Leo P: How Many Metals can a Very Low-Mass, Isolated Galaxy Retain?

Kristen B. W. McQuinn, Evan D. Skillman, Andrew Dolphin +7

Leo P is a gas-rich dwarf galaxy with an extremely low gas-phase oxygen abundance (3% solar). The isolated nature of Leo P enables a quantitative measurement of metals lost solely…

When is Stacking Confusing?: The Impact of Confusion on Stacking in Deep HI Galaxy Surveys

Michael G. Jones, Martha P. Haynes, Riccardo Giovanelli +1

We present an analytic model to predict the HI mass contributed by confused sources to a stacked spectrum in a generic HI survey. Based on the ALFALFA correlation function, this mo…

CARMA CO Observations of Three Extremely Metal-Poor, Star-Forming Galaxies

Steven R. Warren, Edward Molter, John M. Cannon +11

We present sensitive CO (J = 1 - 0) emission line observations of three metal-poor dwarf irregular galaxies Leo P (Z ~ 3% Z_Solar), Sextans A (Z ~ 7.5% Z_Solar), and Sextans B (Z ~…

Environmental dependence of the HI mass function in the ALFALFA 70% catalogue

Michael G. Jones, Emmanouil Papastergis, Martha P. Haynes +1

We search for environmental dependence of the HI mass function in the ALFALFA 70% catalogue. The catalogue is split into quartiles of environment density based on the projected nei…

The Optical Luminosity Function of Void Galaxies in the SDSS and ALFALFA Surveys

Crystal M. Moorman, Michael S. Vogeley, Fiona Hoyle +3

We measure the r-band galaxy luminosity function (LF) across environments over the redshift range 0<<0.107 using the SDSS. We divide our sample into galaxies residing in large s…

Searching for Optical Counterparts to Ultra-compact High Velocity Clouds: Possible Detection of a Counterpart to AGC 198606

William Janesh, Katherine L. Rhode, John J. Salzer +6

We report on initial results from a campaign to obtain optical imaging of a sample of Ultra Compact High Velocity Clouds (UCHVCs) discovered by the ALFALFA neutral hydrogen (HI) su…
