The SLUGGS Survey: NGC 3115, A Critical Test Case for Metallicity Bimodality in Globular Cluster Systems
Jean P. Brodie, Christopher Usher, Charlie Conroy +4
Due to its proximity (9 Mpc) and the strongly bimodal color distribution of its spectroscopically well-sampled globular cluster (GC) system, the early-type galaxy NGC 3115 provides…
On the Lack of Evolution in Galaxy Star Formation Efficiency
Peter S. Behroozi, Risa H. Wechsler, Charlie Conroy
Using reconstructed galaxy star formation histories, we calculate the instantaneous efficiency of galaxy star formation (i.e., the star formation rate divided by the baryon accreti…
NIMBUS: The Near-Infrared Multi-Band Ultraprecise Spectroimager for SOFIA
Michael W. McElwain, Avi Mandell, Bruce Woodgate +20
We present a new and innovative near-infrared multi-band ultraprecise spectroimager (NIMBUS) for SOFIA. This design is capable of characterizing a large sample of extrasolar planet…
A Simple Model for Quasar Demographics
Charlie Conroy, Martin White
We present a simple model for the relationship between quasars, galaxies, and dark matter halos from 0.5<z<6. In the model, black hole (BH) mass is linearly related to galaxy mass,…
The Average Star Formation Histories of Galaxies in Dark Matter Halos from z=0-8
Peter S. Behroozi, Risa H. Wechsler, Charlie Conroy
We present a robust method to constrain average galaxy star formation rates, star formation histories, and the intracluster light as a function of halo mass. Our results are consis…
Galaxy evolution in groups and clusters: satellite star formation histories and quenching timescales in a hierarchical Universe
Andrew R. Wetzel, Jeremy L. Tinker, Charlie Conroy +1
Satellite galaxies in groups and clusters are more likely to have low star formation rates (SFR) and lie on the red-sequence than central (field) galaxies. Using galaxy group/clust…
The Stellar Initial Mass Function in Early-Type Galaxies From Absorption Line Spectroscopy. I. Data and Empirical Trends
Pieter van Dokkum, Charlie Conroy
The strength of gravity-sensitive absorption lines in the integrated light of old stellar populations is one of the few direct probes of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) out…
Runaway Stars and the Escape of Ionizing Radiation from High-Redshift Galaxies
Charlie Conroy, Kaitlin Kratter
Approximately 30% of all massive stars in the Galaxy are runaways with velocities exceeding 30 km/s. Their high speeds allow them to travel ~0.1-1 kpc away from their birth place b…
The Stellar Initial Mass Function in Early-Type Galaxies From Absorption Line Spectroscopy. II. Results
Charlie Conroy, Pieter van Dokkum
The spectral absorption lines in early-type galaxies contain a wealth of information regarding the detailed abundance pattern, star formation history, and stellar initial mass func…
The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Design, Observations, Data Reduction, and Redshifts
Jeffrey A. Newman, Michael C. Cooper, Marc Davis +31
We describe the design and data sample from the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey, the densest and largest precision-redshift survey of galaxies at z ~ 1 completed to date. The survey h…
The progenitors of present-day massive red galaxies up to z ~ 0.7 - finding passive galaxies using SDSS-I/II and SDSS-III
Rita Tojeiro, Will Percival, David A. Wake +21
We present a comprehensive study of 250,000 galaxies targeted by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) up to z ~ 0.7 with the specific goal of identifying and characte…
