The Structure of a Low-Metallicity Giant Molecular Cloud Complex
A. K. Leroy, A. Bolatto, C. Bot +6
To understand the impact of low metallicities on giant molecular cloud (GMC) structure, we compare far infrared dust emission, CO emission, and dynamics in the star-forming complex…
Color Distributions, Number and Mass Densities of Massive Galaxies at 1.5 < z < 3: Comparing Observations with Merger Simulations
Stijn Wuyts, Marijn Franx, Thomas J. Cox +9
We present a comparison between the observed color distribution, number and mass density of massive galaxies at 1.5 < z < 3 and a model by Hopkins et al. that relates the quasar an…
Binary dynamics near a massive black hole
Clovis Hopman
We analyze the dynamical evolution of binary stars that interact with a static background of single stars in the environment of a massive black hole (MBH). All stars are considered…
Topological Defects in Gravitational Lensing Shear Fields
Vincenzo Vitelli, Bhuvnesh Jain, Randall D. Kamien
Shear fields due to weak gravitational lensing have characteristic coherent patterns. We describe the topological defects in shear fields in terms of the curvature of the surface d…
The Spitzer Deep, Wide-Field Survey
M. L. N. Ashby, D. Stern, M. Brodwin +30
The Spitzer Deep, Wide-Field Survey (SDWFS) is a four-epoch infrared survey of ten square degrees in the Bootes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey using the IRAC instrument o…
The Origin of Extended Disk Galaxies at z=2
Laura V. Sales, Julio F. Navarro, Joop Schaye +4
Galaxy formation models typically assume that the size and rotation speed of galaxy disks are largely dictated by the mass, concentration, and spin of their surrounding dark matter…
