An Apparent Redshift Dependence of Quasar Continuum: Implication for Cosmic Dust Extinction?

Xiaoyi Xie, Shiyin Shen, Zhengyi Shao +1

We investigate the luminosity and redshift dependence of the quasar continuum by means of composite spectrum using a large non-BAL radio-quiet quasar sample drawn from the Sloan Di…

Using member galaxy luminosities as halo mass proxies of galaxy groups

Yi Lu, Xiaohu Yang, Shiyin Shen

Reliable halo mass estimation for a given galaxy system plays an important role both in cosmology and galaxy formation studies. Here we set out to find the way that can improve the…

Measuring the X-ray luminosities of SDSS DR7 clusters from RASS

Lei Wang, Xiaohu Yang, Shiyin Shen +8

We use ROSAT All Sky Survey (RASS) broadband X-ray images and the optical clusters identified from SDSS DR7 to estimate the X-ray luminosities around candidate cluste…

The growth of the disk galaxy UGC8802

R. X. Chang, S. Y. Shen, J. L. Hou

The disk galaxy UGC8802 has high neutral gas content and a flat profile of star formation rate compared to other disk galaxies with similar stellar mass. It also shows a steep meta…

The orientation of the nuclear obscurer of the AGNs

Shiyin Shen, Zhengyi Shao, Minfeng Gu

We examine the distribution of axis ratios of a large sample of disk galaxies hosting type 2 AGNs selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and compare it with a well-defined cont…
