The James Webb Space Telescope Mission
Jonathan P. Gardner, John C. Mather, Randy Abbott +1004
Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized…
A Measurement of the Black-Hole Mass in NGC 1097 using ALMA
Kyoko Onishi, Satoru Iguchi, Kartik Sheth +1
We present an estimate of the mass of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the nearby type-1 Seyfert galaxy \object{NGC 1097} using Atacamma Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (…
Evolution of the Bar Fraction in COSMOS: Quantifying the Assembly of the Hubble Sequence
Kartik Sheth, Debra Meloy Elmegreen, Bruce G. Elmegreen +13
We have analyzed the redshift-dependent fraction of galactic bars over 0.2<z<0.84 in 2,157 luminous face-on spiral galaxies from the COSMOS 2-square degree field. Our sample is an…
A Near-Infrared Study of 2MASS Bars in Local Galaxies: An Anchor for High Redshift Studies
Karin Menendez-Delmestre, Kartik Sheth, Eva Schinnerer +2
We have measured the fraction of bars in nearby spiral galaxies using near-infrared J, H, and K_s images of 151 spiral galaxies from 2MASS. This local sample provides an anchor for…
The Nature of Infrared Emission in the Local Group Dwarf Galaxy NGC 6822 As Revealed by Spitzer
John M. Cannon, Fabian Walter, Lee Armus +19
We present Spitzer imaging of the metal-deficient (Z ~30% Z_sun) Local Group dwarf galaxy NGC 6822. On spatial scales of ~130 pc, we study the nature of IR, H alpha, HI, and radio…
Warm Dust and Spatially Variable PAH Emission in the Dwarf Starburst Galaxy NGC 1705
John M. Cannon, John-David T. Smith, Fabian Walter +22
We present Spitzer observations of the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 1705 obtained as part of SINGS. The galaxy morphology is very different shortward and longward of ~5 microns: shor…
