The [Ne V] AGN Diagnostic in SDSS-IV/eBOSS: An Anticorrelation Between Ionization State and AGN Luminosity in Low-Redshift Coronal-Line Galaxies
Owen S. Matthews Acuña, Christy A. Tremonti, Nikko J. Cleri +6
Traditional narrow-line diagnostics fail at high redshift, where low metallicity drives star-forming galaxies and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) into overlapping regions of the Baldw…
Precision Spectroscopy for 1.7 Million Galaxies from SDSS-IV: Improved Spectral Measurements and Catalogs for eBOSS
Owen S. Matthews Acuña, Christy A. Tremonti, Kyle B. Westfall +6
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV DR17 Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) consists of 2,233,939 high-quality optical galaxy spectra obtained through 2" fibers,…
JWST Discovery of Warm Dust in the Circumgalactic Medium of the Makani Galaxy
Sylvain Veilleux, Steven D. Shockley, Marcio Melendez +10
We report the detection of near- and mid-infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) out to ~ 35 kpc in the Makani Galaxy, a compact massive galaxy with a record…
Deep Ultraviolet, Emission-Line Imaging of the Makani Galactic Wind
Triet Ha, David Rupke, Shane Caraker +14
The OVI 1032, 1038 A line is a key probe of cooling gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies, but has been observed to date primarily in absorption along single sightline…
The Outflowing [OII] Nebulae of Compact Starburst Galaxies at z 0.5
Serena Perrotta, Alison L. Coil, David S. N. Rupke +11
High-velocity outflows are ubiquitous in compact, massive (M 10 M), z 0.5 galaxies with extreme star formation surface densities ( 20…
The infrared luminosity of retired and post-starburst galaxies: A cautionary tale for star formation rate measurements
Vivienne Wild, Natalia Vale Asari, Kate Rowlands +3
In galaxies with significant ongoing star formation there is an impressively tight correlation between total infrared luminosity (L) and H luminosity (L), when H$…
Violent quenching: molecular gas blown to 1000 km/s during a major merger
J. E. Geach, C. Tremonti, A. M. Diamond-Stanic +7
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of a massive (M_stars~10^11 M_Sun) compact (r_e,UV~100 pc) merger remnant at z=0.66 that is driving a 1000 km/s…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Properties of galaxies with kinematically decoupled stellar and gaseous components
Yifei Jin, Yanmei Chen, Yong Shi +30
We study the properties of 66 galaxies with kinematically misaligned gas and stars from MaNGA survey. The fraction of kinematically misaligned galaxies varies with galaxy physical…
Discovery of Large Molecular Gas Reservoirs in Post-Starburst Galaxies
K. Decker French, Yujin Yang, Ann Zabludoff +5
Post-starburst (or "E+A") galaxies are characterized by low H emission and strong Balmer absorption, suggesting a recent starburst, but little current star formation. Although m…
Stellar feedback as the origin of an extended molecular outflow in a starburst galaxy
J. E. Geach, R. C. Hickox, A. M. Diamond-Stanic +6
Recent observations have revealed that starburst galaxies can drive molecular gas outflows through stellar radiation pressure. Molecular gas is the phase of the interstellar medium…
P-MaNGA: Emission Lines Properties - Gas Ionisation and Chemical Abundances from Prototype Observations
F. Belfiore, R. Maiolino, K. Bundy +27
MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory) is a SDSS-IV survey that will obtain spatially resolved spectroscopy from 3600 Å to 10300 Å for a representative sample…
Massive Compact Galaxies with High-Velocity Outflows: Morphological Analysis and Constraints on AGN Activity
P. H. Sell, C. A. Tremonti, R. C. Hickox +9
We investigate the process of rapid star formation quenching in a sample of 12 massive galaxies at intermediate redshift (z~0.6) that host high-velocity ionized gas outflows (v>100…
Stellar velocity dispersions and emission line properties of SDSS-III/BOSS galaxies
D. Thomas, O. Steele, C. Maraston +24
We perform a spectroscopic analysis of 492,450 galaxy spectra from the first two years of observations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III/Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey…
Optical Star-Formation Rate Indicators
John Moustakas, Robert C. Kennicutt, Christy A. Tremonti
Using integrated optical spectrophotometry for 412 star-forming galaxies at z~0, and fiber-aperture spectrophotometry for 120,846 SDSS galaxies at z~0.1, we investigate the H-alpha…
Star Formation in the Field and Clusters of NGC 5253
C. A. Tremonti, D. Calzetti, C. Leitherer +1
We investigate the star formation history of both the bright star clusters and the diffuse `field star' population in the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 5253 using STIS longslit ultrav…
