Dangerous Questions in Astronomy Education
Michael Fitzgerald, Rachel Freed, Dan Reichart +63
As astronomy enters an era defined by global telescope networks, petabyte-scale surveys, and powerful computational tools, the longstanding goals of astronomy education, particular…
Close Major Merger Pairs at : Bulge-to-Total Ratio and Star Formation Enhancement
Chuan He, Cong Kevin Xu, Donovan Domingue +2
We present a study of the bulge-to-total ratio (B/T) of a Ks-band-selected sample of 88 close major-merger pairs of galaxies (H-KPAIR) based on 2-D decomposition of SDSS r-band ima…
CO observations of major merger pairs at z=0: Molecular gas mass and star formation
Ute Lisenfeld, Cong Kevin Xu, Yu Gao +3
We present CO observations of 78 spiral galaxies in local merger pairs. These galaxies representa subsample of a Ks-band selected sample consisting of 88 close major-merger pairs (…
Major Merger Galaxy Pairs at z=0: Dust Properties and Companion Morphology
Donovan L. Domingue, Chen Cao, C. Kevin Xu +4
We present an analysis of dust properties of a sample of close major-merger galaxy pairs selected by K_s magnitude and redshift. The pairs represent the two populations of spiral-s…
Herschel Observations of Major Merger Pairs at z=0: Dust Mass and Star Formation
Chen Cao, Cong Kevin Xu, Donovan Domingue +13
We present Herschel PACS SPIRE far-infrared (FIR) and sub-mm imaging observations for a large K-band selected sample of 88 close major-merger pairs of galaxies (H-KPAIRs) in 6…
Local Benchmarks for the Evolution of Major-Merger Galaxies -- Spitzer Observations of a K-Band Selected Sample
C. Kevin Xu, Donovan Domingue, Yi-Wen Cheng +7
We present Spitzer observations for a sample of close major-merger galaxy pairs (KPAIR sample) selected from 2MASS/SDSS-DR3 cross-matches. The goals are to study the star formation…
