A long optical plateau in the afterglow of the Extended Emission short GRB 150424A: Evidence for energy injection by a magnetar?

F. Knust, J. Greiner, H. J. van Eerten +14

Short-duration GRBs with extended emission form a subclass of short GRBs, comprising about 15% of the short-duration sample. Afterglow detections of short GRBs are also rare (about…

The MASSIVE Survey VI: The Spatial Distribution and Kinematics of Warm Ionized Gas in the Most Massive Local Early-type Galaxies

Viraj Pandya, Jenny E. Greene, Chung-Pei Ma +8

We present the first systematic investigation of the existence, spatial distribution, and kinematics of warm ionized gas as traced by the [O II] 3727AA emission line in 74 of the m…

A 17-billion-solar-mass black hole in a group galaxy with a diffuse core

Jens Thomas, Chung-Pei Ma, Nicholas J. McConnell +3

Quasars are associated with and powered by the accretion of material onto massive black holes; the detection of highly luminous quasars with redshifts greater than z = 6 suggests t…

The MASSIVE Survey II: Stellar Population Trends Out to Large Radius in Massive Early Type Galaxies

Jenny E. Greene, Ryan Janish, Chung-Pei Ma +4

We examine stellar population gradients in ~100 massive early type galaxies spanning 180 < sigma* < 370 km/s and M_K of -22.5 to -26.5 mag, observed as part of the MASSIVE survey (…

Training the Next Generation of Astronomers

Peter K. G. Williams, Eric Huff, Holly Maness +28

While both society and astronomy have evolved greatly over the past fifty years, the academic institutions and incentives that shape our field have remained largely stagnant. As a…
