First stellar velocity dispersion measurement of a luminous quasar host with Gemini North laser guide star adaptive optics (2008)

Watson, Linda C., Martini, Paul, Dasyra, Kalliopi M., Bentz, Misty C., Ferrarese, Laura, Peterson, Bradley M., ...

We present the first use of the Gemini North laser guide star adaptive optics (LGS AO) system and an integral field unit (IFU) to measure the stellar velocity dispersion of the host of a luminous...

First-Year Spectroscopy for the SDSS-II Supernova Survey (2008)

Zheng, Chen, Romani, Roger W., Sako, Masao, Marriner, John, Bassett, Bruce, Becker, Andrew, ...

This paper presents spectroscopy of supernovae discovered in the first season of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey. This program searches for and measures multi-band light curves of...

Discovery of a Very Bright, Nearby Gravitational Microlensing Event (2007)

Gaudi, B. Scott, Patterson, Joseph, Spiegel, David S., Krajci, Thomas, Koff, R., Pojmanski, G., ...

We report the serendipitous detection of a very bright, very nearby microlensing event. In late October 2006, an otherwise unremarkable A0 star at a distance ~1 kpc (GSC 3656-1328) brightened...

Revisiting the Black Hole Masses of Soft X-ray-Selected Active Galactic Nuclei (2006)

Watson, Linda C., Mathur, Smita, Grupe, Dirk

In our previous work, using luminosity and the H-beta FWHM as surrogates for black hole mass (M_BH), we compared the black hole masses of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) and broad-line Seyfert...
