A Statistical Study of H I Gas in Nearby Narrow-Line AGN-Hosting Galaxies

Yi-Nan Zhu, Hong Wu

As a quenching mechanism, AGN feedback could suppress on-going star formation in their host galaxies. On the basis of a sample of galaxies selected from ALFALFA HI survey, the depe…

Type Ia Supernova Distance Modulus Bias and Dispersion From K-correction Errors: A Direct Measurement Using Lightcurve Fits to Observed Spectral Time Series

C. Saunders, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +34

We estimate systematic errors due to K-corrections in standard photometric analyses of high redshift Type Ia supernovae. Errors due to K-correction occur when the spectral template…

The exclusion of a significant range of ages in a massive star cluster

Chengyuan Li, Richard de Grijs, Licai Deng

Stars spend most of their lifetimes on the main sequence in the Hertzsprung--Russell diagram. The extended main-sequence turn-off regions -- containing stars leaving the main seque…

The velocity distribution in the solar neighbourhood from the LAMOST pilot survey

Qiran Xia, Chao Liu, Yan Xu +5

We use about 15,000 F/G nearby dwarf stars selected from the LAMOST pilot survey to map the U-V velocity distribution in the solar neighbourhood. An extreme deconvolution algorithm…

Universal scaling of the 3:2 twin-peak quasi-periodic oscillation frequencies with black hole mass and spin revisited

Xin-Lin Zhou, Weimin Yuan, Hai-Wu Pan +1

We discuss further observational support of an idea formulated a decade ago by Abramowicz, Klu{ź}niak, McClintock and Remillard. They demonstrated that the 3:2 pairs of frequencies…
