Star Clusters in M31: I. A Catalog and a Study of the Young Clusters
Nelson Caldwell, Paul Harding, Heather Morrison +3
We present an updated catalog of 1300 objects in the field of M31, including 670 likely star clusters of various types. Archival images were inspected to confirm cluster classifica…
Spectrophotometry with Hectospec, the MMT's Fiber-Fed Spectrograph
Daniel G. Fabricant, Michael J. Kurtz, Margaret J. Geller +2
We describe techniques for photometric calibration of optical spectra obtained with the MMT's fiber-fed spectrograph, Hectospec. The atmospheric dispersion compensation prisms buil…
Optical Spectroscopy of Type Ia Supernovae
T. Matheson, R. P. Kirshner, P. Challis +19
We present 432 low-dispersion optical spectra of 32 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that also have well-calibrated light curves. The coverage ranges from 6 epochs to 36 epochs of spect…
Low Resolution Spectral Templates For Galaxies From 0.2 -- 10 microns
R. J. Assef, C. S. Kochanek, M. Brodwin +11
We built an optimal basis of low resolution templates for galaxies over the wavelength range from 0.2 to 10 m using a variant of the algorithm presented by Budavari et al. (2000…
The Local Galaxy 8 micron Luminosity Function
J. -S. Huang, M. L. N. Ashby, P. Barmby +18
A SST survey in the NOAO Deep-Wide Field in Boötes provides a complete, 8-micron-selected sample of galaxies to a limiting (Vega) magnitude of 13.5. In the 6.88 deg field sampl…
H-delta in the Integrated Light of Galaxies: What Are We Actually Measuring?
L. C. Prochaska, J. A. Rose, N. Caldwell +5
We present a cautionary study exploring the reliability of the H-delta line in the integrated spectra of galaxies for determining galaxy ages. Our database consists of the observed…
