Circumgalactic Medium at High Halo Masses -- Signatures of Cold Gas Depletion in Luminous Red Galaxies

Marijana Smailagic, Jason Xavier Prochaska, Joseph Burchett +1

We study ultraviolet HI and metal line transitions in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of 15 massive, quenched luminous red galaxies (LRGs) at redshift and with impact p…

A systematic study of galactic outflows via fluorescence emission: implications for their size and structure

Bingjie Wang, Timothy M. Heckman, Guangtun Zhu +1

Galactic outflows play a major role in the evolution of galaxies, but the underlying physical processes are poorly understood. This is mainly because we have little information abo…

The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA Derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools and Stellar Library

D. S. Aguado, Romina Ahumada, Andres Almeida +230

Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years o…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Sample Characterization

Yue Shen, Patrick B. Hall, Keith Horne +24

We present a detailed characterization of the 849 broad-line quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project. Our quasar sample covers a redshift…

Extreme circumgalactic HI and CIII absorption around the most massive, quenched galaxies

Marijana Smailagić, Jason Xavier Prochaska, Joseph Burchett +2

Luminous red galaxies (LRGs) are the most massive galaxies at and, by selection, have negligible star formation. These objects have halo masses between those of …

SDSS-IV MaNGA: What Shapes The Distribution Of Metals In Galaxies? Exploring The Roles Of The Local Gas Fraction And Escape Velocity

J. K. Barrera-Ballesteros, T. Heckman, S. F. Sanchez +6

We determine the local metallicity of the ionized gas for more than star forming regions (spaxels) located in 1023 nearby galaxies included in the SDSS-IV MaNGA IF…
