The ALHAMBRA survey: an empirical estimation of the cosmic variance for merger fraction studies based on close pairs
C. López-Sanjuan, A. J. Cenarro, C. Hernández-Monteagudo +27
Our goal is to estimate empirically, for the first time, the cosmic variance that affects merger fraction studies based on close pairs. We compute the merger fraction from photomet…
The effects of spatial resolution on Integral Field Spectrograph surveys at different redshifts. The CALIFA perspective
D. Mast, F. F. Rosales-Ortega, S. F. Sanchez +27
Over the past decade, 3D optical spectroscopy has become the preferred tool for understanding the properties of galaxies and is now increasingly used to carry out galaxy surveys. L…
The ALHAMBRA survey: evolution of galaxy clustering since
P. Arnalte-Mur, V. J. Martínez, P. Norberg +29
We study the clustering of galaxies as function of luminosity and redshift in the range using data from the Advanced Large Homogeneous Area Medium Band Redshift A…
Techniques for Profile Binning and Analysis of Eigenvector Composite Spectra: Comparing Hbeta and MgII 2800 as Virial Estimators
Jack W. Sulentic, Paola Marziani, Ascension del Olmo +1
We review the basic techniques for extracting information about quasar structure and kinematics from the broad emission lines in quasars. We consider which lines can most effective…
Exploring Low Luminosity Quasar Diversity at z ~ 2.5 with the Gran Telescopio Canarias
J. W. Sulentic, A. del Olmo, P. Marziani
We present preliminary results from a pencil-beam spectroscopic survey of low-luminosity quasars at z ~ 2.2-2.5. Our goal is to compare these sources with low redshift analogues of…
The ALHAMBRA survey: reliable morphological catalogue of 22,051 early- and late-type galaxies
M. Pović, M. Huertas-Company, J. A. L. Aguerri +29
ALHAMBRA is a photometric survey designed to trace the cosmic evolution and cosmic variance. It covers a large area of ~ 4 sq. deg in 8 fields, where 7 fields overlap with other su…
The ALHAMBRA survey: Discovery of a faint QSO at z = 5.41
I. Matute, J. Masegosa, I. Márquez +23
We aim to illustrate the potentiality of the Advanced Large, Homogeneous Area, Medium-Band Redshift Astronomical (ALHAMBRA) survey to investigate the high redshift universe through…
Lyman break and UV-selected galaxies at z ~ 1: II. PACS-100um/160um FIR detections
I. Oteo, G. Magdis, Á. Bongiovanni +53
We report the PACS-100um/160um detections of a sample of 42 GALEX-selected and FIR-detected Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at z ~ 1 located in the COSMOS field and analyze their ultra…
Nebular emission and the Lyman continuum photon escape fraction in CALIFA early-type galaxies
P. Papaderos, J. M. Gomes, J. M. Vilchez +21
We use deep integral field spectroscopy data from the CALIFA survey to study the warm interstellar medium (WIM) of 32 nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs). We propose a tentative subd…
Is Mg II 2800 a Reliable Virial Broadening Estimator for Quasars?
Paola Marziani, Jack W. Sulentic, Ilse Plauchu-Frayn +1
[Abridged] Broad MgII 2800 and Hbeta lines have emerged as the most reliable virial estimators of black hole mass in quasars. Which is more reliable? Comparison of MgII 2800 and Hb…
Lyman break and UV-selected galaxies at I. Stellar populations from ALHAMBRA survey
I. Oteo, Á. Bongiovanni, J. Cepa +29
We take advantage of the exceptional photometric coverage provided by the combination of GALEX data in the UV and the ALHAMBRA survey in the optical and near-IR to analyze the phys…
Low-Ionization Outflows in High Eddington Ratio Quasars
P. Marziani, J. W. Sulentic, I. Plauchu-Frayn +1
The broad MgII doublet has been much studied in connection with its potentially important role as a virial estimator of black hole mass in high redshift quasars. An important task…
The star formation histories of Hickson compact group galaxies
I. Plauchu-Frayn, A. del Olmo, R. Coziol +1
ABRIDGED: We study the Star Formation History (SFH) of 210 galaxies members of 55 Hickson Compact Groups (HCG) and 309 galaxies from the Catalog of Isolated Galaxies (CIG). The SFH…
