It has recently been shown that the correct halo mass function high-mass behavior may be obtained by an appropriate treatment of the all-mass-at-center problem...
The Hanle and Zeeman Effects in Solar Spicules: A Novel Diagnostic Window on Chromospheric Magnetism
An attractive diagnostic tool for investigating the magnetism of the solar chromosphere is the observation and theoretical modeling of the Hanle and Zeeman...
The High-Excitation Planetary Nebula NGC 246: Optical and Near-Ultraviolet Observations and Two-dimensional Numerical Models
We have imaged the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 246 in the near-ultraviolet wavelengths [Ne V] 342.6 nm, the Bowen fluorescence line of O III at 344.4 nm, and a...
The Highly Energetic Expansion of SN 2010bh Associated with GRB 100316D
We present the spectroscopic and photometric evolution of the nearby (z = 0.059) spectroscopically confirmed Type Ic supernova, SN 2010bh, associated with the...
The History of a Quiet-Sun Magnetic Element Revealed by IMaX/SUNRISE
Isolated flux tubes are considered to be fundamental magnetic building blocks of the solar photosphere. Their formation is usually attributed to the...
The Hobby-Eberly Telescope Chemical Abundances of Stars in the Halo (CASH) Project. I. The Lithium-, s-, and r-enhanced Metal-poor Giant HKII 17435-00532
We present the first detailed abundance analysis of the metal-poor giant HKII 17435-00532. This star was observed as part of the University of Texas long-term...
The Horizontal Magnetic Flux of the Quiet-Sun Internetwork as Observed with the Hinode Spectro-Polarimeter
Observations of very quiet Sun using the Solar Optical Telescope/Spectro-Polarimeter (SOT/SP) aboard the Hinode spacecraft reveal that the quiet internetwork...
The Host Galaxies of Radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei: The Black Hole-Galaxy Connection
We have studied the host galaxies of a sample of radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) spanning more than 4 decades in the energy output of the nucleus. The...
Infrared images of the Q0957+561 gravitational lens obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope show two large (~5") lensed images of the zs=1.41 quasar host...
