Testing for relics of past strong buckling events in edge-on galaxies: Simulation predictions and data from SG
V. Cuomo, V. P. Debattista, S. Racz +7
The short-lived buckling instability is responsible for the formation of at least some box/peanut (B/P) shaped bulges, which are observed in most massive, , barred galaxies. N…
RESOLVE and ECO: Finding Low-Metallicity Dwarf AGN Candidates Using Optimized Emission-Line Diagnostics
Mugdha S. Polimera, Sheila J. Kannappan, Chris T. Richardson +6
Existing star-forming vs. active galactic nucleus (AGN) classification schemes using optical emission-line diagnostics mostly fail for low-metallicity and/or highly star-forming ga…
Mapping Accreted Stars in Early-Type Galaxies Across the Mass-Size Plane
Thomas A. Davison, Mark A. Norris, Ryan Leaman +3
Galaxy mergers are instrumental in dictating the final mass, structure, stellar populations, and kinematics of galaxies. Cosmological galaxy simulations indicate that the most mass…

Modern observational and analytic techniques now enable the direct measurement of star formation histories and the inference of galaxy assembly histories. However, current theoreti…
A radiative transfer model for the spiral galaxy M33
Jordan J. Thirlwall, Cristina C. Popescu, Richard J. Tuffs +5
We present the first radiative transfer (RT) model of a non-edge-on disk galaxy in which the large-scale geometry of stars and dust is self-consistently derived through fitting of…
Linking Compact Dwarf Starburst Galaxies in the RESOLVE Survey to Downsized Blue Nuggets
Michael L. Palumbo, Sheila J. Kannappan, Elaine M. Frazer +12
We identify and characterize compact dwarf starburst (CDS) galaxies in the RESOLVE survey, a volume-limited census of galaxies in the local universe, to probe whether this populati…
Field/Isolated lenticular galaxies with high values: the case of NGC 4546 and its globular cluster system
C. G. Escudero, F. R. Faifer, A. V. Smith Castelli +2
We present a photometric study of the field lenticular galaxy NGC 4546 using Gemini/GMOS imaging in g'r'i'z'. We perform a 2D image decomposition of the surface brightness distribu…
Is There a Fundamental Upper Limit to the Mass of a Star Cluster?
Mark A. Norris, Glenn van de Ven, Sheila J. Kannappan +2
The discovery around the turn of the millenium of a population of very massive (M > 210 M) compact stellar systems (CSS) with physical properties (radiu…
A galaxy's accretion history unveiled from its integrated spectrum
Alina Boecker, Ryan Leaman, Glenn van de Ven +3
We present a new method of quantifying a galaxy's accretion history from its integrated spectrum alone. Using full spectral fitting and calibrated regularization techniques we show…
The Formation of Compact Elliptical Galaxies in The Vicinity of A Massive Galaxy: The Role of Ram-pressure Confinement
Min Du, Victor P. Debattista, Luis C. Ho +9
Compact ellipticals (cEs) are outliers from the scaling relations of early-type galaxies, particularly the mass-metallicity relation which is an important outcome of feedback. The…
The Origin of Faint Tidal Features Around Galaxies in the RESOLVE Survey

We present the results of a wide spectroscopic survey aimed at detecting extragalactic globular clusters (GCs) in the core of the Fornax cluster. About 4500 low resolution spectra…
The Baryonic Collapse Efficiency of Galaxy Groups in the RESOLVE and ECO Surveys
Kathleen D. Eckert, Sheila J. Kannappan, Claudia del P. Lagos +6
We examine the z = 0 group-integrated stellar and cold baryonic (stars + cold atomic gas) mass functions (group SMF and CBMF) and the baryonic collapse efficiency (group cold baryo…
