A Tale of Two Tails: Exploring Stellar Populations in the Tidal Tails of NGC 3256
Michael Rodruck, Iraklis Konstantopoulos, Karen Knierman +7
We have developed an observing program using deep, multiband imaging to probe the chaotic regions of tidal tails in search of an underlying stellar population, using NGC 3256's 400…
The Binary Black Hole Model for Mrk 231 Bites the Dust
Karen M. Leighly, Donald M. Terndrup, Sarah C. Gallagher +1
Mrk 231 is a nearby quasar with an unusually red near-UV-to-optical continuum, generally explained as heavy reddening by dust (e.g., Leighly et al. 2014). Yan et al. 2015 proposed…
The Ultraviolet and Infrared Star Formation Rates of Compact Group Galaxies: An Expanded Sample
Laura Lenkic, Panayiotis Tzanavaris, Sarah Gallagher +8
Compact groups of galaxies provide insight into the role of low-mass, dense environments in galaxy evolution because the low velocity dispersions and close proximity of galaxy memb…
Insights into Quasar UV Spectra Using Unsupervised Clustering Analysis
Aycha Tammour, Sarah C. Gallagher, Mark Daley +1
Machine learning can provide powerful tools to detect patterns in multi-dimensional parameter space. We use K-means -a simple yet powerful unsupervised clustering algorithm which p…
Hierarchical Formation in Action: Characterizing Accelerated Galaxy Evolution in Compact Groups Using Whole-Sky WISE Data
Catherine Zucker, Lisa May Walker, Kelsey Johnson +3
Compact groups provide an environment to study the growth of galaxies amid multiple prolonged interactions. With their dense galaxy concentrations and relatively low velocity dispe…
