Discovery of a Giant Stellar Tidal Stream Around the Disk Galaxy NGC 4013
David Martinez-Delgado, Michael Pohlen, R. Jay Gabany +3
We report the discovery of a giant, loop-like stellar structure around the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4013. This arcing feature extends 6 arcmin (~26 kpc in projected distance) nort…
An HI Threshold for Star Cluster Formation in Tidal Debris
A. Maybhate, J. Masiero, J. E. Hibbard +4
Super star clusters are young, compact star clusters found in the central regions of interacting galaxies. Recently, they have also been reported to preferentially form in certain…
A Catalog of Absorption Lines in Eight HST/STIS E230M 1.0 < z < 1.7 Quasar Spectra
N. Milutinovic, T. Misawa, R. S. Lynch +6
We have produced a catalog of line identifications and equivalent width measurements for all absorption features in eight ultraviolet echelle quasar spectra. These spectra were sel…
The Nature of Weak MgII Absorbing Structures
Nikola Milutinovic, Jane R. Rigby, Joseph R. Masiero +3
We consider geometries and possible physical models for weak low ionization absorbers based on the relative incidence of low and high ionization absorption systems. We found a tota…
Exploring Halo Substructure with Giant Stars: The Velocity Dispersion Profiles of the Ursa Minor and Draco Dwarf Spheroidals At Large Angular Separations
Ricardo R. Munoz, Peter M. Frinchaboy, Steven R. Majewski +6
We analyze velocity dispersion profiles for the Draco and Ursa Minor (UMi) dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies based on published and new Keck HIRES spectra for stars in the outer UMi…
Exploring Halo Substructure with Giant Stars. VI. Extended Distributions of Giant Stars Around the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy -- How Reliable Are They?
S. R. Majewski, P. M. Frinchaboy, W. E. Kunkel +6
The question of the existence of active tidal disruption around various dSph galaxies remains controversial. That debate often centers on the nature (bound vs. unbound) of extended…
