The Century Survey Galactic Halo Project III: A Complete 4300 deg^2 Survey of Blue Horizontal Branch Stars in the Metal-Weak Thick Disk and Inner Halo
Warren R. Brown, Timothy C. Beers, Ronald Wilhelm +4
We present a complete spectroscopic survey of 2414 2MASS-selected blue horizontal branch (BHB) candidates selected over 4300 deg^2 of the sky. We identify 655 BHB stars in this non…
Hypervelocity Stars III. The Space Density and Ejection History of Main Sequence Stars from the Galactic Center
Warren R. Brown, Margaret J. Geller, Scott J. Kenyon +2
We report the discovery of 3 new unbound hypervelocity stars (HVSs), stars traveling with such extreme velocities that dynamical ejection from a massive black hole (MBH) is their o…
Open Access does not increase citations for research articles from The Astrophysical Journal
Michael J. Kurtz, Edwin A. Henneken
We demonstrate conclusively that there is no "Open Access Advantage" for papers from the Astrophysical Journal. The two to one citation advantage enjoyed by papers deposited in the…
--PhotoZ: Photometric Redshifts by Inverting the Tolman Surface Brightness Test
Michael J. Kurtz, Margaret J. Geller, Daniel G. Fabricant +2
Surface brightness is a fundamental observational parameter of galaxies. We show, for the first time in detail, how it can be used to obtain photometric redshifts for galaxies, the…
Hypervelocity Stars II. The Bound Population
Warren R. Brown, Margaret J. Geller, Scott J. Kenyon +2
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are stars ejected completely out of the Milky Way by three-body interactions with the massive black hole in the Galactic center. We describe 643 new spec…
Finding Astronomical Communities Through Co-readership Analysis
Edwin A. Henneken, Michael J. Kurtz, Guenther Eichhorn +5
Whenever a large group of people are engaged in an activity, communities will form. The nature of these communities depends on the relationship considered. In the group of people w…
