THE ACS NEARBY GALAXY SURVEY TREASURY
- J. Dalcanton, B. Williams, T. Quinn
- Physics
- 1 December 2007
The ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury (ANGST) is a systematic survey to establish a legacy of uniform multi-color photometry of resolved stars for a volume-limited sample of nearby galaxies (D < 4…
THE CALIBRATION OF MONOCHROMATIC FAR-INFRARED STAR FORMATION RATE INDICATORS
- D. Calzetti, S.-Y. Wu, Y. Wu
- Physics
- 4 March 2010
Spitzer data at 24, 70, and 160 μm and ground-based Hα images are analyzed for a sample of 189 nearby star-forming and starburst galaxies to investigate whether reliable star formation rate (SFR)…
THE SPITZER LOCAL VOLUME LEGACY: SURVEY DESCRIPTION AND INFRARED PHOTOMETRY
The survey description and the near-, mid-, and far-infrared flux properties are presented for the 258 galaxies in the Local Volume Legacy (LVL). LVL is a Spitzer Space Telescope legacy program that…
THE ACS NEARBY GALAXY SURVEY TREASURY. IX. CONSTRAINING ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH EVOLUTION WITH OLD METAL-POOR GALAXIES
- L. Girardi, B. Williams, E. Skillman
- Physics
- 23 September 2010
In an attempt to constrain evolutionary models of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase at the limit of low masses and low metallicities, we have examined the luminosity functions and number ratios…
LSST Science Book, Version 2.0
- L. S. C. P. A. Abell, J. Allison, H. Zhan
- Physics
- 1 December 2009
A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade. The Large Synoptic…
THE STAR FORMATION HISTORIES OF LOCAL GROUP DWARF GALAXIES. I. HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE/WIDE FIELD PLANETARY CAMERA 2 OBSERVATIONS
- D. Weisz, A. Dolphin, B. Williams
- Physics
- 28 April 2014
We present uniformly measured star formation histories (SFHs) of 40 Local Group (LG) dwarf galaxies based on color–magnitude diagram (CMD) analysis from archival Hubble Space Telescope imaging. We…
THE NATURE OF STARBURSTS. I. THE STAR FORMATION HISTORIES OF EIGHTEEN NEARBY STARBURST DWARF GALAXIES
- K. McQuinn, E. Skillman, B. Williams
- Physics
- 9 August 2010
We use archival Hubble Space Telescope observations of resolved stellar populations to derive the star formation histories (SFHs) of 18 nearby starburst dwarf galaxies. In this first paper, we…
THE NATURE OF STARBURSTS. II. THE DURATION OF STARBURSTS IN DWARF GALAXIES
- K. McQuinn, E. Skillman, B. Williams
- Physics
- 15 September 2010
The starburst phenomenon can shape the evolution of the host galaxy and the surrounding intergalactic medium. The extent of the evolutionary impact is partly determined by the duration of the…
THE ACS NEARBY GALAXY SURVEY TREASURY. VIII. THE GLOBAL STAR FORMATION HISTORIES OF 60 DWARF GALAXIES IN THE LOCAL VOLUME
- D. Weisz, J. Dalcanton, D. Zaritsky
- Physics
- 5 January 2011
We present uniformly measured star formation histories (SFHs) of 60 nearby (D ≲ 4 Mpc) dwarf galaxies based on color–magnitude diagrams of resolved stellar populations from images taken with the…
Revised Bolometric Corrections and Interstellar Extinction Coefficients for the ACS and WFPC2 Photometric Systems
- L. Girardi, J. Dalcanton, for the ANGST/ANGRRR collaboration
- Physics
- 3 April 2008
We present extensive tables of bolometric corrections and interstellar extinction coefficients for the WFPC2 and ACS (both WFC and HRC) photometric systems. They are derived from synthetic photometry…
