Padgett,Fan Fang,Tim Conrow,Alberto Franceschini,Nick Gautier,Matthew Joseph Griffin,Perry B. Hacking,Frank J. Masci,Glenn Morrison,J. O'Linger,Frazer N. Owen,Ismael Perez-Fournon,Marguerite Pierre,R. C. Puetter,Gordon J. Stacey,Sandra Castro,Maria del Carmen Polletta,Duncan Farrah,Thomas H. Jarrett,Dave Frayer,Brian Siana,Tom Babbedge,Simon Dye,M. Fox,Eduardo Gonzalez-Solares,Malcolm Salaman,Stefano Berta,James J. Condon,Herve Dole,Steve Serjeant +36 more
TL;DR: The SIRTF Wide Area Infrared Extragalactic Survey (SWIRE) as discussed by the authors is a legacy program of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) that has been used to trace the evolution of galaxies, star forming and active galactic nuclei.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Age-Metallicity Relation of the Universe in Neutral Gas: The First 100 Damped Lyα Systems
Jason X. Prochaska,Jason X. Prochaska,Eric Gawiser,Arthur M. Wolfe,Arthur M. Wolfe,Sandra Castro,S. G. Djorgovski +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, accurate metallicity measurements for 125 damped Lyα (DLA) systems at 0.5 < z < 5, including ≈ 50 new measurements from our recently published Echellette Spectrograph and Imager surveys are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The chromosome 6p22 haplotype associated with dyslexia reduces the expression of KIAA0319, a novel gene involved in neuronal migration
Silvia Paracchini,Ankur M Thomas,Sandra Castro,Cecilia Lai,Murugan Paramasivam,Yu Wang,Brendan J. Keating,Jennifer M. Taylor,Douglas F. Hacking,Thomas S. Scerri,Clyde Francks,Alex J. Richardson,Richard Wade-Martins,John F. Stein,Julian C. Knight,Andrew J. Copp,Joseph J. LoTurco,Anthony P. Monaco +17 more
TL;DR: The data suggest a direct link between a specific genetic background and a biological mechanism leading to the development of dyslexia: the risk haplotype on chromosome 6p22.2 down-regulates the KIAA0319 gene which is required for neuronal migration during the formation of the cerebral neocortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Threshold of the Reionization Epoch
TL;DR: In this article, Keck spectroscopy of the quasar SDSS 1044-0125, at z = 5.73, is presented as a signature of the trailing edge of the cosmic reionization epoch, which is estimated to occur around z ~ 6 and extending down to z ~ 5.2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Draco 119: A Remarkable Heavy-Element-deficient Giant*
TL;DR: In this article, the abundance analysis of the most metal-poor star currently known to be a member of a dwarf galaxy, the Draco dSph red giant D119, is presented.
