The Globular Cluster System of NGC 6822
J. Veljanoski, A. M. N. Ferguson, A. D. Mackey +11
We present a comprehensive analysis of the globular cluster (GC) system of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. Our study is based on homogeneous optical and near-IR ph…
Galaxy Interactions in Compact Groups II: abundance and kinematic anomalies in HCG 91c
F. P. A. Vogt, M. A. Dopita, S. Borthakur +4
Galaxies in Hickson Compact Group 91 (HCG 91) were observed with the WiFeS integral field spectrograph as part of our ongoing campaign targeting the ionized gas physics and kinemat…
A New Faint Milky Way Satellite Discovered in the Pan-STARRS1 3 pi Survey
Benjamin P. M. Laevens, Nicolas F. Martin, Rodrigo A. Ibata +21
We present the discovery of a faint Milky Way satellite, Laevens 2/Triangulum II, found in the Panoramic Survey Telescope And Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS 1) 3 pi imaging data…
Constraining the radio-loud fraction of quasars at z>5.5
E. Bañados, B. P. Venemans, E. Morganson +18
Radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei at z~2-4 are typically located in dense environments and their host galaxies are among the most massive systems at those redshifts, providing key…
The fastest unbound star in our Galaxy ejected by a thermonuclear supernova
S. Geier, F. Fürst, E. Ziegerer +17
Hypervelocity stars (HVS) travel with velocities so high, that they exceed the escape velocity of the Galaxy. Several acceleration mechanisms have been discussed. Only one HVS (US…
Machine learning for transient discovery in Pan-STARRS1 difference imaging
D. E. Wright, S. J. Smartt, K. W. Smith +15
Efficient identification and follow-up of astronomical transients is hindered by the need for humans to manually select promising candidates from data streams that contain many fal…
