Connecting SDSS central galaxies to their host halos using total satellite luminosity
Mehmet Alpaslan, Jeremy L. Tinker
The total luminosity of satellite galaxies around a central galaxy, L, is a powerful metric for probing dark matter halos. In this paper we use data from the Sloan Digital…
Probing the galaxy-halo connection with total satellite luminosity
Jeremy L. Tinker, Junzhi Cao, Mehmet Alpaslan +3
We demonstrate how the total luminosity in satellite galaxies is a powerful probe of dark matter halos around central galaxies. The method cross-correlates central galaxies in spec…
The frequency of dust lanes in edge-on spiral galaxies identified by Galaxy Zoo in KiDS imaging of GAMA targets
B. W. Holwerda, L. Kelvin, I. Baldry +20
Dust lanes bisect the plane of a typical edge-on spiral galaxy as a dark optical absorption feature. Their appearance is linked to the gravitational stability of spiral disks; the…
Effect of galaxy mergers on star formation rates
W. J. Pearson, L. Wang, M. Alpaslan +8
Galaxy mergers and interactions are an integral part of our basic understanding of how galaxies grow and evolve over time. However, the effect that galaxy mergers have on star form…
The Neutral Gas Properties of Extremely Isolated Early-Type Galaxies III
Trisha Ashley, Pamela M. Marcum, Mehmet Alpaslan +2
We report on the neutral hydrogen gas content (21-cm emission) of eight extremely isolated early-type galaxies (IEGs) using the Green Bank Telescope. Emission is detected in seven…
On the observability of individual Population III stars and their stellar-mass black hole accretion disks through cluster caustic transits
Rogier A. Windhorst, M. Alpaslan, S. Andrews +44
Recent near-IR power-spectra and panchromatic Extragalactic Background Light measurements provide upper limits on the near-IR surface brightness (SB>31 mag/arcsec^2) that may come…
