Fading AGN Candidates: AGN Histories and Outflow Signatures
William C. Keel, Chris J. Lintott, W. Peter Maksym +12
We consider energy budgets and radiative history of 8 fading AGN, identified from mismatch between the ionizion of very extended (>10 kpc) ionized clouds and the luminosity of the…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: environmental dependence of stellar age and metallicity gradients in nearby galaxies
Zheng Zheng, Huiyuan Wang, Junqiang Ge +20
We present a study on the stellar age and metallicity distributions for 1105 galaxies using the STARLIGHT software on MaNGA integral field spectra. We derive age and metallicity gr…
Very Thin Disc Galaxies in The SDSS Catalog of Edge-on Galaxies
D. V. Bizyaev, S. J. Kautsch, N. Ya. Sotnikova +2
We study the properties of galaxies with very thin discs using a sample of 85 objects whose stellar disc radial-to-vertical scale ratio determined from photometric decomposition, e…
Gas Accretion and Galactic Chemical Evolution: Theory and Observations
Kristian Finlator
This chapter reviews how galactic inflows influence galaxy metallicity. The goal is to discuss predictions from theoretical models, but particular emphasis is placed on the insight…
Spectral Evolution in High Redshift Quasars from the Final BOSS Sample
Trey W. Jensen, M. Vivek, Kyle S. Dawson +17
We report on the diversity in quasar spectra from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. After filtering the spectra to mitigate selection effects and Malmquist bias associat…
The Highly Ionized Circumgalactic Medium is Kinematically Uniform Around Galaxies
Nikole M. Nielsen, Glenn G. Kacprzak, Sowgat Muzahid +3
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) traced by OVI doublet absorption has been found to concentrate along the projected major and minor axes of the host galaxies. This su…
Mapping the Polarization of the Radio-Loud Ly Nebula B3 J2330+3927
Chang You, Ann Zabludoff, Paul Smith +6
Lya nebulae, or "Lya blobs", are extended (up to ~100 kpc), bright (L[Lya] > 10^43 erg/s) clouds of Lya emitting gas that tend to lie in overdense regions at z ~ 2--5. The origin o…
APOGEE Chemical Abundances of Globular Cluster Giants in the Inner Galaxy
Ricardo P. Schiavon, Jennifer A. Johnson, Peter M. Frinchaboy +27
We report chemical abundances obtained by SDSS-III/APOGEE for giant stars in five globular clusters located within 2.2 kpc of the Galactic centre. We detect the presence of multipl…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Properties of galaxies with kinematically decoupled stellar and gaseous components
Yifei Jin, Yanmei Chen, Yong Shi +30
We study the properties of 66 galaxies with kinematically misaligned gas and stars from MaNGA survey. The fraction of kinematically misaligned galaxies varies with galaxy physical…
The growth of the central region by acquisition of counter-rotating gas in star-forming galaxies
Yan-Mei Chen, Yong Shi, Christy A. Tremonti +29
Galaxies grow through both internal and external processes. In about 10% of nearby red galaxies with little star formation, gas and stars are counter-rotating, demonstrating the im…
Galaxy clustering dependence on the emission line luminosity in the local Universe
Ginevra Favole, Sergio A. Rodríguez-Torres, Johan Comparat +4
We study the galaxy clustering dependence on the emission line luminosity in the SDSS DR7 Main galaxy sample at mean redshift . W…
Quasars Probing Galaxies: I. Signatures of Gas Accretion at Redshift Approximately 0.2
Stephanie H. Ho, Crystal L. Martin, Glenn G. Kacprzak +1
We describe the kinematics of circumgalactic gas near the galactic plane, combining new measurements of galaxy rotation curves and spectroscopy of background quasars. The sightline…
The Diversity of Diffuse Ly Nebulae around Star-Forming Galaxies at High Redshift
Rui Xue, Kyoung-Soo Lee, Arjun Dey +6
We report the detection of diffuse Ly emission, or Ly halos (LAHs), around star-forming galaxies at and in the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey Boötes field.…
Two Groups of Red Giants with Distinct Chemical Abundances in the Bulge Globular Cluster NGC 6553 Through the Eyes of APOGEE
Baitian Tang, Roger E. Cohen, Doug Geisler +18
Multiple populations revealed in globular clusters (GCs) are important windows to the formation and evolution of these stellar systems. The metal-rich GCs in the Galactic bulge are…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: A serendipitous observation of a potential gas accretion event
Edmond Cheung, David V. Stark, Song Huang +24
The nature of warm, ionized gas outside of galaxies may illuminate several key galaxy evolutionary processes. A serendipitous observation by the MaNGA survey has revealed a large,…
The AGORA High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. II: Isolated Disk Test
Ji-hoon Kim, Oscar Agertz, Romain Teyssier +40
Using an isolated Milky Way-mass galaxy simulation, we compare results from 9 state-of-the-art gravito-hydrodynamics codes widely used in the numerical community. We utilize the in…
The Minimum Halo Mass for Star Formation at z = 6 - 8
K. Finlator, M. K. M. Prescott, B. D. Oppenheimer +6
Recent analysis of strongly-lensed sources in the Hubble Frontier Fields indicates that the rest-frame UV luminosity function of galaxies at 6--8 rises as a power law down to $…
SDSS IV MaNGA: The global and local stellar mass assemby histories of galaxies
Héctor J. Ibarra-Medel, Sebastián F. Sánchez, Vladimir Avila-Reese +10
By means of the fossil record method implemented through Pipe3D, we reconstruct the global and radial stellar mass growth histories (MGHs) of an unprecedentedly large sample of gal…
