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…
Broadband Optical Properties of Massive Galaxies: the Dispersion Around the Field Galaxy Color-Magnitude Relation Out to z~0.4
Richard J. Cool, Daniel J. Eisenstein, David Johnston +4
Using a sample of nearly 20,000 massive early-type galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we study the color-magnitude relation for the most luminous (L > 2.2 L^{*})…
The 1<z<5 Infrared Luminosity Function of Type I Quasars
Michael J. I. Brown, Kate Brand, Arjun Dey +14
We determine the rest-frame 8 micron luminosity function of type I quasars over the redshift range 1<z<5. Our sample consists of 292 24 micron sources brighter than 1 mJy selected…
Black Hole Masses and Eddington Ratios at 0.3<z<4
Juna A. Kollmeier, Christopher A. Onken, Christopher S. Kochanek +9
We study the distribution of Eddington luminosity ratios, L_bol/L_edd, of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) discovered in the AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey (AGES). We combine H-beta,…
Lifting the Iron Curtain : Toward an Understanding of the Iron Stars XX Oph and AS 325
Richard J. Cool, Steve B. Howell, Maria Pena +2
We present new optical, near infrared, and archival ultraviolet observations of XX Ophiuchi and AS 325, two proposed iron stars. These unusual stars have optical spectra dominated…
