On the Correlations of Massive Black Holes with their Host Galaxies
Gregory S. Novak, S. M. Faber, Avishai Dekel
We address the correlations of black hole (BH) mass with four different host-galaxy properties from eleven existing data sets. To guide theoretical understanding, we first try to q…
Measuring the Growth of Structure with Spectroscopically Identified Groups and Clusters
M. Davis, B. F. Gerke, A. L. Coil +6
Number counts of galaxy clusters offer a very promising probe of the Dark Energy (DE) equation-of-state parameter, . The basic goal is to measure abundances of these objects as…
The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Clustering of Groups and Group Galaxies at z~1
Alison L. Coil, Brian F. Gerke, Jeffrey A. Newman +7
We study the clustering properties of groups and of galaxies in groups in the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey dataset at z~1. Four clustering measures are presented: 1) the group corr…
Galaxy Luminosity Functions to z~1: DEEP2 vs. COMBO-17 and Implications for Red Galaxy Formation
S. M. Faber, C. N. A. Willmer, C. Wolf +28
The DEEP2 and COMBO-17 surveys are used to study the evolution of the luminosity function of red and blue galaxies to . Schechter function fits show that, since ,…
Hot Stars in Old Stellar Populations: A Continuing Need for Intermediate Ages
S. C. Trager, Guy Worthey, S. M. Faber +1
We investigate the effect of a small contamination of hot, old, metal-poor starlight on the inferred stellar populations of early-type galaxies in the core of the Coma Cluster. We…
Characterizing the Adaptive Optics Off-Axis Point-Spread Function. II. Methods for Use in Laser Guide Star Observations
E. Steinbring, S. M. Faber, B. A. Macintosh +2
Most current astronomical adaptive optics (AO) systems rely on the availability of a bright star to measure the distortion of the incoming wavefront. Replacing the guide star with…
