Unfolding the Laws of Star Formation: The Density Distribution of
Molecular Clouds: The formation of stars shapes the structure and evolution of entire galaxies.
The rate and efficiency of this process are affected substantially by the
density structure of the individual molecular clouds in which stars form. The
most... | astro-ph_GA |
The Effects of Stellar Population and Gas Covering Fraction on the
Emergent Lyman Alpha Emission of High-Redshift Galaxies: We perform joint modeling of the composite rest-frame far-UV (FUV) and
optical spectra of redshift 1.85<z<3.49 star-forming galaxies to deduce key
properties of the massive stars, ionized ISM, a... | astro-ph_GA |
The HST/ACS star formation history of the Tucana dwarf spheroidal
galaxy: clues from the horizontal branch: We report a new star formation history for the Tucana dwarf spheroidal
galaxy, obtained from a new look at a deep HST/ACS colour-magnitude diagram. We
combined information from the main sequence turn-off and th... | astro-ph_GA |
The building blocks of the Milky Way halo using APOGEE and Gaia -- or --
Is the Galaxy a typical galaxy?: We summarise recent results from analysis of APOGEE/Gaia data for stellar
populations in the Galactic halo, disk, and bulge, leading to constraints on
the contribution of dwarf galaxies and globular clusters to t... | astro-ph_GA |
High resolution elemental abundance analysis of the Hyades Supercluster: The existence of a kinematically defined moving group of stars centred at U =
-40, V = -17 km/s referred to as the Hyades Supercluster, has been suggested as
the debris of an originally large star forming event, with its core being the
present day... | astro-ph_GA |
Gaseous-phase metallicities and stellar populations in the centres of
barred galaxies: Numerical simulations predict that bars represent a very important agent for
triggering gas inflows, which in turn could lead to central star formation.
Bars thus are thought to contribute to the formation of the bulge.This changes... | astro-ph_GA |
Enhanced tidal disruption rates from massive black hole binaries: "Hard" massive black hole (MBH) binaries embedded in steep stellar cusps can
shrink via three-body slingshot interactions. We show that this process will
inevitably be accompanied by a burst of stellar tidal disruptions, at a rate
that can be several ord... | astro-ph_GA |
A highly magnified gravitationally lensed red quasar at z = 2.5 with
significant flux anomaly: Uncovering a missing population: We present the discovery of a gravitationally lensed dust-reddened QSO at
$z=2.517$ discovered in a survey for red QSOs by infrared selection.

The Green Bank Ammonia Survey (GAS): First Results of NH3 mapping the
Gould Belt: We present an overview of the first data release (DR1) and first-look science
from the Green Bank Ammonia Survey (GAS). GAS is a Large Program at the Green
Bank Telescope to map all Gould Belt star-forming regions with $A_V \gtrsim 7$
