The Lopsidedness of Present-Day Galaxies: Connections to the Formation of Stars, the Chemical Evolution of Galaxies, and the Growth of Black Holes

Timothy A. Reichard, Timothy M. Heckman, Gregory Rudnick +3

We have used the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to undertake an investigation of lopsidedness in a sample of ~25,000 nearby galaxies (z < 0.06). We use the m=1 azimuthal Fourier m…

The Lopsidedness of Present-Day Galaxies: Results from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Timothy A. Reichard, Timothy M. Heckman, Gregory Rudnick +2

Large-scale asymmetries in the stellar mass distribution in galaxies are believed to trace non-equilibrium situations in the luminous and/or dark matter component. These may arise…

Bursty stellar populations and obscured AGN in galaxy bulges

Vivienne Wild, Guinevere Kauffmann, Tim Heckman +5

[Abridged] We investigate trends between the recent star formation history and black hole growth in galaxy bulges in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The galaxies lie at 0.01<z…
