Overview of the SDSS-IV MaNGA Survey: Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory
Kevin Bundy, Matthew A. Bershady, David R. Law +65
We present an overview of a new integral field spectroscopic survey called MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory), one of three core programs in the fourth-gen…
The MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) Survey: Rest-Frame Optical Spectroscopy for ~1500 H-Selected Galaxies at 1.37 < z < 3.8
Mariska Kriek, Alice E. Shapley, Naveen A. Reddy +21
In this paper we present the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey. The MOSDEF survey aims to obtain moderate-resolution (R=3000-3650) rest-frame optical spectra (~3700-7000…
Fluctuation Spectroscopy: A New Probe of Old Stellar Populations
Pieter van Dokkum, Charlie Conroy
We introduce a new method to determine the relative contributions of different types of stars to the integrated light of nearby early-type galaxies. As is well known, the surface b…
Forty-Seven Milky Way-Sized, Extremely Diffuse Galaxies in the Coma Cluster
Pieter van Dokkum, Roberto Abraham, Allison Merritt +3
We report the discovery of 47 low surface brightness objects in deep images of a 3 x 3 degree field centered on the Coma cluster, obtained with the Dragonfly Telephoto Array. The o…
The SLUGGS survey: Globular cluster stellar population trends from weak absorption lines in stacked spectra
Christopher Usher, Duncan A. Forbes, Jean P. Brodie +7
As part of the SLUGGS survey, we stack 1137 Keck DEIMOS spectra of globular clusters from 10 galaxies to study their stellar populations in detail. The stacked spectra have median…
The Very Faint End of the UV Luminosity Function over Cosmic Time: Constraints from the Local Group Fossil Record
Daniel R. Weisz, Benjamin D. Johnson, Charlie Conroy
We present a new technique to estimate the evolution of the very faint end of the UV luminosity function (LF) out to . Measured star formation histories (SFHs) from the fos…
