Measuring the dynamical length of galactic bars

Michael S. Petersen, Martin D. Weinberg, Neal Katz

We define a physically-motivated measure for galactic bar length, called the dynamical length. The dynamical length of the bar corresponds to the radial extent of the orbits that a…

ELUCID VII: Using Constrained Hydro Simulations to Explore the Gas Component of the Cosmic Web

Renjie Li, Huiyuan Wang, H. J. Mo +8

Using reconstructed initial conditions in the SDSS survey volume, we carry out constrained hydrodynamic simulations in three regions representing different types of the cosmic web:…

LADUMA: Discovery of a luminous OH megamaser at

Marcin Glowacki, Jordan D. Collier, Amir Kazemi-Moridani +65

In the local Universe, OH megamasers (OHMs) are detected almost exclusively in infrared-luminous galaxies, with a prevalence that increases with IR luminosity, suggesting that they…

The Bimodal Absorption System Imaging Campaign (BASIC) I. A Dual Population of Low-metallicity Absorbers at z

Michelle A. Berg, Nicolas Lehner, J. Christopher Howk +17

The bimodal absorption system imaging campaign (BASIC) aims to characterize the galaxy environments of a sample of 36 HI-selected partial Lyman limit systems (pLLSs) and Lyman limi…

High Molecular-Gas to Dust Mass Ratios Predicted in Most Quiescent Galaxies

Katherine E. Whitaker, Desika Narayanan, Christina C. Williams +15

Observations of cold molecular gas reservoirs are critical for understanding the shutdown of star formation in massive galaxies. While dust continuum is an efficient and affordable…

MAHGIC: A Model Adapter for the Halo-Galaxy Inter-Connection

Yangyao Chen, H. J. Mo, Cheng Li +5

We develop a model to establish the interconnection between galaxies and their dark matter halos. We use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to reduce the dimensionality of both the…
