Tracing Inflows and Outflows with Absorption Lines in Circumgalactic Gas

Amanda Brady Ford, Romeel Davé, Benjamin D. Oppenheimer +4

We examine how HI and metal absorption lines within low-redshift galaxy halos trace the dynamical state of circumgalactic gas, using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations that incl…

Torque-Limited Growth of Massive Black Holes in Galaxies Across Cosmic Time

Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Feryal Özel, Romeel Davé +3

We combine cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with analytic models to evaluate the role of galaxy-scale gravitational torques on the evolution of massive black holes at the cent…

A Preliminary Calibration of the RR Lyrae Period-Luminosity Relation at Mid-Infrared Wavelengths: WISE Data

Barry F. Madore, Douglas Hoffman, Wendy L. Freedman +6

Using time-resolved, mid-infrared data from WISE and geometric parallaxes from HST for four Galactic RR Lyrae variables, we derive the following Population II Period-Luminosity (PL…

The Spectrally Resolved Lyman-alpha Emission of Three Lyman-alpha Selected Field Galaxies at z~2.4 from the HETDEX Pilot Survey

Taylor S. Chonis, Guillermo A. Blanc, Gary J. Hill +11

We present new results on the spectrally resolved Lyman-alpha (LyA) emission of three LyA emitting field galaxies at z~2.4 with high LyA equivalent width (>100 Angstroms) and LyA l…

The Circular Velocity Function of Group Galaxies

Louis E. Abramson, Rik J. Williams, Andrew J. Benson +2

A robust prediction of cosmology is the halo circular velocity function (CVF), a dynamical cousin of the halo mass function. The correspondence between theoretical and…

The Neutral Hydrogen Content of Galaxies in Cosmological Hydrodynamic Simulations

Romeel Davé, Neal Katz, Benjamin D. Oppenheimer +2

We examine the global HI properties of galaxies in quarter-billion particle cosmological simulations using Gadget-2, focusing on how galactic outflows impact HI content. We conside…
