Massive Compact Galaxies with High-Velocity Outflows: Morphological Analysis and Constraints on AGN Activity

TLDR
In this article, the authors present a method to detect the presence of a single star in the sky using a single photon and a single light-emitting diode (LED) detector.

Parameter estimation in astronomy through application of the likelihood ratio. [satellite data analysis techniques

W. Cash
TL;DR: In this article, the experimental estimation of parameters for models can be solved through use of the likelihood ratio test, with particular attention to photon counting experiments, and procedures presented solve a greater range of problems than those currently in use, yet are no more difficult to apply.

Identifying Luminous AGN in Deep Surveys: Revised IRAC Selection Criteria

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the large samples of luminous AGN and high red-redshift star-forming galaxies in COSMOS to redefine the AGN selection criteria for use in deep IRAC surveys.

The Panchromatic Starburst Intensity Limit At Low And High Redshift

TL;DR: In this paper, the integrated bolometric effective surface brightness S_e distributions of starbursts are investigated for samples observed in 1.1 -10 kpc, and little evolution out to redshifts z ~ 3.

An origin for multiphase gas in galactic winds and haloes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that radiative cooling in initially hot thermally-driven outflows can produce fast neutral atomic and photoionized cool gas, which can explain its prevalence in galactic halos.

Dynamics of dusty radiation-pressure-driven shells and clouds: fast outflows from galaxies, star clusters, massive stars, and AGN

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that if the shell or cloud is initially optically-thick to the UV emission from the source of luminosity L, then there is a significant boost in V that reflects the integral of the momentum absorbed as it is accelerated, which can explain the ~1000-2000km/s outflows observed from rapidly star-forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei if the surrounding halo has low gas density.

Stellar population synthesis at the resolution of 2003

TL;DR: In this article, the spectral evolution of stellar populations at ages between 100,000 yr and 20 Gyr at a resolution of 3 A across the whole wavelength range from 3200 to 9500 A for a wide range of metallicities.

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Technical Summary

Donald G. York
- 27 Jun 2000 - 
TL;DR: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) as mentioned in this paper provides the data to support detailed investigations of the distribution of luminous and non-luminous matter in the Universe: a photometrically and astrometrically calibrated digital imaging survey of pi steradians above about Galactic latitude 30 degrees in five broad optical bands.

Galactic stellar and substellar initial mass function

TL;DR: A review of the present-day mass function and initial mass function in various components of the Galaxy (disk, spheroid, young, and globular clusters) and in conditions characteristic of early star formation is presented in this paper.
