Effects of baryon removal on the structure of dwarf spheroidal galaxies
Kenza S. Arraki, Anatoly Klypin, Surhud More +1
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are extremely gas-poor, dark matter-dominated galaxies, which make them ideal to test the predictions of the cold dark matter (CDM) model. We argu…
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Luminosity and Color Dependence and Redshift Evolution
Hong Guo, Idit Zehavi, Zheng Zheng +40
We measure the luminosity and color dependence and the redshift evolution of galaxy clustering in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Ninth Dat…
Modeling the distribution of Mg II absorbers around galaxies using Background Galaxies & Quasars

We present joint constraints on the distribution of MgII absorption around galaxies, by combining the MgII absorption seen in stacked background galaxy spectra and the distribution…
MAGIICAT II. General Characteristics of the MgII Absorbing Circumgalactic Medium
Nikole M. Nielsen, Christopher W. Churchill, Glenn G. Kacprzak
We examine the MgII absorbing circumgalactic medium (CGM) for the 182 intermediate redshift (0.072 < z < 1.120) galaxies in the "MgII Absorber-Galaxy Catalog" (MAGIICAT, Nielsen et…
The Self-Similarity of the Circumgalactic Medium with Galaxy Virial Mass: Implications for Cold-Mode Accretion
Christopher W. Churchill, Nikole M. Nielsen, Glenn G. Kacprzak +1
We apply halo abundance matching to obtain galaxy virial masses, M_h, and radii, Rvir, for the 183 isolated galaxies in the "MgII Absorber-Galaxy Catalog" (MAGIICAT, Nielsen et al.…
The velocity shear tensor: tracer of halo alignment
Noam I. Libeskind, Yehuda Hoffman, Jaime Forero-Romero +4
The alignment of DM halos and the surrounding large scale structure (LSS) is examined in the context of the cosmic web. Halo spin, shape and the orbital angular momentum of subhalo…
The Nature of Starbursts: III. The Spatial Distribution of Star Formation
Kristen B. W. McQuinn, Evan D. Skillman, Julianne J. Dalcanton +5
We map the spatial distribution of recent star formation over a few x 100 Myr timescales in fifteen starburst dwarf galaxies using the location of young blue helium burning stars i…
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: constraints on the time variation of fundamental constants from the large-scale two-point correlation function
Claudia G. Scóccola, Ariel G. Sánchez, J. A. Rubiño-Martin +14
We obtain constraints on the variation of the fundamental constants from the full shape of the redshift-space correlation function of a sample of luminous galaxies drawn from the D…
Discovery of Multi-Phase Cold Accretion in a Massive Galaxy at z=0.7
Glenn G. Kacprzak, Christopher W. Churchill, Charles C. Steidel +2
We present detailed photo+collisional ionization models and kinematic models of the multi-phase absorbing gas, detected within the HST/COS, HST/STIS, and Keck/HIRES spectra of the…
A Precision Photometric Comparison between SDSS-II and CSP Type Ia Supernova Data
J. Mosher, M. Sako, L. Corlies +10
Consistency between Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP) and SDSS-II supernova (SN) survey ugri measurements has been evaluated by comparing SDSS and CSP photometry for nine spectrosco…
Continuum Halos in Nearby Galaxies -- an EVLA Survey (CHANG-ES) -- I: Introduction to the Survey
Judith Irwin, Rainer Beck, R. A. Benjamin +19
We introduce a new survey to map the radio continuum halos of a sample of 35 edge-on spiral galaxies at 1.5 GHz and 6 GHz in all polarization products. The survey is exploiting the…
Stellar Populations of Lyman Break Galaxies at z=1-3 in the HST/WFC3 Early Release Science Observations
N. P. Hathi, S. H. Cohen, R. E. Ryan +24
We analyze the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at z=1-3 selected using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) UVIS channel…
Observational Constraints on the Molecular Gas Content in Nearby Starburst Dwarf Galaxies
Kristen. B. W. McQuinn, Evan D. Skillman, Julianne J. Dalcanton +5
Using star formation histories derived from optically resolved stellar populations in nineteen nearby starburst dwarf galaxies observed with the Hubble Space Telescope, we measure…
Quenched Cold Accretion of a Large Scale Metal-Poor Filament due to Virial Shocking in the Halo of a Massive z=0.7 Galaxy
Christopher W. Churchill, Glenn G. Kacprzak, Charles C. Steidel +4
Using HST/COS/STIS and HIRES/Keck high-resolution spectra, we have studied a remarkable HI absorbing complex at z=0.672 toward the quasar Q1317+277. The HI absorption has a velocit…
Tracing Outflows and Accretion: A Bimodal Azimuthal Dependence of MgII Absorption
G. G. Kacprzak, C. W. Churchill, N. M. Nielsen
We report a bimodality in the azimuthal angle distribution of gas around galaxies as traced by MgII absorption: Halo gas prefers to exist near the projected galaxy major and minor…
