The Sloan Lens ACS Survey. XIII. Discovery of 40 New Galaxy-Scale Strong Lenses
Yiping Shu, Joel R. Brownstein, Adam S. Bolton +8
We present the full sample of 118 galaxy-scale strong-lens candidates in the Sloan Lens ACS (SLACS) Survey for the Masses (S4TM) Survey, which are spectroscopically selected from t…
A Radio Relic and a Search for the Central Black Hole in the Abell 2261 Brightest Cluster Galaxy
Sarah Burke-Spolaor, Kayhan Gultekin, Marc Postman +4
We present VLA images and HST/STIS spectra of sources within the center of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in Abell 2261. These observations were obtained to test the hypothesis…
The LUVOIR Ultraviolet Multi-Object Spectrograph (LUMOS): Instrument Definition and Design
Kevin France, Brian Fleming, Garrett West +12
The Large Ultraviolet / Optical / Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR) is one of four large mission concepts currently undergoing community study for consideration by the 2020 Astronomy and…
Theia: Faint objects in motion or the new astrometry frontier
The Theia Collaboration, Celine Boehm, Alberto Krone-Martins +96
In the context of the ESA M5 (medium mission) call we proposed a new satellite mission, Theia, based on relative astrometry and extreme precision to study the motion of very faint…
The role of the most luminous, obscured AGN in galaxy assembly at z~2
Duncan Farrah, Sara Petty, Brian Connolly +14
We present HST WFC3 F160W imaging and infrared spectral energy distributions for twelve extremely luminous, obscured AGN at , selected via "Hot, Dust Obscured" mid-infra…
The Effects of Ram-pressure Stripping and Supernova Winds on the Tidal Stirring of Disky Dwarfs: Enhanced Transformation into Dwarf Spheroidals
Stelios Kazantzidis, Lucio Mayer, Simone Callegari +2
A conclusive model for the formation of dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies still remains elusive. Owing to their proximity to the massive spirals Milky Way (MW) and M31, various envi…
