Article: Spitzer UltRa Faint SUrvey Program (SURFS UP). II. IRAC-Detected Lyman-Break Galaxies at 6 < z < 10 Behind Strong-Lensing Clusters[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We study the stellar population properties of the IRAC-detected $6 \lesssim z \lesssim 10$ galaxy candidates from the Spitzer UltRa Faint SUrvey Program (SURFS UP). Using the Lyman Break selection technique, we find a total of 16 new galaxy candidates at $6 \lesssim z \lesssim 10$ with $S/N \geq 3$ in at least one of the IRAC $3.6\mu$m and $4.5\mu$m bands. According to the best mass models available for the surveyed galaxy clusters, these IRAC-detected galaxy candidates are magnified by factors of $\sim 1.2$--$5.5$. We find that the IRAC-detected $6 \lesssim z \lesssim 10$ sample is likely not a homogeneous galaxy population: some are relatively massive (stellar mass as high as $4 \times 10^9\,M_{\odot}$) and evolved (age $\lesssim 500$ Myr) galaxies, while others are less massive ($M_{\text{stellar}}\sim 10^8\,M_{\odot}$) and very young ($\sim 10$ Myr) galaxies with strong nebular emission lines that boost their rest-frame optical fluxes. We identify two Ly$\alpha$ emitters in our sample from the Keck DEIMOS spectra, one at $z_{\text{Ly}\alpha}=6.76$ (in RXJ1347) and one at $z_{\text{Ly}\alpha}=6.32$ (in MACS0454). We show that IRAC $[3.6]-[4.5]$ color, when combined with photometric redshift, can be used to identify galaxies likely with strong nebular emission lines within certain redshift windows.

ABSTRACT: We present a detailed gravitational lens model of the galaxy cluster RCS2 J232727.6-020437. Due to cosmological dimming of cluster members and ICL, its high redshift ($z=0.6986$) makes it ideal for studying background galaxies. Using new ACS and WFC3/IR HST data, we identify 16 multiple images. From MOSFIRE follow up, we identify a strong emission line in the spectrum of one multiple image, likely confirming the redshift of that system to $z=2.083$. With a highly magnified ($\mu\gtrsim2$) source plane area of $\sim0.7$ arcmin$^2$ at $z=7$, RCS2 J232727.6-020437 has a lensing efficiency comparable to the Hubble Frontier Fields clusters. We discover four highly magnified $z\sim7$ candidate Lyman-break galaxies behind the cluster, one of which may be multiply-imaged. Correcting for magnification, we find that all four galaxies are fainter than $0.5 L_{\star}$. One candidate is detected at ${>10\sigma}$ in both Spitzer/IRAC [3.6] and [4.5] channels. A spectroscopic follow-up with MOSFIRE does not result in the detection of the Lyman-alpha emission line from any of the four candidates. From the MOSFIRE spectra we place median upper limits on the Lyman-alpha flux of $5-14 \times 10^{-19}\, \mathrm{erg \,\, s^{-1} cm^{-2}}$ ($5\sigma$).
Article: On the intermediate-redshift central stellar mass-halo mass relation, and implications for the evolution of the most massive galaxies since z~1[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The stellar mass-halo mass relation is a key constraint in all semi-analytic, numerical, and semi-empirical models of galaxy formation and evolution. However, its exact shape and redshift dependence remain debated. Several recent works support a relation in the local Universe steeper than previously thought. Based on the comparisons with a variety of data on massive central galaxies, we show that this steepening holds up to z~1, for stellar masses Mstar>2e11 Msun. Specifically, we find significant evidence for a high-mass end slope of \beta>0.35-0.70, instead of the usual \beta~0.20-0.30 reported by a number of previous results. When including the independent constraints from the recent BOSS clustering measurements, the data, independent of any systematic errors in stellar masses, tend to favor a model with a very small scatter (< 0.15 dex) in stellar mass at fixed halo mass, in the redshift range z < 0.8 and for Mstar>3e11 Msun, suggesting a close connection between massive galaxies and host halos even at relatively recent epochs. We discuss the implications of our results with respect to the evolution of the most massive galaxies since z~1.11/2014; 797(2). DOI:10.1088/2041-8205/797/2/L27
Article: Star Formation Quenching in High-redshift Large-scale Structure: Post-starburst Galaxies in the Cl1604 Supercluster at $z \sim 0.9$[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Cl 1604 supercluster at z ~ 0.9 is one of the most extensively studied high-redshift large-scale structures, with more than 500 spectroscopically confirmed members. It consists of eight clusters and groups, with members numbering from a dozen to nearly a hundred, providing a broad range of environments for investigating the large-scale environmental effects on galaxy evolution. Here we examine the properties of 48 post-starburst galaxies in Cl 1604, comparing them to other galaxy populations in the same supercluster. Incorporating photometry from ground-based optical and near-infrared imaging, along with Spitzer mid-infrared observations, we derive stellar masses for all Cl 1604 members. The colors and stellar masses of the K+A galaxies support the idea that they are progenitors of red sequence galaxies. Their morphologies, residual star formation rates, and spatial distributions suggest that galaxy mergers may be the principal mechanism producing post-starburst galaxies. Interaction between galaxies and the dense intracluster medium (ICM) is also effective, but only in the cores of dynamically evolved clusters. The prevalence of post-starburst galaxies in clusters correlates with the dynamical state of the host cluster, as both galaxy mergers and the dense ICM produce post-starburst galaxies. We also investigate the incompleteness and contamination of K+A samples selected by means of Hδ and [O II] equivalent widths. K+A samples may be up to ~50% incomplete due to the presence of LINERs/Seyferts, and up to ~30% of K+A galaxies could have substantial star formation activity.The Astrophysical Journal 08/2014; 792(1):16.

Article: Measuring the Stellar Masses of z~7 Galaxies with Spitzer Ultrafaint Survey Program (SURFS UP)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present Spitzer/IRAC observations of nine $z'$-band dropouts highly magnified (2<mu<12) by the Bullet Cluster. We combine archival imaging with our Exploratory program (SURFS UP), which results in a total integration time of ~30 hr per IRAC band. We detect (>3sigma) in both IRAC bands the brightest of these high-redshift galaxies, with [3.6]=23.80+-0.28 mag, [4.5]=23.78+-0.25 mag, and (H-[3.6])=1.17+-0.32 mag. The remaining eight galaxies are undetected to [3.6]~26.4 mag and [4.5]~26.0 mag with stellar masses of ~5x10^7 M_sol. The detected galaxy has an estimated magnification of mu=12+-4, which implies this galaxy has an ultraviolet luminosity of L_1500~0.3 L*_{z=7} --- the lowest luminosity individual source detected in IRAC at z>7. By modeling the broadband photometry, we estimate the galaxy has an intrinsic star-formation rate of SFR~1.3 M_sol/yr and stellar mass of M~2x10^9 M_sol, which gives a specific star-formation rate of sSFR~0.7 Gyr^-1. If this galaxy had sustained this star-formation rate since z~20, it could have formed the observed stellar mass (to within a factor of ~2), we also discuss alternate star-formation histories and argue the exponentially-increasing model is unlikely. Finally, based on the intrinsic star-formation rate, we estimate this galaxy has a likely [C II] flux of <f_[C II]> = 10^{-17} erg/s/cm2.The Astrophysical Journal Letters 04/2014; 786(1).

Article: VIMOS Ultra-Deep Survey (VUDS): Witnessing the assembly of a massive cluster at z similar to 3.3[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using new spectroscopic observations obtained as part of the VIMOS Ultra-Deep Survey (VUDS), we perform a systematic search for overdense environments in the early universe ($z>2$) and report here on the discovery of Cl J0227-0421, a massive proto-cluster at $z=3.29$. This proto-cluster is characterized by both the large overdensity of spectroscopically confirmed members, $\delta_{gal}=10.5\pm2.8$, and a significant overdensity in photometric redshift members. The halo mass of this proto-cluster is estimated, by a variety of methods, to be roughly $3\times10^{14}$ $\mathcal{M}_{\odot}$ at $z\sim3.3$, which, evolved to $z=0$ results in a halo mass rivaling or exceeding that of the Coma cluster. The properties of 19 spectroscopically confirmed member galaxies are compared with a large sample of VUDS/VVDS galaxies in lower density field environments at similar redshifts. We find tentative evidence for an excess of redder, brighter, and more massive galaxies within the confines of the proto-cluster relative to the field population, which suggests that we may be observing the beginning of environmentally-induced quenching. The properties of these galaxies are investigated, including a discussion of the brightest proto-cluster galaxy which appears to be undergoing vigorous coeval nuclear and starburst activity. The remaining member galaxies appear to have characteristics which are largely similar to the field population. Though we find weaker evidence of the suppression of the median star formation rates amongst and differences in stacked spectra of member galaxies with respect to the field, we defer any conclusions of these trends to future work with the ensemble of proto-structures that are found in the full VUDS sample.Astronomy and Astrophysics 03/2014; 572.

ABSTRACT: SURFS UP is a joint Spitzer and HST Exploration Science program using 10 galaxy clusters as cosmic telescopes to study z>~7 galaxies at intrinsically lower luminosities, enabled by gravitational lensing, than blank field surveys of the same exposure time. Our main goal is to measure stellar masses and ages of these galaxies, which are the most likely sources of the ionizing photons that drive reionization. Accurate knowledge of the star formation density and star formation history at this epoch is necessary to determine whether these galaxies indeed reionized the universe. Determination of the stellar masses and ages requires measuring rest frame optical light, which only Spitzer can probe for sources at z>~7, for a large enough sample of typical galaxies. Our program consists of 550 hours of Spitzer/IRAC imaging covering 10 galaxy clusters with very well-known mass distributions, making them extremely precise cosmic telescopes. We combine our data with archival observations to obtain mosaics with ~30 hours exposure time in each 3.6$\mu$m and 4.5$\mu$m in the central 4 arcmin x 4 arcmin field and ~15 hours in the flanking fields. This results in 3-sigma sensitivity limits of ~26.6 and ~26.2 AB magnitudes for SURFS UP in the IRAC 3.6 and 4.5$\mu$m bands, respectively. To illustrate the survey strategy and characteristics we introduce the sample, present the details of the data reduction and demonstrate that these data are sufficient for in-depth studies of z>~7 sources (using a z=9.5 galaxy behind MACSJ1149.5+2223 as an example). For the first cluster of the survey (the Bullet Cluster) we have released all high-level data mosaics and IRAC empirical PSF models. In the future we plan to release these data products for the entire survey.The Astrophysical Journal 02/2014; 785(2). DOI:10.1088/0004-637X/785/2/108 · 6.28 Impact Factor
Article: Hidden Starbursts and Active Galactic Nuclei at 0<z<4 from the Herschel-VVDS-CFHTLS-D1 Field: Inferences on Coevolution and Feedback[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigate of the properties of approximately 2000 Herschel/SPIRE-selected galaxies from 0<z<4 using a combination of extensive spectroscopy from the VVDS and ORELSE surveys, deep imaging from CFHT, VLA, Spitzer, XMM-Newton, and Herschel, and well-calibrated SED fitting. Herschel galaxies are observed to span a range of stellar masses, colors, and absolute magnitudes equivalent to galaxies undetected in SPIRE. Though many Herschel galaxies appear to be in transition, such galaxies are largely consistent with normal star-forming galaxies when rest-frame colors are utilized. The nature of the star-forming "main sequence" is studied and we warn against adopting this framework unless the main sequence is determined precisely. Herschel galaxies at different total infrared luminosities (LTIR) are compared. Bluer colors, larger nebular extinctions, and larger contributions from younger stellar populations are observed for galaxies with larger LTIR, suggesting that low-LTIR galaxies are undergoing rejuvenated starbursts while galaxies with higher LTIR are forming a larger percentage of their stellar mass. A variety of methods are used to select powerful active galactic nuclei (AGN). Galaxies hosting all types of AGN are observed to be undergoing starbursts more commonly and vigorously than a matched sample of galaxies without powerful AGN and, additionally, the fraction of galaxies with an AGN increases with increasing SFR at all redshifts. At all redshifts (0<z<4) the most prodigious star-forming galaxies are found to contain the highest fraction of powerful AGN. For redshift bins that allow a comparison (z>0.5), the highest LTIR galaxies in a given redshift bin are unobserved by SPIRE at subsequently lower redshifts, a trend linked to downsizing. In conjunction with other results, this evidence is used to argue for prevalent AGN-driven quenching in starburst galaxies across cosmic time.Astronomy and Astrophysics 11/2013; 572.

ABSTRACT: The Cl1604 supercluster at $z \sim 0.9$ consists of 8 clusters and groups, with spectroscopically confirmed members numbering from a dozen to nearly a hundred, providing a broad range of environments for investigating the large scale environmental effects on galaxy evolution. Incorporating photometry from ground-based optical and near-infrared imaging, along with $Spitzer$ mid-infrared observations, we derive stellar masses for the Cl1604 members. We select 48 post-starburst galaxies in the Cl1604 supercluster, which is the largest sample from a single structure at this redshift to date. Their colors and stellar masses support the idea that they are progenitors of red sequence galaxies. Their morphologies, residual star-formation rates, and spatial distributions suggest galaxy mergers may be the principal mechanism producing post-starburst galaxies. Interaction between galaxies and the dense intra-cluster medium is also effective, but only in the cores of dynamically evolved clusters. The prevalence of post-starburst galaxies in clusters correlates with the dynamical state of the host cluster, as both galaxy mergers and the dense intra-cluster medium produce post-starburst galaxies. We also investigate the incompleteness and contamination of K+A samples selected by means of H$\delta$ and [OII] equivalent widths. K+A samples may be up to $\sim50\%$ incomplete due to the presence of LINER/Seyferts and up to $\sim30\%$ of K+A galaxies could have substantial star formation activity.
Article: The Violent Youth of Bright and Massive Cluster Galaxies and their Maturation over 7 Billion Years[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study we investigate the formation and evolution mechanisms of the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) over cosmic time. At high redshift (z~0.9) we selected the BCGs and most massive cluster galaxies (MMCGs) from the Cl1604 supercluster, a complex structure of clusters and groups spanning a wide range in mass. These galaxies were compared to low-redshift (z~0.1) counterparts drawn from the MCXC catalog and supplemented by SDSS imaging and spectroscopy. We observed striking differences in the morphological, color, spectral, and stellar mass properties of the BCGs and MMCGs from low to high redshift. Specifically, those housed in the high-z clusters/groups were, in many cases, star-forming, late-type galaxies, with broadband colors that were bluer than the red sequence, properties that were largely absent at low-z. The stellar mass was found to increase by a factor of $2.51\pm 0.71$, further indicating significant evolution in these galaxies. The content of stellar mass from spectroscopically confirmed members surrounding the BCGs/MMCGs was compared between the two samples. We conclude that a combination of major merging (mainly wet or mixed) and in situ star formation are the main mechanisms that build stellar mass in BCGs/MMCGs from z~0.9 to z~0.1. The stellar mass growth of the BCGs also appears to grow in lockstep with both the stellar baryonic and total mass of the cluster. Through comparisons of structural parameters we found that BCGs/MMCGs grow in size, on average, by a factor of ~3 and the average Sersic index increases by ~0.45 from z~0.9 to z~0.1. This analysis also supports a picture involving major merging events, though some adiabatic expansion is needed. These observational results are compared to both semi-analytic models and hydrodynamical simulations to further explore the implications of processes which shape and evolve BCGs/MMCGs over the past ~7 Gyr.

ABSTRACT: We use Chandra observations of nine optically and X-ray selected clusters in five different structures at z ~ 0.7-1.1 from the Observations of Redshift Evolution in Large-Scale Environments (ORELSE) survey to study diffuse X-ray emission from galaxy clusters. X-ray gas temperatures and bolometric rest-frame luminosities are measured for each cluster in the sample. We present new redshift measurements, derived from dataobtained using the Deep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph on the Keck 10-m telescope, for two clusters in the RX J0910 supercluster at z ~ 1.1, from which velocity dispersions are measured. Dispersions for all clusters are combined with X-ray luminosities and gas temperatures to evaluate how the cluster properties compare to low-redshift scaling relations. We also measure the degree of substructure in each cluster by examining the velocity histograms, performing Dressler-Shectman tests, and computing the offsets between the X-ray emission center and optically-derived centroids. We find that only two clusters show clear indications of being unrelaxed, based on their scaling relations and other dynamical state diagnostics. Using our sample, we evaluate the redshift evolution of the L_x-T relation and investigate the implications of our results for precision cosmology surveys.The Astrophysical Journal 12/2012; 763(2).

Article: Spitzer UltRaFaint SUrvey (SURF'S Up): Cluster Lensing and Spitzer Extreme Imaging Reaching Out to z >~ 7[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In spite of recent progress, the role of distant galaxies in cosmic reionization has been difficult to pin down. A powerful way to make progress is to move beyond counting high redshift sources and study the stellar properties of the population instead. Accurate knowledge of the average star formation density and its recent history in the universe at this epoch is necessary to determine whether these galaxies emit enough hard photons to reionize the Universe. This requires measuring rest frame optical light, which only Spitzer can probe at these redshifts, for a large enough sample of typical galaxies. At least 50 typical sources with Spitzer imaging are needed to determine the star formation rate (SFR) density directly from stellar mass measurement (rather than estimated from the luminosity function) to 25% accuracy. Unfortunately, the depth needed to reach typical z>~7 galaxies is impractical in a blank field survey. To address this cosmic puzzle, we will obtain ultra-deep Spitzer imaging of the fields behind 10 of the most powerful and well calibrated cosmic telescopes. Cluster-scale gravitational lenses acting as cosmic telescopes enable the study of intrinsically lower luminosity galaxies than would otherwise be possible. This will be a crucial Legacy complement to the existing IRAC deep surveys and shallower cluster studies, and will open up new parameter space parameter space by probing intrinsically fainter objects than existing cluster surveys and much improved sample variance over deep field surveys. It will allow us to study the properties (e.g. star formation rates and stellar masses) of a large number of galaxies (50 at z~7 and 10 at z~8) for the first time, thus meeting our goal of reconstructing the cosmic SFR with sufficient accuracy. Presence (or absence) of established stellar population will be measured by Spitzer for the largest sample to date. Together these findings will allow us to identify the dominant sources of the bulk of ionizing photons necessary to drive reionization.
Article: The Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (SERVS): survey definition and goals[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present the Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (SERVS), an 18 square degrees medium-deep survey at 3.6 and 4.5 microns with the post-cryogenic Spitzer Space Telescope to ~2 microJy (AB=23.1) depth of five highly observed astronomical fields (ELAIS-N1, ELAIS-S1, Lockman Hole, Chandra Deep Field South and XMM-LSS). SERVS is designed to enable the study of galaxy evolution as a function of environment from z~5 to the present day, and is the first extragalactic survey both large enough and deep enough to put rare objects such as luminous quasars and galaxy clusters at z>1 into their cosmological context. SERVS is designed to overlap with several key surveys at optical, near- through far-infrared, submillimeter and radio wavelengths to provide an unprecedented view of the formation and evolution of massive galaxies. In this paper, we discuss the SERVS survey design, the data processing flow from image reduction and mosaicing to catalogs, as well as coverage of ancillary data from other surveys in the SERVS fields. We also highlight a variety of early science results from the survey.

ABSTRACT: We present a submillimetre survey of seven high-z galaxy clusters (0.64<z<1.0) using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) at 850 and 450 um. The targets, of similar richness and redshift, are selected from the Red-sequence Cluster Survey (RCS). We use this sample to investigate the apparent excess of submillimetre source counts in the direction of cluster fields compared to blank fields. The sample consists of three galaxy clusters that exhibit multiple optical arcs due to strong gravitational lensing, and a control group of four clusters with no apparent strong lensing. A tentative excess of 2.7-sigma is seen in the number density of submillimetre luminous galaxies (SMGs) within the lensing cluster fields compared to that in the control group. Ancillary observations at radio, mid-infrared, optical, and X-ray wavelengths allow for the identification of counterparts to many of the SMGs. Utilizing photometric redshifts, we conclude that at least three of the galaxies within the lensing fields have redshifts consistent with the clusters and implied infrared luminosities of ~10^12 Lsol. The existence of SMG cluster members may therefore be boosting source counts in the lensing cluster fields, which might be an effect of the dynamical state of those clusters. However, we find that the removal of potential cluster members from the counts analysis does not entirely eliminate the difference between the cluster samples. We also investigate possible occurrences of lensing between background SMGs and lower-z optical galaxies, though further observations are required to make any conclusive claims. Although the excess counts between the two cluster samples have not been unambiguously accounted for, these results warrant caution for interpreting submillimetre source counts in cluster fields and point source contamination for Sunyaev-Zel'dovich surveys.

Article: The Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey: III. Correlated Properties of Type Ia Supernovae and Their Hosts at 0.9 < z < 1.46[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using the sample of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Cluster Supernova Survey and augmented with HST-observed SNe Ia in the GOODS fields, we search for correlations between the properties of SNe and their host galaxies at high redshift. We use galaxy color and quantitative morphology to determine the red sequence in 25 clusters and develop a model to distinguish passively evolving early-type galaxies from star-forming galaxies in both clusters and the field. With this approach, we identify six SN Ia hosts that are early-type cluster members and eleven SN Ia hosts that are early-type field galaxies. We confirm for the first time at z>0.9 that SNe Ia hosted by early-type galaxies brighten and fade more quickly than SNe Ia hosted by late-type galaxies. We also show that the two samples of hosts produce SNe Ia with similar color distributions. The relatively simple spectral energy distributions (SEDs) expected for passive galaxies enable us to measure stellar masses of early-type SN hosts. In combination with stellar mass estimates of late-type GOODS SN hosts from Thomson & Chary (2011), we investigate the correlation of host mass with Hubble residual observed at lower redshifts. Although the sample is small and the uncertainties are large, a hint of this relation is found at z>0.9. By simultaneously fitting the average cluster galaxy formation history and dust content to the red-sequence scatters, we show that the reddening of early-type cluster SN hosts is likely E(B-V) <~ 0.06. The similarity of the field and cluster early-type host samples suggests that field early-type galaxies that lie on the red sequence may also be minimally affected by dust. Hence, the early-type hosted SNe Ia studied here occupy a more favorable environment to use as well-characterized high-redshift standard candles than other SNe Ia.The Astrophysical Journal 01/2012; 750(1).

Article: The Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey: VI. The Volumetric Type Ia Supernova Rate[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a measurement of the volumetric Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) rate out to z ~ 1.6 from the Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey. In observations spanning 189 orbits with the Advanced Camera for Surveys we discovered 29 SNe, of which approximately 20 are SNe Ia. Twelve of these SNe Ia are located in the foregrounds and backgrounds of the clusters targeted in the survey. Using these new data, we derive the volumetric SN Ia rate in four broad redshift bins, finding results consistent with previous measurements at z > 1 and strengthening the case for a SN Ia rate that is equal to or greater than ~0.6 x 10^-4/yr/Mpc^3 at z ~ 1 and flattening out at higher redshift. We provide SN candidates and efficiency calculations in a form that makes it easy to rebin and combine these results with other measurements for increased statistics. Finally, we compare the assumptions about host-galaxy dust extinction used in different high-redshift rate measurements, finding that different assumptions may induce significant systematic differences between measurements.The Astrophysical Journal 10/2011; 745(1).

Article: The Evolution and Environments of X-ray Emitting Active Galactic Nuclei in High-Redshift Large-Scale Structures[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We use deep Chandra imaging and an extensive optical spectroscopy campaign on the Keck 10-m telescopes to study the properties of X-ray point sources in five large-scale structures at redshifts of z ~ 0.7-0.9. We first study X-ray point sources using the statistical measure of cumulative source counts, finding that the measured overdensities are consistent with previous results, but we recommend caution in overestimating the precision of the technique. Optical spectroscopy of objects matched to X-ray point sources confirms a total of 27 AGN within the five structures, and we find that their host galaxies tend to be located away from dense cluster cores. More than 36% of host galaxies are located in the `green valley', which suggests they are a transitional population. Based on analysis of OII and Hd line strengths, the average spectral properties of the AGN host galaxies in all structures indicate either on-going star formation or a starburst within ~ 1 Gyr, and the host galaxies are younger than the average galaxy in the parent population. These results indicate a clear connection between starburst and nuclear activity. We use composite spectra of the spectroscopically confirmed members in each structure to separate them based on a measure of the overall evolutionary state of their constituent galaxies. We define structures as having more evolved populations if their average galaxy has lower EW(OII) and EW(Hd). The AGN in the more evolved structures have lower rest-frame 0.5-8 keV X-ray luminosities (all below 10^43.3 erg s^-1) and longer times since a starburst than those in the less evolved structures, suggesting that the peak of both star formation and AGN activity has occurred at earlier times. With the wide range of evolutionary states and timeframes in the structures, we use our results to analyze the evolution of X-ray AGN and evaluate potential triggering mechanisms.The Astrophysical Journal 08/2011; 746(2).

Article: The Assembly of the Red Sequence at z~1: The Color and Spectral Properties of Galaxies in the Cl1604 Supercluster[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigate the properties of the 525 spectroscopically confirmed members of the Cl1604 supercluster at z~0.9 as part of the Observations of Redshift Evolution in Large Scale Environments (ORELSE) survey. Using extensive Keck LRIS/DEIMOS spectroscopy in conjunction with ten-band ground-based, Spitzer, and HST imaging, we investigate the buildup of the red sequence in groups and clusters at high redshift. Nearly all of the brightest and most massive red-sequence galaxies are found within the bounds of the clusters and groups. Despite the prevalence of these red-sequence galaxies, we find that the average cluster galaxy has a spectrum indicative of a star-forming galaxy, with a star formation rate between those of z~1 field galaxies and moderate redshift cluster galaxies. The average group galaxy is even more active, exhibiting properties indicative of a starburst. The presence of massive, red galaxies and the high fraction of starbursting galaxies suggest that significant processing is occurring in the group environment at z~1 and earlier. There is a deficit of low-luminosity red-sequence galaxies in all Cl1604 clusters and groups, suggesting that such galaxies transition to the red sequence at later times. Extremely massive (10^12) red sequence galaxies are also absent from the Cl1604 clusters and groups. We suggest that such galaxies form at later times through merging processes. There are also large populations of transition galaxies at intermediate stellar masses present in the groups and clusters, suggesting that such masses are important in the buildup of the red-sequence mass function at z~1. Through a comparison of the transitional populations present in the Cl1604 clusters and groups, we find evidence that massive blue cloud galaxies are quenched earliest in the most dynamically relaxed systems and at progressively later times in dynamically unrelaxed systems.The Astrophysical Journal 08/2011; 745(2).

ABSTRACT: We have employed emission-line diagnostics derived from DEIMOS and NIRSPEC spectroscopy to determine the origin of the [O II] emission line observed in six active galactic nucleus (AGN) hosts at z ~ 0.9. These galaxies are a subsample of AGN hosts detected in the Cl1604 supercluster that exhibit strong Balmer absorption lines in their spectra and appear to be in a post-starburst or post-quenched phase, if not for their [O II] emission. Examining the flux ratio of the [N II] to Hα lines, we find that in five of the six hosts the dominant source of ionizing flux is AGN continuum emission. Furthermore, we find that four of the six galaxies have over twice the [O II] line luminosity that could be generated by star formation alone given their Hα line luminosities. This strongly suggests that AGN-excited narrow-line emission is contaminating the [O II] line flux. A comparison of star formation rates calculated from extinction-corrected [O II] and Hα line luminosities indicates that the former yields a five-fold overestimate of the current activity in these galaxies. Our findings reveal the [O II] line to be a poor indicator of star formation activity in a majority of these moderate-luminosity Seyferts. This result bolsters our previous findings that an increased fraction of AGN at high redshifts is hosted by galaxies in a post-starburst phase. The relatively high fraction of AGN hosts in the Cl1604 supercluster that show signs of recently truncated star formation activity may suggest that AGN feedback plays an increasingly important role in suppressing ongoing activity in large-scale structures at high redshift.The Astrophysical Journal Letters 08/2011; 737(2):L38.

President Barack Obama: Issue an executive order requiring labeling of all GMO foods
Jul 2, 2012 — It is my sincere hope that this petition will eventually go "viral," and prompt President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney to begin including this issue in their campaign discussions. It is my hope that such discussions would lead people in all sectors of our society to start actively promoting this cause with great vigor. I am gratified that so many people have signed the petition, and obviously many people have shared it. People have a right to know what they are eating. The President has the power to mandate this labeling, and really should use it. At the very least, we should be hearing about this issue as part of ALL political campaigns. It is time for Americans and the world to recognize that WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT, AND THEY ARE OBLIGATED TO RESPOND TO OUR NEEDS AND DESIRES. We want to know what is in our food. They need to ensure that we are told. Again, thanks!!!

Great item for helping Grandma into tub
Very good for helping to transfer a person who needs a lot of assistanceRead More
This product is of great value. I have no problems with ease of use and storage. The locking mechanism is loud but it works. My biggest concern with this product and the reason I am not able to continue using it is that its leg placement inside my tub is not working. The person on the stool sits right at the edge of the tub on the outside and then gallons of water from the shower fall to the floor posing a huge slip/fall risk!Read More

Questions & Answers
Hello feisfocused, no, the sliding seat does not lock. Thanks for shopping with us!
can the sliding seat be easy switched left facing or right facing? I want this for travel.
Hello renee63, yes it has reversible legs and handles. Thank you for shopping with us and have a great week.
Why did you choose this product?
Needed for wife
Function, aging father just had hip replacement and cannot lift leg over tub. Much cheaper option than fancy "safety tubs" which run thousands of dollars. This model seems to have gotten good reviews on Overstock as well as other merchant sites. I like that it can be folded down for storage and that it has a soap dish attachment and adjustable leg height. Will have to figure out best way to manage shower curtain around and over the the bench when using it in the shower.
For my invalid mother.
What is the total expanded width between the rubber fee?. Is the seat back removable?
Thank you for your question. The dimensions are 40" inside legs (inside rubber feet) 44" outside legs (widest point). The back is not removable. Have a great day!

Babcock to Abdelkader: Stay out of the box
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock had a talk with Justin Abdelkader about the young forwards lack of discipline that is leading to penalties.
He expects the problem to be corrected immediately.
Abdelkader has been penalized in the third period in each of the past three games of the Western Conference semifinals against San Jose. His club has killed all three penalties.
The Red Wings have been short-handed five times in the series because of penalties by Abdelkader (the Sharks scored once). That includes a double-minor for high-sticking during overtime of Game 1, a penalty that expired 20 seconds before Benn Ferrieros goal.
"I just told him, (three) games in a row now, Youve got to decide. Are you going to be one of those guys that their whole career takes a bad penalty at the wrong time? " Babcock said. "Or are you going to look after it?
"Hes a great kid and a great teammate, and hes going to get it looked after."
Abdelkader said he just has to stay out of the box. He was called for cross-checking Joe Pavelski in Game 4, elbowing Dan Boyle in Game 5 and holding Boyle in Game 6. Strong penalty killing bailed him out.
The Sharks went 4-for-15 on the power play the first three games. They are 0-for-10 in the past three games, as the Red Wings are doing a better job of denying clean entries.
"Maybe its not going my way, but at the same time, Ive just got to be smart out there," Abdelkader said. "We (him and Boyle) were both fighting for position going for the puck, and the ref said I held him. I think they were looking to make a call at that point of the game, and Ive got to know better. Cant give them an opportunity to make a call like that."
Abdelkader called it a long two minutes sitting in the box, "not a fun feeling."
"You dont want your team short-handed when youre up like that in the third period," he said. "You think about it and hopefully learn from it and not do it again."
Franzen hoping to return for Game 7
Babcock said the status of forward Johan Franzen for Game 7 will be determined on Thursday. He sat out Game 6 after laboring the first five games of the series with a sore left ankle.
"Thats the good thing about this flight. It will be about 5½ hours. Im sure if hes lobbying, well listen to that," Babcock said before boarding the team flight on Wednesday. "Well see if hes available, but well try to make the right decisions. The only way you know you made the right decision is when you win."
If Franzen cant play, Mike Modano likely will remain in the lineup. He made his series debut in Game 6.
"I thought it was good for him," Babcock said. "I thought he played well, he skated good and he was competitive."
Yzerman keeping tabs on Red Wings
Tampa Bay general manager and former Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman has been closely watching the Detroit-San Jose series while waiting for his teams Eastern Conference final series vs. Boston to begin.
"Its very exciting. Ive been watching and enjoying it," Yzerman said Wednesday during a teleconference. "I appreciate how hard they work, how skilled they are. Being down 3-0 to a very good San Jose team, to battle back just to 3-3, theres so little margin for error in those three games."
He called it tremendous hockey.
"Its been great for our league," Yzerman said. "Knowing the coaching staff, knowing the entire organization and the players, Im very happy for them. Theyve really competed hard. Every time somebody wants to write them off as the end of an era, or theyre too old and thats it, they just come back stronger than ever."
Recalling a comeback
The Red Wings never have come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series, but came back from a 3-1 hole to beat the Minnesota North Stars in the first round in 1992.
It was Modanos third season in the NHL with the North Stars. He recalled the atmosphere in the room.
"Well, youre a little nervous because you know theyre coming and their confidence is building," Modano said. "We knew at 3-1, we needed to play a spectacular, perfect game from start to finish. Otherwise, we were in trouble.
"Then ... bad break after bad break, and were just looking for something to put a tourniquet on a hemorrhage because it was coming. You could just feel it. It was just like an avalanche. Once they got going and their main guys started playing, we knew we were in trouble."
Odds and ends
-- Sharks forward Ryane Clowe did not skate on Wednesday, after missing Game 6 with an upper-body injury. Coach Todd McLellan said his status will be determined on Thursday.
-- Pavel Datsyuk took no faceoffs in Game 5 because of his sore wrist. He took four draws in Game 6. Asked if hell take any in Game 7, he said, "We dont know yet. Well see (tonight)."
-- Todd Bertuzzi, on the teams flight to San Jose Wednesday morning: "Its the first time Ive seen guys so excited about getting on a plane for seven hours."

Apple revising App Store rankings system?
Apple may be working toward incorporating user ratings into its App Store Top Charts rankings, according to some new analysis by Fiksu, an app marketing startup. The report notes that based on some in-depth and ongoing analysis, it would appear that Apple has been at least testing changes to the iTunes ranking algorithms to factor in user ratings and reviews in addition to the traditional number and frequency of downloads—apps with four stars or more seem to be receiving a consistent ranking boost.
The report also notes that the position of apps in the App Store appear to be updating with less frequency—every three hours as opposed to every 15 minutes previously. Fiksu speculates that this change may be to add a 'buffer' period to prevent developers and marketers from trying to game the system through short download bursts. It is unclear at this point whether these changes are part of a new strategy on Apple's part or simply the result of the company experimenting with the App Store rankings. [via 9to5Mac]

University of West Georgia's Xiaojuan Christian, visual services specialist in University Communications and Marketing, has spent the past year chronicling Carrollton's homeless.
Unlike a traditional homeless shelter, HOPE Center is a communal home and transition program for homeless men located in Carrollton, Georgia. Since opening in January 2008, it has helped hundreds of men transition out of homelessness and back into independent living.
Watch Xiaojuan's compelling video, A Story of Hope, to learn more about the HOPE Center and UWG's strong ties to the community.
An annual Carrollton tradition continues this Independence Day with several free events. Begin your July 4 at 11 a.m. with the People's Parade. The parade begins at Dairy Queen on US Highway 27 South, follows Maple and Alabama Streets through Adamson Square then out Newnan St. and Bankhead Ave. to the Kmart at 620 Bankhead. You can view the parade anywhere along the route and there is ample free parking at any of the downtown parking decks and lots.
Wrap up your day with the Carroll Symphony Orchestra's Sounds of Liberty concert at 8 p.m. on the Carrollton Elementary School front lawn at 401 Ben Scott Blvd. Fireworks begin with the last song, shortly after 9 p.m.
In case of severe weather, the alternate parade date is July 11.

But like when you douse out a campfire and there's a chance of a jumping embers, when you control one type of bullying a new one can crop up.

Smart TVs are now the dominant TV, but what about Smart home products? They are not far behind in becoming just as pervasive in most homes. Smart home gizmos are usually technologies that are linked to our mobile devices and that add a lot of convenience to our lives. Most of us cannot live for an hour, let alone a day, without doing some activity on our Smartphone. But Smartphones have a lot more capability than what we use them for, and Smart Home products tap into that underutilized capacity. They also make great gifts, so here are my top picks that will delight just about anyone.

Fitness trackers are a great tool for anyone interested in getting the most out of their workout or just adopting some healthy new habits.

Fitness trackers make great gifts for the holidays too, so if you'd like to choose one for yourself or pick one up to put under the tree this year, here's a few types you can choose from.

Last year's Moto X was a surprise hit, winning praise for its attractive design, nearly pure Android UI and excellent value proposition. This year's follow-up Moto X is much more than a spec-bumped version 2. The new Moto X is significantly bigger, much more powerful and gains new features, while retaining much of the appeal of the original. I just wrapped up a week with the 2014 Moto X and I'll be sorry to see it go.

When putting together the quintessential "classic look," there is no accessory more important than the pearl. Whether it's a single string of pearls, a pair of pearl earrings, or even a multi-strand necklace that pins to your dress (as in the unforgettable scene Jean Cocteau's black and white La Belle et la Bête, which bears a striking resemblance to the faux-pearl Vintage Heirloom Pewter With Clear Crystal Stones Necklace available at Best Buy). This is one wardrobe staple with endless versatility.

I'll never forget that time in Grade 4 when my friend asked his grandparents for a specific game for his Super Nintendo, and his grandma bought him the Nintendo version of the game instead. He was then told that he had to keep it so not to hurt his grandma's feelings. The story sticks with me because I'll often get asked questions from parents or grandparents about whether they can buy, say, NHL (current year) for PlayStation when the gamer has an Xbox. Or even whether that year's NHL for the Xbox 360 would just play on the Xbox One since it's cheaper to buy that one. This is a pretty quick and easy guide to understanding backwards (and even cross-platform) compatibility between gaming consoles to hopefully help you decide which versions are the right ones, and which ones should be avoided when you're out buying for your gamer.

World Business Briefing | Europe: Britain: Cordiant Shareholders To Meet
By Heather Timmons (NYT)

The Cordiant Communications Group, the troubled British advertiser, said it would hold an emergency shareholder meeting on June 28, to allow investors to vote on the sale of its Australian and German assets. The loss of a key client earlier this year sent Cordiant into a tailspin, and the company is now shedding units and considering a sale. Cordiant has been actively evaluating a range of more detailed proposals, including possible offers for the company or a recapitalization plan, the company said. The WPP Group said earlier this month it was evaluating a bid for Cordiant. Active Value Managers, which holds 14 percent of Cordiant's stock, has asked for the company's management to step down and proposes injecting capital into the business. The company also said net debt rose 33 percent to £201.2 million ($335.5 million) in the four months ending April 30. Heather Timmons (NYT)
