Cross-correlation Weak Lensing of SDSS Galaxy Clusters III: Mass-to-light Ratios
Erin S. Sheldon, David E. Johnston, Morad Masjedi +8
We present measurements of the excess mass-to-light ratio measured aroundMaxBCG galaxy clusters observed in the SDSS. This red sequence cluster sample includes objects from small g…
The growth of luminous red galaxies by merging
Morad Masjedi, David W. Hogg, Michael R. Blanton
We study the role of major and minor mergers in the mass growth of luminous red galaxies. We present small-scale ($0.01<r<8\,\hMpc$) projected cross-correlation functions of $23043…
The Baryon Content of Extremely Low Mass Dwarf Galaxies
M. Geha, M. R. Blanton, M. Masjedi +1
We investigate the gas content and baryonic Tully-Fisher relationship for extremely low luminosity dwarf galaxies in the absolute magnitude range -13.5 > Mr > -16. The sample is se…
What triggers galaxy transformations? The environments of post-starburst galaxies
David W. Hogg, Morad Masjedi, Andreas A. Berlind +3
(abridged) There are good observational reasons to believe that the progenitors of red galaxies have undergone starbursts, followed by a post-starburst phase. We investigate the en…
Willman 1 - A Galactic Satellite at 40 kpc With Multiple Stellar Tails
Beth Willman, Morad Masjedi, David W. Hogg +6
SDSSJ1049+5103, commonly known as Willman 1, is an extremely low-luminosity Milky Way companion whose properties are intermediate between those of globular clusters and dwarf spher…
Very Small-Scale Clustering and Merger Rate of Luminous Red Galaxies
Morad Masjedi, David W. Hogg, Richard J. Cool +8
We present the small-scale (0.01<r<8 h^{-1} Mpc) projected correlation function w_p(r_p) and real space correlation function xi(r) of 24520 luminous early-type galaxies from the Sl…
