Addressing Decadal Survey Science through Community Access to Highly Multiplexed Spectroscopy with BigBOSS on the KPNO Mayall Telescope
Caty Pilachowski, Carles Badenes, Stephen Bailey +87
This document summarizes the results of a community-based discussion of the potential science impact of the Mayall+BigBOSS highly multiplexed multi-object spectroscopic capability.…
Very Massive Stars and the Eddington Limit
Paul A. Crowther, R. Hirschi, Nolan R. Walborn +1
We use contemporary evolutionary models for Very Massive Stars (VMS) to assess whether the Eddington limit constrains the upper stellar mass limit. We also consider the interplay b…
The History of Star Formation in Galaxies
Thomas M. Brown, Marc Postman, Daniela Calzetti
If we are to develop a comprehensive and predictive theory of galaxy formation and evolution, it is essential that we obtain an accurate assessment of how and when galaxies assembl…
Unique Astrophysics in the Lyman Ultraviolet
Jason Tumlinson, Alessandra Aloisi, Gerard Kriss +24
There is unique and groundbreaking science to be done with a new generation of UV spectrographs that cover wavelengths in the "Lyman Ultraviolet" (LUV; 912 - 1216 Ang). There is no…
Massive Stars: Key to Solving the Cosmic Puzzle
Aida Wofford, Claus Leitherer, Nolan R. Walborn +8
We describe observations in the nearby universe (<100 Mpc) with a 10-m or larger space-based telescope having imaging and spectral capabilities in the range 912-9000 Åthat would en…
