The eleventh and twelfth data releases of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: final data from SDSS-III
- S. Alam, F. D. Albareti, +725 authors Key Laboratory of Optical Astronomy
- Physics, Geology
- 5 January 2015
The third generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-III) took data from 2008 to 2014 using the original SDSS wide-field imager, the original and an upgraded multi-object fiber-fed optical… Expand
The M-σ and M-L Relations in Galactic Bulges, and Determinations of Their Intrinsic Scatter
- K. Gultekin, D. Richstone, +37 authors Universit'e libre de Bruxelles
- Physics
- 27 March 2009
We derive improved versions of the relations between supermassive black hole mass (M BH) and host-galaxy bulge velocity dispersion (σ) and luminosity (L; the M-σ and M-L relations), based on 49 M BH… Expand
Critical Transitions in Nature and Society
- Anthony J. Dellureficio, N. Packard, +10 authors California
- 2010
“voluntary animal motion” interested physicians, scholars, and philosophers throughout history for a variety of purposes such as relating “voluntary motion” to the soul and understanding medical… Expand
The AKARI/IRC mid-infrared all-sky survey
- D. Ishihara, T. Onaka, +56 authors Sony Co. Ltd.
- Physics
- 1 March 2010
Context. AKARI is the first Japanese astronomical satellite dedicated to infrared astronomy. One of the main purposes of AKARI is the all-sky survey performed with six infrared bands between 9 μ m… Expand
KEPLER'S FIRST ROCKY PLANET: KEPLER-10b*
- N. Batalha, W. Borucki, +74 authors High Altitude Observatory
- Physics
- 3 February 2011
NASA's Kepler Mission uses transit photometry to determine the frequency of Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone of Sun-like stars. The mission reached a milestone toward meeting that… Expand
CANDELS: The Progenitors of Compact Quiescent Galaxies at z ~ 2
We combine high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope/WFC3 images with multi-wavelength photometry to track the evolution of structure and activity of massive (M > 1010 M ?) galaxies at redshifts z =… Expand
PLANETARY CANDIDATES OBSERVED BY KEPLER. III. ANALYSIS OF THE FIRST 16 MONTHS OF DATA
- N. Batalha, J. Rowe, +111 authors G. S. University
- Physics
- 27 February 2012
New transiting planet candidates are identified in 16 months (2009 May-2010 September) of data from the Kepler spacecraft. Nearly 5000 periodic transit-like signals are vetted against astrophysical… Expand
High-Velocity Clouds: Building Blocks of the Local Group
- L. Blitz, D. Spergel, +8 authors L. University
- Physics
- 20 March 1998
We suggest that the high-velocity clouds (HVCs) are large clouds, with typical diameters of 25 kpc, containing 3×107 M☉ of neutral gas and 3×108 M☉ of dark matter, falling onto the Local Group;… Expand
The old Nuclear Star Cluster in the Milky Way
- S. Chatzopoulos, T. Fritz, +7 authors Berkeley
- Physics
- 20 March 2014
We derive new constraints on the mass, rotation, orbit structure and statistical parallax of the Galactic old nuclear star cluster (NSC) and the mass of the supermassive black hole. We combine star… Expand
Detecting the Rise and Fall of 21 cm Fluctuations with the Murchison Widefield Array
- A. Lidz, Oliver Zahn, M. McQuinn, M. Zaldarriaga, Lars Hernquist Harvard-CfA, Berkeley
- Physics
- 27 November 2007
We forecast the sensitivity with which the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) can measure the 21 cm power spectrum of cosmic hydrogen. The MWA is sensitive to roughly a decade in scale (wavenumbers of… Expand
