Redshift evolution of the dynamical properties of massive galaxies from SDSS-III/BOSS

Alessandra Beifiori, Daniel Thomas, Claudia Maraston +26

We study the redshift evolution of the dynamical properties of ~180,000 massive galaxies from SDSS-III/BOSS combined with a local early-type galaxy sample from SDSS-II in the redsh…

A Search for Planetary Nebulae With the SDSS: the outer regions of M31

A. Y. Kniazev, E. K. Grebel, D. B. Zucker +3

We have developed a method to identify planetary nebula (PN) candidates in imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This method exploits the SDSS' five-band sampling of…

Host Galaxy Spectra and Consequences for SN Typing From The SDSS SN Survey

Matthew D. Olmstead, Peter J. Brown, Masao Sako +28

We present the spectroscopy from 5254 galaxies that hosted supernovae (SNe) or other transient events in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey II (SDSS-II). Obtained during SDSS-I, SDSS-II,…

The Open Cluster Chemical Analysis and Mapping Survey: Local Galactic Metallicity Gradient with APOGEE using SDSS DR10

Peter M. Frinchaboy, Benjamin Thompson, Kelly M. Jackson +31

The Open Cluster Chemical Analysis and Mapping (OCCAM) Survey aims to produce a comprehensive, uniform, infrared-based dataset for hundreds of open clusters, and constrain key Gala…

A glance at the host galaxy of high-redshift quasars using strong damped Lyman-alpha systems as coronagraphs

Hayley Finley, Patrick Petitjean, Isabelle Pâris +14

We searched quasar spectra from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) for the rare occurrences where a strong damped Lyman-alpha absorber (DLA) blocks the Bro…

Very Low Mass Stellar and Substellar Companions to Solar-like Stars From MARVELS IV: A Candidate Brown Dwarf or Low-Mass Stellar Companion to HIP 67526

Peng Jiang, Jian Ge, Phillip Cargile +50

We report the discovery of a candidate brown dwarf or a very low mass stellar companion (MARVELS-5b) to the star HIP 67526 from the Multi-object APO Radial Velocity Exoplanet Large…
