Radio Detection of Radio-Quiet Galaxies
J. A. Hodge, R. H. Becker, R. L. White +1
We investigate the radio emission of ~185,000 quiescent (optically unclassifiable) galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). By median-stacking FIRST cutouts cent…
Evidence for Quasar Activity Triggered by Galaxy Mergers in HST Observations of Dust-reddened Quasars
Tanya Urrutia, Mark Lacy, Robert H. Becker
We present Hubble ACS images of thirteen dust reddened Type-1 quasars selected from the FIRST/2MASS Red Quasar Survey. These quasars have high intrinsic luminosities after correcti…
Discovery of the Putative Pulsar and Wind Nebula Associated with the TeV Gamma-ray Source HESS J1813-178
D. J. Helfand, E. V. Gotthelf, J. P. Halpern +4
We present a Chandra X-ray observation of G12.82-0.02, a shell-like radio supernova remnant coincident with the TeV gamma-ray source HESS J1813-178. We resolve the X-ray emission f…
Signals from the Noise: Image Stacking for Quasars in the FIRST Survey
Richard L. White, David J. Helfand, Robert H. Becker +2
We present a technique to explore the radio sky into the nanoJansky regime by employing image stacking using the FIRST survey. We first discuss the non-intuitive relationship betwe…
Constraining the Evolution of the Ionizing Background and the Epoch of Reionization with z ~ 6 Quasars II: A Sample of 19 Quasars
Xiaohui Fan, Michael A. Strauss, Robert H. Becker +7
We study the evolution of the ionization state of the IGM at the end of the reionization epoch using spectra of a sample of nineteen quasars at 5.74<z<6.42 discovered in the SDSS.…
Observations and Theoretical Implications of the Large Separation Lensed Quasar SDSS J1004+4112
M. Oguri, N. Inada, C. R. Keeton +25
We study the recently discovered gravitational lens SDSS J1004+4112, the first quasar lensed by a cluster of galaxies. It consists of four images with a maximum separation of 14.62…
