SDSS 0809+1729: Connections Between Extremely Metal Poor Galaxies and Gamma Ray Burst Hosts
Lisa J. Kewley, Warren R. Brown, Margaret J. Geller +2
We discuss the serendipitous discovery of an extremely metal poor galaxy, SDSS 0809+1729, classified as a star in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The galaxy has a redshift z =…
Infrared Properties of Close Pairs of Galaxies
Margaret J. Geller, Scott J. Kenyon, Elizabeth J. Barton +2
We discuss spectroscopy and infrared photometry for a complete sample of ~ 800 galaxies in close pairs objectively selected from the CfA2 redshift survey. We use 2MASS to compare n…
Hypervelocity Stars. I. The Spectroscopic Survey
Warren R. Brown, Margaret J. Geller, Scott J. Kenyon +1
We discuss our targeted search for hypervelocity stars (HVSs), stars traveling with velocities so extreme that dynamical ejection from a massive black hole is their only suggested…
Tidally Triggered Star Formation in Close Pairs of Galaxies: Major and Minor Interactions
Deborah Freedman Woods, Margaret J. Geller, Elizabeth J. Barton
We study star formation in a sample of 345 galaxies in 167 pairs and compact groups drawn from the original CfA2 Redshift Survey and from a follow-up search for companions. We cons…
