Nanodiamond Dust and the Far-Ultraviolet Quasar Break
We explore the possibility that the steepening observed shortward of 1000 Å in the energy distribution of quasars may result from absorption by dust, being...
Near-Infrared Adaptive Optics Imaging of High-Redshift Quasars
The properties of high-redshift quasar host galaxies are studied in order to investigate the connection between galaxy evolution, nuclear activity, and the...
Near-Infrared Galaxy Counts and Evolution from the Wide-Field ALHAMBRA Survey
The ALHAMBRA survey aims to cover 4 deg2 using a system of 20 contiguous, equal width, medium-band filters spanning the range 3500 Å-9700 Å plus the standard...
Near-infrared Linear Polarization of Ultracool Dwarfs
We report on near-infrared J- and H-band linear polarimetric photometry of eight ultracool dwarfs (two late-M, five L0-L7.5, and one T2.5) with known evidence...
Near-Infrared Observations of BL Lacertae Host Galaxies
Multiband near-infrared images of 12 BL Lacertae objects were obtained with the 2.5 m telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in order to determine the...
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of Seyfert Galaxies. Nuclear Activity and Stellar Population
Near-infrared (near-IR) spectroscopic data for the five Seyfert galaxies with jet-gas interaction Mrk 348, Mrk 573, Mrk 1066, NGC 7212, and NGC 7465, taken with...
NEID Rossiter-McLaughlin Measurement of TOI-1268b: A Young Warm Saturn Aligned with Its Cool Host Star
Close-in gas giants present a surprising range of stellar obliquity, the angle between a planet's orbital axis and its host star's spin axis. It is unclear...
NEOWISE Observations of Near-Earth Objects: Preliminary Results
With the NEOWISE portion of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) project, we have carried out a highly uniform survey of the near-Earth object (NEO)...
Nested and Single Bars in Seyfert and Non-Seyfert Galaxies
We analyze the observed properties of nested and single stellar bar systems in disk galaxies. The 112 galaxies in our sample comprise the largest matched...
