Automated Morphological Classification of SDSS Red Sequence Galaxies
Judy Y. Cheng, S. M. Faber, Luc Simard +4
(abridged) In the last decade, the advent of enormous galaxy surveys has motivated the development of automated morphological classification schemes to deal with large data volumes…
Teaching Astronomy with an Inquiry Activity on Stellar Populations
Marc Rafelski, Michael Foley, Genevieve J. Graves +4
We describe a new inquiry design aimed at teaching advanced high-school to senior college students the basics of stellar populations. The inquiry is designed to have students come…
Dissecting the Red Sequence. IV. The Role of Truncation in the Two-Dimensional Family of Early-Type Galaxy Star Formation Histories
Genevieve J. Graves, S. M. Faber, Ricardo P. Schiavon
In the three-dimensional parameter space defined by velocity dispersion, effective radius (R_e), and effective surface brightness (I_e), early-type galaxies are observed to populat…
From Galaxy Clusters to Ultra-Faint Dwarf Spheroidals: A Fundamental Curve Connecting Dispersion-supported Galaxies to Their Dark Matter Halos
Erik J. Tollerud, James S. Bullock, Genevieve J. Graves +1
We examine scaling relations of dispersion-supported galaxies over more than eight orders of magnitude in luminosity by transforming standard fundamental plane parameters into a sp…
A Correction to the Standard Galactic Reddening Map: Passive Galaxies as Standard Crayons
J. E. G. Peek, Genevieve J. Graves
We present corrections to the Schlegel, Finkbeiner, Davis (SFD98) reddening maps over the Sloan Digital Sky Survey northern Galactic cap area. To find these corrections, we employ…
