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…

The Saga of M81: Global View of a Massive Stellar Halo in Formation

Adam Smercina, Eric F. Bell, Paul A. Price +7

Recent work has shown that Milky Way-mass galaxies display an incredible range of stellar halo properties, yet the origin of this diversity is unclear. The nearby galaxy M81 cu…

Correlations Between Black Holes and Host Galaxies in the Illustris and IllustrisTNG Simulations

Yuan Li, Melanie Habouzit, Shy Genel +11

We study black hole - host galaxy correlations, and the relation between the over-massiveness (the distance from the average relation) of super-massive black holes (SMBH…

Detailed study of the Milky Way globular cluster Laevens 3

Nicolas Longeard, Nicolas Martin, Rodrigo A. Ibata +4

We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the Milky Way satellite Laevens 3. Using MegaCam/CFHT g and i photometry and Keck II/DEIMOS multi-object spectroscopy, we refine…

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…

On the nature of a shell of young stars in the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud

David Martinez-Delgado, A. Katherina Vivas, Eva K. Grebel +35

Understanding the evolutionary history of the Magellanic Clouds requires an in-depth exploration and characterization of the stellar content in their outer regions, which ultimatel…
