The wide-field, multiplexed, spectroscopic facility WEAVE: Survey design, overview, and simulated implementation

Shoko Jin, Scott C. Trager, Gavin B. Dalton +212

WEAVE, the new wide-field, massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey facility for the William Herschel Telescope, will see first light in late 2022. WEAVE comprises a new 2-degree…

The IMF-sensitive 1.14-micron Na I doublet in early-type galaxies

Russell J. Smith, Padraig Alton, John R. Lucey +2

We present J-band spectroscopy of passive galaxies focusing on the Na I doublet at 1.14 μm. Like the Na I 0.82 μm doublet, this feature is strong in low-mass stars and hence may pr…

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 HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey. X. Nuclear star clusters in low-mass early-type galaxies: scaling relations

Mark den Brok, Reynier F. Peletier, Anil Seth +16

We present scaling relations between structural properties of nuclear star clusters and their host galaxies for a sample of early-type dwarf galaxies observed as part of the Hubble…

The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey - VII. Structure and Assembly of Massive Galaxies in the Center of the Coma Cluster

Tim Weinzirl, Shardha Jogee, Eyal Neistein +16

We constrain the assembly history of galaxies in the projected central 0.5 Mpc of the Coma cluster by performing structural decomposition on 69 massive (M_star >= 10^9 M_sun) galax…

The stellar initial mass function in red-sequence galaxies: 1-micron spectroscopy of Coma Cluster galaxies with Subaru/FMOS

Russell J. Smith, John R. Lucey, David Carter

To investigate possible variations in the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in red-sequence galaxies, we have obtained infrared spectroscopy with Subaru/FMOS for a sample of 92 r…
