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…
Science Impacts of the SPHEREx All-Sky Optical to Near-Infrared Spectral Survey: Report of a Community Workshop Examining Extragalactic, Galactic, Stellar and Planetary Science
Olivier Doré, Michael W. Werner, Matt Ashby +65
SPHEREx is a proposed SMEX mission selected for Phase A. SPHEREx will carry out the first all-sky spectral survey and provide for every 6.2" pixel a spectra between 0.75 and 4.18 $…
The role of major mergers in the size growth of intermediate-mass spheroids
S. Kaviraj, M. Huertas-Company, S. Cohen +11
We study of the role of major mergers (mass ratios >1:4) in driving size growth in high-redshift (1<z<2) spheroidal galaxies (SGs) with stellar masses between 10^9.5 MSun and 10^10…
Star Clusters in the Nearby Late-Type Galaxy NGC 1311
Paul B. Eskridge, Richard de Grijs, Peter Anders +3
Ultraviolet, optical and near infrared images of the nearby (D ~ 5.5 Mpc) SBm galaxy NGC 1311, obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope, reveal a small population of 13 candidate s…
Active Nuclei and Star-Forming Objects at z>2: Metallicities, Winds, and Formation Histories
W. C. Keel, W. Wu, I. Waddington +2
We present near-IR observations of AGN and star-forming objects in the field of the radio galaxy 53W002 at z=2.39. The star-forming objects, of special interest as candidate protog…
Intermediate-band Surface Photometry of the Edge-on Galaxy: NGC 4565
Hong Wu, Dave Burstein, Zugan Deng
We present a deep, 42.79 hr image of the nearby, edge-on galaxy NGC 4565 in the Beijing-Arizona-Taipei-Connecticut (BATC) 6660A band using the large-format CCD system on the 0.6m S…
