Galaxies Probing Galaxies in PRIMUS - I. Sample, Spectroscopy, and Characteristics of the z~0.5 MgII-Absorbing Circumgalactic Medium

Kate H. R. Rubin, Aleksandar M. Diamond-Stanic, Alison L. Coil +2

Spectroscopy of background QSO sightlines passing close to foreground galaxies is a potent technique for studying the circumgalactic medium (CGM). QSOs are effectively point source…

Crowded Field Galaxy Photometry: Precision Colors in the CLASH Clusters

Thomas Connor, Megan Donahue, Daniel D. Kelson +8

We present a new method for photometering objects in galaxy clusters. We introduce a mode-filtering technique for removing spatially variable backgrounds, improving both detection…

Determining the Halo Mass Scale where Galaxies Lose Their Gas

Gregory Rudnick, Pascale Jablonka, John Moustakas +9

A major question in galaxy formation is how the gas supply that fuels activity in galaxies is modulated by their environment. We use spectroscopy of a set of well characterized clu…

Young Galaxy Candidates in the Hubble Frontier Fields IV. MACS J1149.5+2223

W. Zheng, A. Zitrin, L. Infante +11

We search for high-redshift dropout galaxies behind the Hubble Frontier Fields (HFF) galaxy cluster MACS J1149.5+2223, a powerful cosmic lens that has revealed a number of unique o…
