The Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: Instrument Overview
James E. Larkin, Anna M. Moore, Shelley A. Wright +14
IRIS is a near-infrared (0.84 to 2.4 microns) integral field spectrograph and wide-field imager being developed for first light with the Thirty Meter (TMT). It mounts to the advanc…
The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: latest science cases and simulations
Shelley A. Wright, Gregory Walth, Tuan Do +36
The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) first light instrument IRIS (Infrared Imaging Spectrograph) will complete its preliminary design phase in 2016. The IRIS instrument design includes…
The Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: Data Reduction System
Gregory Walth, Shelley A. Wright, Jason Weiss +15
IRIS (InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph) is the diffraction-limited first light instrument for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) that consists of a near-infrared (0.84 to 2.4 m) imag…
The impact of galactic properties and environment on the quenching of central and satellite galaxies: A comparison between SDSS, Illustris and L-Galaxies
Asa F. L. Bluck, J. Trevor Mendel, Sara L. Ellison +7
We quantify the impact that a variety of galactic and environmental properties have on the quenching of star formation. We collate a sample of 400,000 central and 100…
Galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - XI. A new method for measuring the influence of the closest companion out to wide separations
David R. Patton, Farid D. Qamar, Sara L. Ellison +5
We describe a statistical approach for measuring the influence that a galaxy's closest companion has on the galaxy's properties out to arbitrarily wide separations. We begin by ide…
The Detailed Science Case for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer: the Composition and Dynamics of the Faint Universe
Alan McConnachie, Carine Babusiaux, Michael Balogh +173
MSE is an 11.25m aperture observatory with a 1.5 square degree field of view that will be fully dedicated to multi-object spectroscopy. More than 3200 fibres will feed spectrograph…
Stellar mass functions of galaxies, disks and spheroids at z~0.1
Karun Thanjavur, Luc Simard, Asa F. L. Bluck +1
We present the stellar mass functions (SMF) and mass densities of galaxies, and their spheroid and disk components in the local (z~0.1) universe over the range 8.9 <= log(M/M_solar…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. VII. The intrinsic shapes of low-luminosity galaxies in the core of the Virgo cluster, and a comparison with the Local Group
R. Sanchez-Janssen, L. Ferrarese, L. A. MacArthur +17
(Abridged) We investigate the intrinsic shapes of low-luminosity galaxies in the central 300 kpc of the Virgo cluster using deep imaging obtained as part of the NGVS. We build a sa…
Disc colours in field and cluster spiral galaxies at 0.5 < z < 0.8
Nicolas Cantale, Pascale Jablonka, Frederic Courbin +9
We present a detailed study of the colours in late-type galaxy discs for ten of the EDisCS galaxy clusters with 0.5 < z < 0.8. Our cluster sample contains 172 spiral galaxies, and…
