Globular and Open Clusters Observed by SDSS/SEGUE: the Giant Stars

Heather L. Morrison, Zhibo Ma, James L. Clem +10

We present griz observations for the clusters M92, M13 and NGC 6791 and gr photometry for M71, Be 29 and NGC 7789. In addition we present new membership identifications for all the…

Near-Infrared Structure of Fast and Slow Rotating Disk Galaxies

Andrew Schechtman-Rook, Matthew A. Bershady

We investigate the stellar disk structure of six nearby edge-on spiral galaxies using high-resolution JHKs-band images and 3D radiative transfer models. To explore how mass and env…

A millisecond pulsar in a stellar triple system

S. M. Ransom, I. H. Stairs, A. M. Archibald +18

Gravitationally bound three-body systems have been studied for hundreds of years and are common in our Galaxy. They show complex orbital interactions, which can constrain the compo…

Discovery of Super-Thin Disks in Nearby Edge-on Spiral Galaxies

Andrew Schechtman-Rook, Matthew A. Bershady

We report the identification of a super-thin disk (h_z~60 pc) in the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 891. This component is only apparent after we perform a physically motivated attenuat…

The DiskMass Survey. VI. Gas and stellar kinematics in spiral galaxies from PPak integral-field spectroscopy

Thomas P. K. Martinsson, Marc A. W. Verheijen, Kyle B. Westfall +4

We present ionized-gas (OIII) and stellar kinematics (velocities and velocity dispersions) for 30 nearly face-on spiral galaxies out to as much as three disk scale lengths (h_R). T…

Near-Infrared Detection of a Super-Thin Disk in NGC 891

Andrew Schechtman-Rook, Matthew A. Bershady

We probe the disk structure of the nearby, massive, edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 891 with sub-arcsecond resolution JHKs-band images covering ~+/-10 kpc in radius and +/-5 kpc in heigh…
