The 2.4 m Galaxy Luminosity Function as Measured Using WISE. I. Measurement Techniques
S. E. Lake, E. L. Wright, C. -W. Tsai +1
The astronomy community has at its disposal a large back catalog of public spectroscopic galaxy redshift surveys that can be used for the measurement of luminosity functions. Utili…
UV-bright nearby early type galaxies observed in the mid-infrared: evidence for a multi-stage formation history by way of WISE and GALEX imaging
S. M. Petty, J. D. Neill, T. H. Jarrett +9
In the local Universe, 10% of massive elliptical galaxies are observed to exhibit a peculiar property: a substantial excess of ultraviolet emission (UVX) over what is expected from…
Extending the Nearby Galaxy Heritage with WISE: First Results from the WISE Enhanced Resolution Galaxy Atlas
T. H. Jarrett, F. Masci, C. W. Tsai +15
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mapped the entire sky at mid-infrared wavelengths 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 microns. The mission was primarily designed to extract point so…
Submillimeter Follow-up of WISE-Selected Hyperluminous Galaxies
Jingwen Wu, Chao-Wei Tsai, Jack Sayers +20
We have used the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) to follow-up a sample of WISE-selected, hyperluminous galaxies, so called W1W2-dropout galaxies. This is a rare (~ 1000 all…
Constructing a WISE High Resolution Galaxy Atlas
T. H. Jarrett, F. Masci, C. W. Tsai +16
After eight months of continuous observations, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mapped the entire sky at 3.4 μm, 4.6 μm, 12 μm and 22 μm. We have begun a dedicated WI…
Mid-Infrared Selection of AGN with the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer. I. Characterizing WISE-Selected AGN in COSMOS
Daniel Stern, Roberto J. Assef, Dominic J. Benford +15
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) is an extremely capable and efficient black hole finder. We present a simple mid-infrared color criterion, W1-W2 \geq 0.8 (i.e., [3.4…
