Inward Bound: The incredible journey of massive black holes as they pair and merge; I. The effect of mass ratio in flattened rotating galactic nuclei

Fazeel Mahmood Khan, Muhammad Awais Mirza, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann

Understanding how supermassive black holes (SMBHs) pair and merge helps to inform predictions of off-center, dual, and binary AGN, and provides key insights into how SMBHs grow and…

Angular momentum and morphological sequence of massive galaxies through Dark Sage

Antonio J. Porras-Valverde, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Andreas A. Berlind +1

We study the present-day connection between galaxy morphology and angular momentum using the {\sc Dark Sage} semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. For galaxies between $ 10^{11}…

Milky Way Analogues in MaNGA: Multi-Parameter Homogeneity and Comparison to the Milky Way

Nicholas Fraser Boardman, Gail Zasowski, Anil Seth +15

The Milky Way provides an ideal laboratory to test our understanding of galaxy evolution, owing to our ability to observe our Galaxy over fine scales. However, connecting the Galax…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. VIII. Time Variability of Emission and Absorption in NGC 5548 Based on Modeling the Ultraviolet Spectrum

G. A. Kriss, G. De Rosa, J. Ely +164

We model the ultraviolet spectra of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC~5548 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope during the 6-month reverberation-mapping campaign in 2014. Our model of t…

The structure of the Orion Nebula in the direction of Theta 1 Ori C

N. P. Abel, G. J. Ferland, C. R. O'Dell

We have used existing optical emission and absorption lines, [C II] emission lines, and H I absorption lines to create a new model for a Central Column of material near the Trapezi…

Addressing the [O III]/H\b{eta} Offset of Dwarf Galaxies in the RESOLVE Survey

Chris T. Richardson, Mugdha S. Polimera, Sheila J. Kannappan +2

Metal poor dwarf galaxies in the local universe, such as those found in the RESOLVE galaxy survey, often produce high [O III]/H\b{eta} ratios close to the star forming demarcation…

Prediction of galaxy halo masses in SDSS DR7 via a machine learning approach

Victor F. Calderon, Andreas A. Berlind

We present a machine learning (ML) approach for the prediction of galaxies' dark matter halo masses that achieves an improved performance over conventional methods. We train three…
