The Heavy Metal Survey: The Evolution of Stellar Metallicities, Abundance Ratios, and Ages of Massive Quiescent Galaxies Since z~2

Aliza G. Beverage, Mariska Kriek, Katherine A. Suess +11

We present the elemental abundances and ages of 19 massive quiescent galaxies at and from the Keck Heavy Metal Survey. The ultra-deep LRIS and MOSFIRE spectra…

A robust and simple method for filling in masked data in astronomical images

Pieter van Dokkum, Imad Pasha

Astronomical images often have regions with missing or unwanted information, such as bad pixels, bad columns, cosmic rays, masked objects, or residuals from imperfect model subtrac…

The Heavy Metal Survey: Star Formation Constraints and Dynamical Masses of 21 Massive Quiescent Galaxies at

Mariska Kriek, Aliza G. Beverage, Sedona H. Price +14

In this paper, we present the Heavy Metal Survey, which obtained ultradeep medium-resolution spectra of 21 massive quiescent galaxies at with Keck/LRIS and MOSFIRE. Wit…

A Recipe for Unbiased Background Modeling in Deep Wide-Field Astronomical Images

Qing Liu, Roberto G. Abraham, Peter G. Martin +9

Unbiased sky background modeling is crucial for the analysis of deep wide-field images, but it remains a major challenge in low surface brightness astronomy. Traditional image proc…

pysersic: A Python package for determining galaxy structural properties via Bayesian inference, accelerated with jax

Imad Pasha, Tim B. Miller

A standard practice in extragalactic population studies is the fitting of parametric models to galaxy images. From such fits, key structural parameters of galaxies such as total fl…

A candidate runaway supermassive black hole identified by shocks and star formation in its wake

Pieter van Dokkum, Imad Pasha, Maria Luisa Buzzo +13

The interaction of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) with the circumgalactic medium (CGM) can lead to the formation of a wake of shocked gas and young stars behind it. Here…
