Training the Next Generation of Astronomers (2009)
Williams, Peter K. G., Huff, Eric, Maness, Holly, Modjaz, Maryam, Shapiro, Kristen L., Silverman, Jeffrey M., ...
While both society and astronomy have evolved greatly over the past fifty years, the academic institutions and incentives that shape our field have remained largely stagnant. As a result, the...
Probing Quiescent Massive Black Holes: Insights from Tidal Disruption Events (2009)
Gezari, Suvi, Strubbe, Linda, Bloom, Joshua S., Grindlay, J. E., Soderberg, Alicia, Elvis, Martin, ...
Tidal disruption events provide a unique probe of quiescent black holes in the nuclei of distant galaxies. The next generation of synoptic surveys will yield a large sample of flares from the tidal...
Evolution of the bar fraction in COSMOS: quantifying the assembly of the Hubble sequence (2008)
Sheth, Kartik, Elmegreen, Debra Meloy, Elmegreen, Bruce G., Capak, Peter, Abraham, Roberto G., Athanassoula, E., ...
We have analyzed the redshift-dependent fraction of galactic bars over 0.2 < z < 0.84 in 2157 luminous face-on spiral galaxies from the COSMOS 2 deg^2 field. Our sample is an order of magnitude...

We have analyzed the redshift-dependent fraction of galactic bars over 0.2
Evolution of the Bar Fraction in COSMOS: Quantifying the Assembly of the Hubble Sequence (2007)
Sheth, Kartik, Elmegreen, Debra Meloy, Elmegreen, Bruce G., Capak, Peter, Abraham, Roberto G., Athanassoula, E., ...
We have analyzed the redshift-dependent fraction of galactic bars over 0.2
Barred Galaxies at z > 0.7: NICMOS HDFN Observations (2003)
Sheth, Kartik, Regan, Michael W., Scoville, Nick, Strubbe, Linda
Previous optical studies found an unexpected deficit of bars at z > 0.7. To investigate the effects of bandshifting, we have studied the fraction of barred spirals in the NICMOS Deep Field North. At...
