DOI: 10.1088/2041-8205/758/1/L19 Bibcode: 2012ApJ...758L..19H

Kuzuhara, M.; Tamura, M.; Ishii, M. +52 more

We present high-resolution H-band polarized intensity (FWHM = 0farcs1: 14 AU) and L'-band imaging data (FWHM = 0farcs11: 15 AU) of the circumstellar disk around the weak-lined T Tauri star PDS 70 in Centaurus at a radial distance of 28 AU (0farcs2) up to 210 AU (1farcs5). In both images, a giant inner gap is clearly resolved for the first time, an…

Herschel-ATLAS: multi-wavelength SEDs and physical properties of 250 µm selected galaxies at z < 0.5
DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21930.x Bibcode: 2012MNRAS.427..703S

Ivison, R. J.; Clements, D. L.; Scott, D. +38 more

We present a pan-chromatic analysis of an unprecedented sample of 1402 250 µm selected galaxies at z < 0.5 (z¯=0.24) from the Herschel-ATLAS survey. We complement our Herschel 100-500 µm data with UV-K-band photometry from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey and apply the MAGPHYS energy-balance technique to produce pan-chroma…

A multi-scale, multi-wavelength source extraction method: getsources
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201218797 Bibcode: 2012A&A...542A..81M

André, Ph.; Schneider, N.; Men'shchikov, A. +3 more

We present a multi-scale, multi-wavelength source extraction algorithm called getsources. Although it has been designed primarily for use in the far-infrared surveys of Galactic star-forming regions with Herschel, the method can be applied to many other astronomical images. Instead of the traditional approach of extracting sources in the observed …

IDCS J1426.5+3508: Discovery of a Massive, Infrared-selected Galaxy Cluster at z = 1.75
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/753/2/164 Bibcode: 2012ApJ...753..164S

Dey, Arjun; Gonzalez, Anthony H.; Stanford, S. A. +6 more

We report the discovery of an IR-selected massive galaxy cluster in the IRAC Deep Cluster Survey (IDCS). We present new data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the W. M. Keck Observatory that spectroscopically confirm IDCS J1426.5+3508 at z = 1.75. Moreover, the cluster is detected in archival Chandra data as an extended X-ray source, comprising …

On the Detection of Ionizing Radiation Arising from Star-forming Galaxies at Redshift z ~ 3-4: Looking for Analogs of "Stellar Re-ionizers"
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/751/1/70 Bibcode: 2012ApJ...751...70V

Castellano, Marco; Dickinson, Mark; Ferguson, Henry C. +15 more

We use the spatially resolved, multi-band photometry in the GOODS South field acquired by the CANDELS project to constrain the nature of candidate Lyman continuum (LyC) emitters at redshift z ~ 3.7 identified using ultradeep imaging below the Lyman limit (1σ limit of ≈30 AB in a 2'' diameter aperture). In 19 candidates out of a sample of 20 with f…

The Properties and Prevalence of Galactic Outflows at z ~ 1 in the Extended Groth Strip
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/758/2/135 Bibcode: 2012ApJ...758..135K

Martin, Crystal L.; Shapley, Alice E.; Coil, Alison L. +5 more

We investigate galactic-scale outflowing winds in 72 star-forming galaxies at z ~ 1 in the Extended Groth Strip. Galaxies were selected from the DEEP2 survey and follow-up LRIS spectroscopy was obtained covering Si II, C IV, Fe II, Mg II, and Mg I lines in the rest-frame ultraviolet. Using Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), Hubble Space Telescope …

CANDELS Observations of the Structural Properties of Cluster Galaxies at z = 1.62

Wuyts, S.; Ferguson, H. C.; Finkelstein, S. L. +25 more

We discuss the structural and morphological properties of galaxies in a z = 1.62 proto-cluster using near-IR imaging data from Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 data of the Cosmic Assembly Near-IR Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS). The cluster galaxies exhibit a clear color-morphology relation: galaxies with colors of quiescent s…

Discovery of radio haloes and double relics in distant MACS galaxy clusters: clues to the efficiency of particle acceleration
DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21570.x Bibcode: 2012MNRAS.426...40B

Vazza, F.; Edge, A. C.; Bonafede, A. +6 more

We have performed 323 MHz observations with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope of the most promising candidates selected from the MACS catalogue. The aim of the work is to extend our knowledge of the radio halo and relic populations to z > 0.3, the epoch in which massive clusters are formed. In MACSJ1149.5+2223 and MACSJ1752.1+4440, we discove…

Not Dead Yet: Cool Circumgalactic Gas in the Halos of Early-type Galaxies
DOI: 10.1088/2041-8205/758/2/L41 Bibcode: 2012ApJ...758L..41T

Tripp, Todd M.; Prochaska, J. Xavier; Sembach, Kenneth R. +10 more

We report new observations of circumgalactic gas in the halos of early-type galaxies (ETGs) obtained by the COS-Halos Survey with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope. We find that detections of H I surrounding ETGs are typically as common and strong as around star-forming galaxies, implying that the total mass of ci…

Verifying Asteroseismically Determined Parameters of Kepler Stars Using Hipparcos Parallaxes: Self-consistent Stellar Properties and Distances
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/757/1/99 Bibcode: 2012ApJ...757...99S

Christensen-Dalsgaard, J.; Weiss, A.; García, R. A. +24 more

Accurately determining the properties of stars is of prime importance for characterizing stellar populations in our Galaxy. The field of asteroseismology has been thought to be particularly successful in such an endeavor for stars in different evolutionary stages. However, to fully exploit its potential, robust methods for estimating stellar param…
