A novel approach to understanding the link between supermassive black holes and host galaxies

Gabriel Sasseville, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Samantha C. Berek +5

The strongest and most universal scaling relation between a supermassive black hole and its host galaxy is known as the relation, where is the mass of the…

Discovery of Two Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies with Unusually Bright Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions via a Mark-Dependently Thinned Point Process (MATHPOP)

Dayi Li, Gwendolyn Eadie, Patrick Brown +8

We present \textsc{Mathpop}, a novel method to infer the globular cluster (GC) counts in ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) and low-surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs). Many known UDGs…

Should zeros count? Modeling the galaxy-globular cluster scaling relation with(out) zero-inflated count models

Samantha C. Berek, Gwendolyn M. Eadie, Joshua S. Speagle +1

The scaling relation between the size of a galaxy's globular cluster (GC) population () and the galaxy's stellar mass () is usually described with a continuous, linear…

Galactic properties that favour star cluster formation: a statistical view

Samantha C. Berek, Marta Reina-Campos, Gwendolyn Eadie +1

The presence or absence of star clusters in galaxies, and the properties of star cluster populations compared to their host galaxy properties, are important observables for validat…

The HERBAL model: A hierarchical errors-in-variables Bayesian lognormal hurdle model for galactic globular cluster populations

Samantha C. Berek, Gwendolyn M. Eadie, Joshua S. Speagle +1

Galaxy stellar mass is known to be monotonically related to the size of the galaxy's globular cluster (GC) population for Milky Way sized and larger galaxies. However, the relation…

Project AMIGA: The Circumgalactic Medium of Andromeda

Nicolas Lehner, Samantha C. Berek, J. Christopher Howk +22

Project AMIGA (Absorption Maps In the Gas of Andromeda) is a large ultraviolet Hubble Space Telescope program, which has assembled a sample of 43 QSOs that pierce the circumgalacti…
