DDO 187: Do Dwarf Galaxies Have Extended, Old Halos?
If dwarf galaxies are primeval objects in the universe, as hierarchical galaxy formation scenarios predict, they should show traces of their old stellar...
DDO 44 and UGC 4998: Distances, Metallicities, and Star Formation Histories
We have obtained deep HST imaging of two candidate dwarf systems in the nearby M81 Group, DDO 44 and UGC 4998. Both are isolated, low surface brightness systems...
Deciphering Quasar Millilensing How to Distinguish Between Dark and Luminous Lenses
Dwarf-galaxy sized dark matter halos may be detectable when a bright background source is gravitationally lensed on scales of milliarcseconds. Such effects can...
Deciphering the Activity and Quiescence of High-redshift Cluster Environments: ALMA Observations of Cl J1449+0856 at z = 2
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of the 870 μm continuum and CO(4-3) line emission in the core of the galaxy cluster Cl...
Deciphering the imprint of active galactic nucleus feedback in Seyfert galaxies: Nuclear-scale molecular gas deficits
We study the distribution of cold molecular gas in the circumunuclear disks (CND; r ≤ 200 pc) of a sample of 64 nearby (D L = 7 ‑ 45 Mpc) disk galaxies –...
Deconstructing double-barred galaxies in 2D and 3D - I. Classical nature of the dominant bulges
We present here a thorough photometric analysis of double-barred galaxies, consisting of (i) two-dimensional photometric decompositions including a bulge, inner...
Deconstructing double-barred galaxies in 2D and 3D - II. Two distinct groups of inner bars
The intrinsic photometric properties of inner and outer stellar bars within 17 double-barred galaxies are thoroughly studied through a photometric analysis...
Deconstructing the narrow-line region of the nearest obscured quasar
We study the physical and kinematic properties of the narrow-line region (NLR) of the nearest obscured quasar MRK 477 (z = 0.037), using optical and near...
Decreased Frequency of Strong Bars in S0 Galaxies: Evidence for Secular Evolution?
Using data from the Near-Infrared S0 Survey of nearby, early-type galaxies, we examine the distribution of bar strengths in S0 galaxies as compared to S0/a and...
