We have developed a generalization of the Zeldovich approximation that is exact in a wide variety of situations, including planar, spherical, and cylindrical...
The Complex Infrared Dust Continuum Emission of NGC 1068: Ground-based N- and Q-band Spectroscopy and New Radiative Transfer Models
Thanks to ground-based infrared and submillimeter observations the study of the dusty torus of nearby active galactic nuclei has greatly advanced in the last...
The Complex Star Formation History of the Halo of NGC 5128 (Cen A)
NGC 5128 (Cen A) is the nearest giant elliptical galaxy and one of the brightest extragalactic radio sources in the sky, boasting a prominent dust lane and jets...
The Contribution of the Kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect from the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium to the Five-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe Data
We study the contribution of the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect, generated by the warm-hot intergalactic medium, to the cosmic microwave background...
The Cool Supergiant Population of the Massive Young Star Cluster RSGC1
We present new high-resolution near-IR spectroscopy and OH maser observations to investigate the population of cool luminous stars of the young massive Galactic...
The Cool Surge Following Flux Emergence in a Radiation-MHD Experiment
Cool and dense ejections, typically Hα surges, often appear alongside EUV or X-ray coronal jets as a result of the emergence of magnetized plasma from the solar...
The Coronae of AB Doradus and V471 Tauri: Primordial Angular Momentum versus Tidal Spin-up
The zero-age main-sequence star AB Dor and the K dwarf component of the V471 Tau close binary have essentially identical rotation rates and spectral types. An...
The Coronal Power Spectrum from MHD Mode Conversion above Sunspots
Sunspots are intense regions of magnetic flux that are rooted deep below the photosphere. It is well established that sunspots host magnetohydrodynamic waves...
The Correlation between Mixing Length and Metallicity on the Giant Branch: Implications for Ages in the Gaia Era
In the updated APOGEE-Kepler catalog, we have asteroseismic and spectroscopic data for over 3000 first ascent red giants. Given the size and accuracy of this...
