Large Scale Structures in the CANDELS Fields: The Role of the Environment in Star Formation Activity

Nima Chartab, Bahram Mobasher, Behnam Darvish +14

We present a robust method, weighted von Mises kernel density estimation, along with boundary correction to reconstruct the underlying number density field of galaxies. We apply th…

The colors and sizes of recently quenched galaxies: a result of compact starburst before quenching

Po-Feng Wu, Arjen van der Wel, Rachel Bezanson +11

We analyze the colors and sizes of 32 quiescent (UVJ-selected) galaxies with strong Balmer absorption ($\mbox{EW}(Hδ) \geq 4$Å) at drawn from DR2 of the LEGA-C survey to…

Enhancing Conference Participation to Bridge the Diversity Gap

Laura Prichard, Cristina Oliveira, Alessandra Aloisi +5

Conference attendance is fundamental for a successful career in astronomy. However, many factors limit such attendance in ways that can disproportionately affect women and minoriti…

Quenching as a Contest between Galaxy Halos and their Central Black Holes

Zhu Chen, S. M. Faber, David. C. Koo +27

Existing models of galaxy formation have not yet explained striking correlations between structure and star-formation activity in galaxies, notably the sloped and moving boundaries…

Increasing Gender Diversity and Inclusion in Scientific Committees and Related Activities at STScI

Gisella De Rosa, Cristina Oliveira, Camilla Pacifici +27

We present a new initiative by the Women in Astronomy Forum at Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) to increase gender diversity and inclusion in STScI's scientific committees…

Rejuvenation in quiescent galaxies in LEGA-C

Priscilla Chauke, Arjen van der Wel, Camilla Pacifici +12

We use reconstructed star-formation histories (SFHs) of quiescent galaxies at in the LEGA-C survey to identify secondary star-formation episodes that, after an initial pe…
