Albareti, F. D., Prieto, C. A., Almeida, A., Anders, F., Anderson, S., Andrews, B. H., …and 125 authors. (2017). The 13th data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: first spectroscopic data from the SDSS-IV survey mapping nearby galaxies at Apache Point Observatory. Astrophysical Journal Supplement, 233(2), https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4365/aa8992

The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) began observations in 2014 July. It pursues three core programs: the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2), Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA), and the...

Determining the halo mass scale where galaxies lose their gas (2017)
Journal Article
Rudnick, G., Jablonka, P., Moustakas, J., Aragón-Salamanca, A., Zaritsky, D., Jaffe, Y. L., …Poggianti, B. (2017). Determining the halo mass scale where galaxies lose their gas. Astrophysical Journal, 850(2), Article 181. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aa866c

A major question in galaxy formation is how the gas supply that fuels activity in galaxies is modulated by their environment. We use spectroscopy of a set of well characterized clusters and groups at $0.45$\AA\ is $f_{[OII]}=0.08^{+0.03}_{-0.02}$ and...

SDSS-IV MaNGA: the different quenching histories of fast and slow rotators (2017)
Journal Article

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 473(2), 2679-2687. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2547

Do the theorised different formation mechanisms of fast and slow rotators produce an observable difference in their star formation histories? To study this we identify quenching slow rotators in the MaNGA sample by selecting those which lie below the...

We describe the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV), a project encompassing three major spectroscopic programs. The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2) is observing hundreds of thousands of Milky Way stars at high re...

OMEGA - OSIRIS mapping of emission-line galaxies in A901/2: III. - Galaxy properties across projected phase space in A901/2. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 471(1), 182-200. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx1525

We conduct a comprehensive projected phase-space analysis of the A901/2 multicluster system at z ∼ 0.165. Aggregating redshifts from spectroscopy, tunable-filter imaging and prism techniques, we assemble a sample of 856 cluster galaxies reaching 108....
