Overview of the SDSS-IV MaNGA Survey: Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory
Kevin Bundy, Matthew A. Bershady, David R. Law +65
We present an overview of a new integral field spectroscopic survey called MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory), one of three core programs in the fourth-gen…
The Mass Profile and Shape of Bars in the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G): Search for an Age Indicator for Bars
Taehyun Kim, Kartik Sheth, Dimitri A. Gadotti +24
We have measured the radial light profiles and global shapes of bars using two-dimensional 3.6 image decompositions for 144 face-on barred galaxies from the Spitzer Survey of…
Globular Cluster Populations: First Results from SG Early-Type Galaxies
Dennis Zaritsky, Manuel Aravena, E. Athanassoula +14
Using 3.6m images of 97 early-type galaxies, we develop and verify methodology to measure globular cluster populations from the SG survey images. We find that 1) the ratio,…
Evidence for the concurrent growth of thick discs and central mass concentrations from SG imaging
Sébastien Comerón, Bruce G. Elmegreen, Heikki Salo +3
We have produced vertically integrated radial luminosity profiles of 69 edge-on galaxies from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG)…
Liverpool Telescope 2: a new robotic facility for rapid transient follow-up
C. M. Copperwheat, I. A. Steele, R. M. Barnsley +23
The Liverpool Telescope is one of the world's premier facilities for time domain astronomy. The time domain landscape is set to radically change in the coming decade, with surveys…
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG): Precise Stellar Mass Distributions from Automated Dust Correction at 3.6 microns
M. Querejeta, S. E. Meidt, E. Schinnerer +26
The mid-infrared is an optimal window to trace stellar mass in nearby galaxies and the 3.6 IRAC band has been exploited to this effect, but such mass estimates can be biased by…
