster, Michiel Cottaar, Kevin R. Covey +14
The initial velocity dispersion of newborn stars is a major unconstrained aspect of star formation theory. Using near-infrared spectra obtained with the APOGEE spectrograph, we sho…
The power spectrum of the Milky Way: Velocity fluctuations in the Galactic disk
Jo Bovy, Jonathan C. Bird, Ana E. García Pérez +3
We investigate the kinematics of stars in the mid-plane of the Milky Way on scales between 25 pc and 10 kpc with data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experimen…
Reverberation Mapping of the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 7469
B. M. Peterson, C. J. Grier, Keith Horne +43
A large reverberation mapping study of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 7469 has yielded emission-line lags for Hbeta 4861 and He II 4686 and a central black hole mass measurement of about…
Tracing chemical evolution over the extent of the Milky Way's Disk with APOGEE Red Clump Stars
David L. Nidever, Jo Bovy, Jonathan C. Bird +40
We employ the first two years of data from the near-infrared, high-resolution SDSS-III/APOGEE spectroscopic survey to investigate the distribution of metallicity and alpha-element…
Growth and activity of black holes in galaxy mergers with varying mass ratios
Pedro R. Capelo, Marta Volonteri, Massimo Dotti +3
We study supermassive black holes (BHs) in merging galaxies, using a suite of hydrodynamical simulations with very high spatial (~10 pc) and temporal (~1 Myr) resolution, where we…
The Spatial Distribution of Satellite Galaxies Within Halos: Measuring the Very Small Scale Angular Clustering of SDSS Galaxies
Jennifer A. Piscionere, Andreas A. Berlind, Cameron K. McBride +1
We measure the angular clustering of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 in order to probe the spatial distribution of satellite galaxies within their dark ma…
