The power of infrared AGN selection in mergers: a theoretical study

Laura Blecha, Gregory F. Snyder, Shobita Satyapal +1

The role of galaxy mergers in fueling active galactic nuclei (AGN) is still debated, owing partly to selection effects inherent to studies of the merger/AGN connection. In particul…

Finding the Needles in the Haystacks: High-Fidelity Models of the Modern and Archean Solar System for Simulating Exoplanet Observations

Aki Roberge, Maxime J. Rizzo, Andrew P. Lincowski +10

We present two state-of-the-art models of the solar system, one corresponding to the present day and one to the Archean Eon 3.5 billion years ago. Each model contains spatial and s…

Large Synoptic Survey Telescope Galaxies Science Roadmap

Brant E. Robertson, Manda Banerji, Michael C. Cooper +47

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will enable revolutionary studies of galaxies, dark matter, and black holes over cosmic time. The LSST Galaxies Science Collaboration has…

z~2: An Epoch of Disk Assembly

Raymond C. Simons, Susan A. Kassin, Benjamin J. Weiner +8

We explore the evolution of the internal gas kinematics of star-forming galaxies from the peak of cosmic star-formation at to today. Measurements of galaxy rotation veloci…

HI vs. H - Comparing the Kinematic Tracers in Modeling the Initial Conditions of the Mice

S. Alireza Mortazavi, Jennifer M. Lotz, Joshua E. Barnes +2

We explore the effect of using different kinematic tracers (HI and H) on reconstructing the encounter parameters of the Mice major galaxy merger (NGC 4676A/B). We observed the M…
