XO-2b: Transiting Hot Jupiter in a Metal-rich Common Proper Motion Binary
Christopher J. Burke, P. R. McCullough, Jeff A. Valenti +15
We report on a V=11.2 early K dwarf, XO-2 (GSC 03413-00005), that hosts a Rp=0.98+0.03/-0.01 Rjup, Mp=0.57+/-0.06 Mjup transiting extrasolar planet, XO-2b, with an orbital period o…
Testing linear-theory predictions of galaxy formation
Ben Sugerman, F. J. Summers, Marc Kamionkowski
The angular momentum of galaxies is routinely ascribed to a process of tidal torques acting during the early stages of gravitational collapse, and is predicted from the initial mas…
The Formation of Disk Galaxies
J. J. Dalcanton, D. N. Spergel, F J Summers
We present a scenario for the formation of disks which explains not only the properties of normal galaxies, but the properties of the population of low surface brightness galaxies…
A New Statistic for Redshift Surveys: the Redshift Dispersion of Galaxies
Jeremy Kepner, Frank Summers, Michael Strauss
We present a new statistic-the redshift dispersion-- which may prove useful for comparing next generation redshift surveys (e.g., the Sloan Digital Sky Survey) and cosmological sim…
Galaxy Formation in Hierarchical Models
F J Summers
High resolution gravity plus smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations are used to study the formation of galaxies within the context of hierarchical structure formation. The sim…
Current Cosmological Simulations, Advice on their Interpretation, and an IMAX Film Preview
F J Summers
This general talk is geared toward non-specialists and addresses three questions: (1) What types of cosmological simulations are done? (2) What are the relevant problems to address…
