Evidence for Inconsistencies in Galaxy Luminosity Functions Defined by Spectral Type
C. S. Kochanek, M. A. Pahre, E. E. Falco
Galaxy morphological and spectroscopic types should be nearly independent of apparent magnitude in a local, magnitude-limited sample. Recent luminosity function surveys based on mo…
The Extremely Red Objects Found Thus Far in the Caltech Faint Galaxy Redshift Survey
Judith G. Cohen, David W. Hogg, Roger Blandford +2
We discuss the very red objects found in the first field of the Caltech Faint Galaxy Redshift Survey, for which the observations and analysis are now complete. In this field, which…
BIMA and Keck Imaging of the Radio Ring PKS 1830-211
B. L. Frye, F. Courbin, T. Broadhurst +5
We discuss BIMA (Berkeley Illinois Maryland Association) data and present new high quality optical and near-IR Keck images of the bright radio ring PKS 1830-211. Applying a powerfu…
Cataloging of the Digitized POSS-II, and Some Initial Scientific Results From It
S. G. Djorgovski, R. R. de Carvalho, R. R. Gal +3
We are conducting an effort to catalog all sources detected in the digitized POSS-II (DPOSS). This is now becoming an international collaboration including Caltech and the Observat…
Observational Constraints on the Origins of the Fundamental Plane
M. A. Pahre, S. G. Djorgovski
We review the concept of the Fundamental Plane (FP), and present new results on the near-infrared FP. We show that the K-band FP differs both from the optical form and the virial e…
