A Complete Census of Circumgalactic MgII at Redshift z<~ 0.5
Yun-Hsin Huang, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Stephen A. Shectman +5
We present a survey of MgII absorbing gas in the vicinity of 380 random galaxies, using 156 background quasi-stellar objects(QSOs) as absorption-line probes. The sample comprises 2…
Observation and Confirmation of Six Strong Lensing Systems in The Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data
B. Nord, E. Buckley-Geer, H. Lin +89
We report the observation and confirmation of the first group- and cluster-scale strong gravitational lensing systems found in Dark Energy Survey (DES) data. Through visual inspect…
SGAS 143845.1+145407: A Big, Cool Starburst at Redshift 0.816
Michael D. Gladders, Jane R. Rigby, Keren Sharon +14
We present the discovery and a detailed multi-wavelength study of a strongly-lensed luminous infrared galaxy at z=0.816. Unlike most known lensed galaxies discovered at optical or…
What Determines the Incidence and Extent of MgII Absorbing Gas Around Galaxies?
Hsiao-Wen Chen, Vivienne Wild, Jeremy L. Tinker +4
We study the connections between on-going star formation, galaxy mass, and extended halo gas, in order to distinguish between starburst-driven outflows and infalling clouds that pr…
An Empirical Characterization of Extended Cool Gas Around Galaxies Using MgII Absorption Features
Hsiao-Wen Chen, Jennifer E. Helsby, Jean-Rene Gauthier +3
We report results from a survey of MgII absorbers in the spectra of background QSOs that are within close angular distances to a foreground galaxy at z<0.5, using the Magellan Eche…
Performance Expectations for a Tomography System Using Cosmic Ray Muons and Micro Pattern Gas Detectors for the Detection of Nuclear Contraband
Kondo Gnanvo, Patrick Ford, Jennifer Helsby +3
We present results from a detailed GEANT4 simulation of a proposed Muon Tomography System that employs compact Micro Pattern Gas Detectors with high spatial resolution. A basic Poi…
GEANT4 Simulation of a Cosmic Ray Muon Tomography System with Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors for the Detection of High-Z Materials
Marcus Hohlmann, Patrick Ford, Kondo Gnanvo +4
Muon Tomography (MT) based on the measurement of multiple scattering of atmospheric cosmic ray muons traversing shipping containers is a promising candidate for identifying threate…
