On the Stellar Populations and Evolution of Star-Forming Galaxies at 6.3 < z < 8.6
Steven L. Finkelstein, Casey Papovich, Mauro Giavalisco +4
We study the physical characteristics of galaxies at 6.3 < z < 8.6, selected from deep near-infrared imaging with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on board the Hubble Space Telescope…
Exoplanet Characterization and the Search for Life
J. Kasting, W. Traub, A. Roberge +119
Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmo…
Large Area Survey for z=7 Galaxies in SDF and GOODS-N: Implications for Galaxy Formation and Cosmic Reionization
Masami Ouchi, Bahram Mobasher, Kazuhiro Shimasaku +10
We present results of our large-area survey for z'-band dropout galaxies at z=7 in a 1568 arcmin^2 sky area covering the SDF and GOODS-N fields. Combining our ultra-deep Subaru/Sup…
Cepheid Calibrations of Modern Type Ia Supernovae:Implications for the Hubble Constant
Adam G. Riess, Lucas Macri, Weidong Li +9
This is the first of two papers reporting measurements from a program to determine the Hubble constant to 5% precision from a refurbished distance ladder. We present new observatio…
A Redetermination of the Hubble Constant with the Hubble Space Telescope from a Differential Distance Ladder
Adam G. Riess, Lucas Macri, Stefano Casertano +8
We report observations of 240 Cepheid variables obtained with the Near Infrared Camera (NICMOS) through the F160W filter on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The Cepheids are distr…
Wide-Field Astronomical Surveys in the Next Decade
M. A. Strauss, J. A. Tyson, S. F. Anderson +28
Wide-angle surveys have been an engine for new discoveries throughout the modern history of astronomy, and have been among the most highly cited and scientifically productive obser…
Strong gravitational lensing probes of the particle nature of dark matter
Leonidas A. Moustakas, Kevork Abazajian, Andrew Benson +44
There is a vast menagerie of plausible candidates for the constituents of dark matter, both within and beyond extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Each of these ca…
