Stellar atmosphere parameters with MAx, a MAssive compression of x^2 for spectral fitting
Paula Jofré, Ben Panter, Camilla Juul Hansen +1
MAx is a new tool to estimate parameters from stellar spectra. It is based on the maximum likelihood method, with the likelihood compressed in a way that the information stored in…
A public catalogue of stellar masses, star formation and metallicity histories and dust content from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using VESPA
Rita Tojeiro, Stephen Wilkins, Alan F. Heavens +2
We applied the VESPA algorithm to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey final data release of the Main Galaxies and Luminous Red Galaxies samples. The result is a catalogue of stellar masse…
Physical Classification of Galaxies with MOPED/VESPA
Raul Jimenez, Alan F. Heavens, Ben Panter +1
The availability of high-quality spectra for a large number of galaxies in the SDSS survey allows for a more sophisticated extraction of information about their stellar populations…
The Cosmic Evolution of Metallicity from the SDSS Fossil Record
Benjamin Panter, Raul Jimenez, Alan F. Heavens +1
We present the time evolution of the stellar metallicity for SDSS galaxies, a sample that spans five orders of magnitude in stellar mass (10^7 - 10^{12} Msun). Assuming the BC03 st…
Improving Photometric Redshifts using GALEX Observations for the SDSS Stripe 82 and the Next Generation of SZ Cluster Surveys
Michael D. Niemack, Raul Jimenez, Licia Verde +3
Four large-area Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) experiments -- APEX-SZ, SPT, ACT, and Planck -- promise to detect clusters of galaxies through the distortion of Cosmic Microwave Background…
The role of spin in the formation and evolution of galaxies
Zachory K. Berta, Raul Jimenez, Alan F. Heavens +1
Using the SDSS spectroscopic sample, we estimate the dark matter halo spin parameter lambda for ~53,000 disk galaxies for which MOPED star formation histories are available. We inv…
