PRIMUS+DEEP2: The Dependence of Galaxy Clustering on Stellar Mass and Specific Star Formation Rate at 0.2 < z < 1.2
Alison L. Coil, Alexander J. Mendez, Daniel J. Eisenstein +1
We present results on the clustering properties of galaxies as a function of both stellar mass and specific star formation rate (sSFR) using data from the PRIMUS and DEEP2 galaxy r…
Discovery of transient infrared emission from dust heated by stellar tidal disruption flares
Sjoert van Velzen, Alexander J. Mendez, Julian H. Krolik +1
Stars that pass within the Roche radius of a supermassive black hole will be tidally disrupted, yielding a sudden injection of gas close to the black hole horizon which produces an…
Exploring the SDSS Photometric Galaxies with Clustering Redshifts
Mubdi Rahman, Alexander J. Mendez, Brice Ménard +4
We apply clustering-based redshift inference to all extended sources from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric catalogue, down to magnitude r = 22. We map the relationships bet…
A radio jet from the optical and x-ray bright stellar tidal disruption flare ASASSN-14li
Sjoert van Velzen, Gemma E. Anderson, Nicholas C. Stone +11
The tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole leads to a short-lived thermal flare. Despite extensive searches, radio follow-up observations of known thermal stellar…
Galaxies Probing Galaxies at High Resolution: Co-Rotating Gas Associated with a Milky Way Analog at z=0.4
Aleksandar M. Diamond-Stanic, Alison L. Coil, John Moustakas +5
We present results on gas flows in the halo of a Milky Way-like galaxy at z=0.413 based on high-resolution spectroscopy of a background galaxy. This is the first study of circumgal…
PRIMUS + DEEP2: Clustering of X-ray, Radio and IR-AGN at z~0.7
Alexander J. Mendez, Alison L. Coil, James Aird +8
We measure the clustering of X-ray, radio, and mid-IR-selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) at 0.2 < z < 1.2 using multi-wavelength imaging and spectroscopic redshifts from the PRI…
Dark Matter Halo Models of Stellar Mass-Dependent Galaxy Clustering in PRIMUS+DEEP2 at 0.2<z<1.2
Ramin A. Skibba, Alison L. Coil, Alexander J. Mendez +8
We utilize CDM halo occupation models of galaxy clustering to investigate the evolving stellar mass dependent clustering of galaxies in the PRIsm MUlti-object Survey (PRIMUS) an…
PRIMUS: The Effect of Physical Scale on the Luminosity-Dependence of Galaxy Clustering via Cross-Correlations
Aaron D. Bray, Daniel J. Eisenstein, Ramin A. Skibba +6
We report small-scale clustering measurements from the PRIMUS spectroscopic redshift survey as a function of color and luminosity. We measure the real-space cross-correlations betw…
PRIMUS: The relationship between Star formation and AGN accretion
Mojegan Azadi, James Aird, Alison Coil +7
We study the evidence for a connection between active galactic nuclei (AGN) fueling and star formation by investigating the relationship between the X-ray luminosities of AGN and t…
PRIMUS: Galaxy Clustering as a Function of Luminosity and Color at 0.2<z<1
Ramin A. Skibba, M. Stephen M. Smith, Alison L. Coil +9
We present measurements of the luminosity and color-dependence of galaxy clustering at 0.2<z<1.0 in the PRIsm MUlti-object Survey (PRIMUS). We quantify the clustering with the reds…
The PRIsm MUlti-object Survey (PRIMUS). II. Data Reduction and Redshift Fitting
Richard J. Cool, John Moustakas, Michael R. Blanton +10
The PRIsm MUti-object Survey (PRIMUS) is a spectroscopic galaxy redshift survey to z~1 completed with a low-dispersion prism and slitmasks allowing for simultaneous observations of…
PRIMUS: Infrared and X-ray AGN Selection Techniques at 0.2<z<1.2
Alexander J. Mendez, Alison L. Coil, James Aird +7
We present a study of Spitzer/IRAC and X-ray active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selection techniques in order to quantify the overlap, uniqueness, contamination, and completeness of eac…
PRIMUS: Constraints on Star Formation Quenching and Galaxy Merging, and the Evolution of the Stellar Mass Function From z=0-1
John Moustakas, Alison Coil, James Aird +7
We measure the evolution of the stellar mass function (SMF) from z=0-1 using multi-wavelength imaging and spectroscopic redshifts from the PRism MUlti-object Survey (PRIMUS) and th…
Metallicity Evolution of Damped Lyman-alpha Systems out to z~5
Marc Rafelski, Arthur M. Wolfe, J. Xavier Prochaska +2
