Star-Forming Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey -- The View from Pittsburgh
Regina E. Schulte-Ladbeck, Christopher J. Miller, Ulrich Hopp +4
We used data from the Data Release 1 (DR1) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in order to define a catalog of about 13,000 star-forming galaxies (SFG). We discuss the results o…
The Environment of AGNs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Christopher J. Miller, Robert C. Nichol, Percy Gomez +2
We present the observed fraction of galaxies with an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) as a function of environment in the Early Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Us…
Limits on thermal conduction in galaxy clusters
Mikhail V. Medvedev, Adrian L. Melott, Chris Miller +1
We have calculated lower limits for the global effective thermal conductivity in a sample of 165 Abell clusters. We assumed that cluster X-ray luminosity is compensated by a conduc…
The Interplay of Cluster and Galaxy Evolution
Robert C. Nichol, Christopher J. Miller, Tomotsugu Goto
We review here the interplay of cluster and galaxy evolution. As a case study, we consider the Butcher-Oemler effect and propose that it is the result of the changing rate of clust…
Eccentricity Evolution in Simulated Galaxy Clusters
Stephen Floor, Adrian Melott, Christopher Miller +1
Strong cluster eccentricity evolution for has appeared in a variety of observational data sets. We examine the evolution of eccentricity in simulated galaxy clusters u…
The Environment of Passive Spiral Galaxies in the SDSS
Tomotsugu Goto, Sadanori Okamura, Maki Sekiguchi +15
In previous work on galaxy clusters, several authors reported a discovery of an unusual population of galaxies, which have spiral morphologies, but do not show any star formation a…
The Morphological Butcher-Oemler effect in the SDSS Cut&Enhance Galaxy Cluster Catalog
Tomotsugu Goto, Sadanori Okamura, Masafumi Yagi +14
We investigate the evolution of the fractions of late type cluster galaxies as a function of redshift, using one of the largest, most uniform cluster samples available. The sample…
