Low Metallicities and Old Ages for Three Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in the Coma Cluster

Meng Gu, Charlie Conroy, David Law +17

A large population of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) was recently discovered in the Coma cluster. Here we present optical spectra of three such UDGs, DF7, DF44 and DF17, which have…

The clustering of the SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey DR14 quasar sample: First measurement of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations between redshift 0.8 and 2.2

Metin Ata, Falk Baumgarten, Julian Bautista +60

We present measurements of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) scale in redshift-space using the clustering of quasars. We consider a sample of 147,000 quasars from the extended…

Substructure in bulk velocities of Milky Way disk stars

Jeffrey L. Carlin, James DeLaunay, Heidi Jo Newberg +11

We find that Galactic disk stars near the anticenter exhibit velocity asymmetries in both the Galactocentric radial and vertical components across the mid-plane as well as azimutha…
