An Assessment of Broadband Optical Colours as Age Indicators for Star Clusters
M. Hancock, B. J. Smith, M. L. Giroux +1
We present an empirical assessment of the use of broadband optical colours as age indicators for unresolved extragalactic clusters and investigate stochastic sampling effects on in…
Stochastic `Beads on a String' in the Accretion Tail of Arp 285
B. J. Smith, C. Struck, M. Hancock +6
We present Spitzer infrared, GALEX UV, and SDSS and SARA optical images of the peculiar interacting galaxy pair Arp 285 (NGC 2856/4), and compare with a new numerical model of the…
The Metallicity of Intergalactic Gas in Cosmic Voids
John T. Stocke, Charles W. Danforth, J. Michael Shull +2
We have used the Hubble/STIS and FUSE archives of ultraviolet spectra of bright AGN to identify intergalactic Lya absorbers in nearby (z < 0.1) voids. From a parent sample of 651 L…
Metallicity and Ionization in High Velocity Cloud Complex C
J. A. Collins, J. M. Shull, M. L. Giroux
We analyze HST and FUSE ultraviolet spectroscopic data for eleven sight lines passing through the infalling high velocity cloud (HVC) Complex C. These sight lines pass through regi…
Large-scale Star Formation Triggering in the Low-mass Arp 82 System: A Nearby Example of Galaxy Downsizing Based on UV/Optical/Mid-IR Imaging
Mark Hancock, Beverly J. Smith, Curtis Struck +4
As part of our Spitzer Spirals, Bridges, and Tails project to help understand the effects of galaxy interactions on star formation, we analyze GALEX ultraviolet, SARA optical, and…
The UV spectrum of HS1700+6416 II. FUSE observations of the HeII Lyman alpha forest
C. Fechner, D. Reimers, G. A. Kriss +11
We present the far-UV spectrum of the quasar HS1700+6416 taken with FUSE. This QSO provides the second line of sight with the HeII absorption resolved into a Ly alpha forest struct…
