Resolving the Outer Disks and Halos of Nearby Galaxies
Anil Seth, Roelof de Jong, David Radburn-Smith +1
In a hierarchical merging scenario, the outer parts of a galaxy are a fossil record of the galaxy's early history. Observations of the outer disks and halos of galaxies thus provid…
GHOSTS: The Resolved Stellar Outskirts of Massive Disk Galaxies
Roelof S. de Jong, A. C. Seth, E. F. Bell +10
We show initial results from our ongoing HST GHOSTS survey of the resolved stellar envelopes of 14 nearby, massive disk galaxies. In hierarchical galaxy formation the stellar halos…
Long gamma-ray bursts and core-collapse supernovae have different environments
A. S. Fruchter, A. J. Levan, L. Strolger +30
When massive stars exhaust their fuel they collapse and often produce the extraordinarily bright explosions known as core-collapse supernovae. On occasion, this stellar collapse al…
A class of compact dwarf galaxies from disruptive processes in galaxy clusters
M. J. Drinkwater, M. D. Gregg, M. Hilker +5
Dwarf galaxies have attracted increased attention in recent years, because of their susceptibility to galaxy transformation processes within rich galaxy clusters. Direct evidence f…
Hot Evolved Stars in the Centers of M 31 and M 32
T. M. Brown, H. C. Ferguson, S. A. Stanford +2
We present UV images of M 31 and M 32, as observed by HST with the refurbished FOC. The galaxies were observed through the F175W and F275W filters, allowing the construction of col…
Visual Search for Galaxies near the Northern Crossing of the Supergalactic plane by the Milky Way
G. K. T. Hau, H. C. Ferguson, O. Lahav +1
We have visually examined twelve Palomar red Plates for galaxies at low Galactic latitude b, where the Supergalactic Plane (SGP) is crossed by the Galactic Plane (GP), at Galactic…
