Dissecting the Red Sequence--I. Star Formation Histories of Quiescent Galaxies: The Color-Magnitude vs. the Color-Sigma Relation
Genevieve J. Graves, S. M. Faber, Ricardo P. Schiavon
We use a sample of ~16,000 non-emission line galaxies from the SDSS to investigate the physical parameters underlying the well-known color-magnitude and color-sigma relations. Gala…
Inspiralling Supermassive Black Holes: A New Signpost for Galaxy Mergers
Julia M. Comerford, Brian F. Gerke, Jeffrey A. Newman +8
We present a new technique for observationally identifying galaxy mergers spectroscopically rather than through host galaxy imaging. Our technique exploits the dynamics of supermas…
AEGIS-X: The Chandra Deep Survey of the Extended Groth Strip
E. S. Laird, K. Nandra, A. Georgakakis +11
We present the AEGIS-X survey, a series of deep Chandra ACIS-I observations of the Extended Groth Strip. The survey comprises pointings at 8 separate positions, each with nominal e…
A Stellar Dynamical Measurement of the Black Hole Mass in the Maser Galaxy NGC 4258
Christos Siopis, Karl Gebhardt, Tod R. Lauer +13
We determine the mass of the black hole at the center of the spiral galaxy NGC 4258 by constructing axisymmetric dynamical models of the galaxy. These models are constrained by hig…
The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Environments of Poststarburst Galaxies at z~0.1 and z~0.8
Renbin Yan, Jeffrey A. Newman, S. M. Faber +6
Postststarburst (K+A) galaxies are candidates for galaxies in transition from a star-forming phase to a passively-evolving phase. We have spectroscopically identified large samples…
The stellar population histories of early-type galaxies. III. The Coma Cluster
S. C. Trager, S. M. Faber, Alan Dressler
We present stellar population parameters of twelve early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the Coma Cluster based on spectra obtained using the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph on the Kec…
