Probing the polarization characteristics of SS433 on mas scales

Z. Paragi, R. C. Vermeulen, D. C. Homan +5

We present a status report of dedicated circular polarization (CP) global VLBI observations of SS433. The total intensity image of the source is presented. We do not detect linear…

Using Weak Lensing to find Halo Masses

Roland de Putter, Martin White

Since the strength of weak gravitational lensing is proportional to the mass along the line of sight, it might be possible to use lensing data to find the masses of individual dark…

The Luminosity Functions of the Galaxy Cluster MS1054-0321 at z=0.83 based on ACS Photometry

Tomotsugu Goto, Marc Postman, Nicholas J. G. Cross +41

We present new measurements of the galaxy luminosity function (LF) and its dependence on local galaxy density, color, morphology, and clustocentric radius for the massive z=0.83 cl…

The Transformation of Cluster Galaxies at Intermeidate Redshift

N. L. Homeier, R. Demarco, P. Rosati +17

We combine imaging data from the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) with VLT/FORS optical spectroscopy to study the properties of star-forming galaxies in the z=0.837 cluster CL0152…

The Nuclear Orbital Distribution in Galaxies as Fossil Record of Black Hole Formation from Integral-Field Spectroscopy

Michele Cappellari, Richard McDermid

In the past decade, most effort in the study of supermassive black holes (BHs) has been devoted to measuring their masses. This lead to the finding of the tight M_BH-sigma relation…

On the X-ray emission of z~2 radio galaxies: IC scattering of the CMB & no evidence for fully-formed potential wells

R. A. Overzier, D. E. Harris, C. L. Carilli +3

We present the results of 20 ksec Chandra observations for each of 5 radio galaxies in the redshift range 2.0 < z < 2.6. For 4 of the 5 targets we detect unresolved X-ray component…
