Advances in constraining intrinsic alignment models with hydrodynamic simulations

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We use galaxies from the ILLUSTRISTNG, MASSIVEBLACK-II, and ILLUSTRTS-1 hydrodynamic simulations to investigate the behaviour of large scale galaxy intrinsic alignments. Our analysis spans four redshift slices over the approximate range of contemporary len ...

Does concentration drive the scatter in the stellar-to-halo mass relation of galaxy clusters?

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Jun Zhang, Wei Cui

Concentration is one of the key dark matter halo properties that could drive the scatter in the stellar-to-halo mass relation of massive clusters. We derive robust photometric stellar masses for a sample of brightest central galaxies (BCGs) in SDSS REDMAPP ...

The Pristine survey - X. A large population of low-metallicity stars permeates the Galactic disc

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard, Romain Ely Roland Lucchesi

The orbits of the least chemically enriched stars open a window on the formation of our Galaxy when it was still in its infancy. The common picture is that these low-metallicity stars are distributed as an isotropic, pressure-supported component since thes ...

The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) I: tracing the kinematics of metal-poor stars in the Galactic bulge

Carmela Lardo, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

Our Galaxy is known to contain a central boxy/peanut-shaped bulge, yet the importance of a classical, pressure-supported component within the central part of the Milky Way is still being debated. It should be most visible at low metallicity, a regime that ...

Detecting galaxy-filament alignments in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III

Jonathan Andrew Blazek, Yuguang Chen

Previous studies have shown the filamentary structures in the cosmic web influence the alignments of nearby galaxies. We study this effect in the LOWZ sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using the 'Cosmic Web Reconstruction' filament catalogue. We find ...

Machine-learning Classifiers for Intermediate Redshift Emission-line Galaxies

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Comparat, Christoph Ernst René Schäfer, David Schlegel

Classification of intermediate redshift (z = 0.3-0.8) emission line galaxies as star-forming galaxies, composite galaxies, active galactic nuclei (AGNs), or low-ionization nuclear emission regions (LINERs) using optical spectra alone was impossible because ...

Molecular clouds in the Cosmic Snake normal star-forming galaxy 8 billion years ago

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Daniel Pfenniger, Johan Richard

The cold molecular gas in contemporary galaxies is structured in discrete cloud complexes. These giant molecular clouds (GMCs), with 10(4)-10(7) solar masses (M-circle dot) and radii of 5-100 parsecs, are the seeds of star formation(1). Highlighting the mo ...

Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV: Mapping the Milky Way, Nearby Galaxies, and the Distant Universe

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, Zheng Zheng, Johan Comparat, David Schlegel, John Wilson, Chao Liu, Yuting Wang, Amy Jones

We describe the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV), a project encompassing three major spectroscopic programs. The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2) is observing hundreds of thousands of Milky Way stars at high resoluti ...

The Mass-Concentration Relation and the Stellar-to-halo Mass Ratio in the CFHT Stripe 82 Survey

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Comparat, Huanyuan Shan

We present a new measurement of the mass-concentration relation and the stellar-to-halo mass ratio over the halo-mass range 5 x 10(12) to 2 x 10(14) M circle dot. To achieve this, we use weak lensing measurements from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Str ...

The 13th Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-IV Survey Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Zheng Zheng, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, Michael James Henry Smith, Yang Gao, Cheng Zhao, Johan Comparat, David Schlegel, John Wilson

The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) began observations in 2014 July. It pursues three core programs: the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2), Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA), and the Extend ...
