The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: Overview of innovative science programs
Shelley A. Wright, James E. Larkin, Anna M. Moore +22
IRIS (InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph) is a first light near-infrared diffraction limited imager and integral field spectrograph being designed for the future Thirty Meter Telescope…
Prospects for measuring supermassive black hole masses with future extremely large telescopes
Tuan Do, Shelley A. Wright, Aaron J. Barth +6
The next generation of giant-segmented mirror telescopes ( 20 m) will enable us to observe galactic nuclei at much higher angular resolution and sensitivity than ever before. Th…
Groups of two galaxies in SDSS: implications of colours on star formation quenching time-scales
Christopher Q. Trinh, Elizabeth J. Barton, James S. Bullock +3
We have devised a method to select galaxies that are isolated in their dark matter halo (N=1 systems) and galaxies that reside in a group of exactly two (N=2 systems). Our N=2 syst…
Exploring the links between star formation and minor companions around isolated galaxies
Jacob P. Edman, Elizabeth J. Barton, James S. Bullock
Previous studies have shown that galaxies with minor companions exhibit an elevated star formation rate. We reverse this inquiry, constructing a volume-limited sample of \simL\star…
Orbiting Circum-galactic Gas as a Signature of Cosmological Accretion
Kyle R. Stewart, Tobias Kaufmann, James S. Bullock +4
We use cosmological SPH simulations to study the kinematic signatures of cool gas accretion onto a pair of well-resolved galaxy halos. Cold-flow streams and gas-rich mergers produc…
Small-Scale Structure in the SDSS and LCDM: Isolated L* Galaxies with Bright Satellites
Erik J. Tollerud, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Elizabeth J. Barton +2
We use a volume-limited spectroscopic sample of isolated galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to investigate the frequency and radial distribution of luminous (M_r <~ -1…
