Rapid Formation of Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Galaxy Mergers with Gas
Lucio Mayer, Stelios Kazantzidis, Piero Madau +3
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are a ubiquitous component of the nuclei of galaxies. It is normally assumed that, following the merger of two massive galaxies, a SMBH binary will…
Automated selection and characterization of emission-line sources in ACS WFC grism data
Gerhardt R. Meurer, Z. I. Tsvetanov, C. Gronwall +10
We present complimentary techniques to find emission-line targets and measure their properties in a semi-automated fashion from grism observations obtained with the Advanced Camera…
The missing metals problem. III How many metals are expelled from galaxies?
Nicolas Bouche, Matthew D. Lehnert, Anthony Aguirre +2
[Abridged] We revisit the metal budget at z~2. In the first two papers of this series, we already showed that ~30% (to <60% if extrapolating the LF) of the metals are observed in a…
Star Formation in AEGIS Field Galaxies since z=1.1 : The Dominance of Gradually Declining Star Formation, and the Main Sequence of Star-Forming Galaxies
K. G. Noeske, B. J. Weiner, S. M. Faber +26
We analyze star formation (SF) as a function of stellar mass (M*) and redshift z in the All Wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey (AEGIS). For 2905 field galaxies, c…
Getting Its Kicks: A VLBA Parallax for the Hyperfast Pulsar B1508+55
S. Chatterjee, W. H. T. Vlemmings, W. F. Brisken +7
The highest velocity neutron stars establish stringent constraints on natal kicks, asymmetries in supernova core collapse, and the evolution of close binary systems. Here we presen…
Spin Profile of Galactic Halos and Disk Formation
A. Dekel, J. S. Bullock, C. Porciani +4
We summarize recent developments in the study of the origin of halo spin profiles and preliminary implications on disk formation. The specific angular-momentum distributions within…
