The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA Derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools and Stellar Library

D. S. Aguado, Romina Ahumada, Andres Almeida +230

Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years o…

The stellar halo of isolated central galaxies in the Hyper Suprime-Cam imaging survey

Wenting Wang, Jiaxin Han, Alessandro Sonnenfeld +14

We study the faint stellar halo of isolated central galaxies, by stacking galaxy images in the HSC survey and accounting for the residual sky background sampled with random points.…

The circumgalactic medium of eBOSS emission line galaxies: signatures of galactic outflows in gas distribution and kinematics

Ting-Wen Lan, Houjun Mo

We study the distribution and kinematics of the cool circumgalactic medium (CGM) of emission line galaxies (ELGs) traced by metal absorption lines. Using about 200,000 ELGs from SD…
