(abridged) We present a dynamical analysis of the extended stellar stream encircling NGC 1097. Within a statistical framework, we model its surface brightness using mock streams as in Amorisco (2015) and deep imaging data from the CHART32 telescope (Stellar Tidal Stream Survey). We reconstruct the post-infall evolution of the progenitor, which has experienced 3 pericentric passages and lost more than 2 orders of magnitude in mass. At infall, $5.4pm0.6$ Gyr ago, the progenitor was a disky dwarf with mass of $log_{10}[m(<3.4pm1 {rm kpc})/ M_odot]=10.35pm0.25$. We illustrate how the 90$^circ$ turn in the stream, identifying the `dog leg, is the signature of the progenitors prograde rotation. Today, the remnant is a nucleated dwarf, with a LOS velocity of $v_{rm p, los}^{rm obs}=-30pm 30$ kms$^{-1}$, and a luminosity of $3.3times 10^7 L_{V,odot}$ (Galianni et al. 2010). Our independent analysis predicts $v_{rm p, los}=-51^{-17}_{+14}$ kms$^{-1}$, and measures $log_{10}(m/ M_odot)=7.4^{+0.6}_{-0.8}$, so that the compact nucleus is soon becoming a low-luminosity UCD. We find that NGC 1097 has a mass of $M_{200}=1.8^{+0.5}_{-0.4} times 10^{12}; M_{odot}$, and its concentration $c_{200}=6.7^{+2.4}_{-1.3}$ is in agreement with LCDM. The stream is described almost down to the noise in a spherical host potential, we find this would not be possible if the halo was substantially triaxial at large radii. Its morphology shows that the slope of the total density profile bends from an inner $gamma(r_{rm peri})=1.5pm0.15$. The progenitors orbit reaches $r_{rm apo}=150pm 15$ kpc, more than a half of the virial radius of the host, so that, for the first time on an individual extragalactic halo, we measure the outer density slope, $gamma(0.6r_{200,c})=3.9pm0.5$. This demonstrates the promise of the newborn field of detailed, statistical modelling of extragalactic tidal streams.

Many X-ray bright active galactic nuclei (AGN) are predicted to follow an extended stage of obscured black hole growth. In support of this picture we examine the X-ray undetected AGNs in the COSMOS field and compare their host galaxies with X-ray bri
ght AGNs. We examine galaxies with M_ast>10^{9.5}M_odot for the presence of AGNs at redshifts $z=0.5-3$. We select AGNs in the infrared using textit{Spitzer} and textit{Herschel} detections and use color selection techniques to select AGNs within strongly star forming hosts. We stack textit{Chandra} X-ray data of galaxies with an IR detection but lacking an X-ray detection to obtain soft and hard fluxes, allowing us to measure the energetics of these AGNs. We find a clear correlation between X-ray luminosity and IR AGN luminosity in the stacked galaxies. We also find that X-ray undetected AGNs all lie on the main sequence -- the tight correlation between SFR and $M_ast$ that holds for the majority of galaxies, regardless of mass or redshift. This work demonstrates that there is a higher population of obscured AGNs than previously thought.
We present a new method of quantifying a galaxys accretion history from its integrated spectrum alone. Using full spectral fitting and calibrated regularization techniques we show how we can accurately derive a galaxys mass distribution in age-metall
icity space and further separate this into stellar populations from different chemical enrichment histories. By exploiting the fact that accreted lower mass galaxies will exhibit an offset to lower metallicities at fixed age compared to the in-situ stellar population, we quantify the fraction of light that comes from past merger events, that are long since mixed in phase-space and otherwise indistinguishable. Empirical age-metallicity relations (AMRs) parameterized for different galaxy masses are used to identify the accreted stellar populations and link them back to the progenitor galaxys stellar mass. This allows us to not only measure the host galaxys total ex-situ mass fraction ($f_{acc}$), but also quantify the relative amount of accreted material deposited by satellite galaxies of different masses, i.e. the accreted satellite mass function in analogy to the subhalo mass function. Using mock spectra of simulated, present-day galaxies from the EAGLE suite we demonstrate that our method can recover the total accreted fraction to within $approx 12 %$, the stellar mass of the most massive accreted subhalo to within $approx 26 %$ and the slope of the accreted satellite mass function to within $approx 16 %$ of the true values from the EAGLE merger trees. Future application of this method to observations could potentially provide us accretion histories of hundreds of individual galaxies, for which deep integrated light spectroscopy is available.
We report on the presence of large amounts of million-degree gas in the Milky Ways interstellar and circum-galactic medium. This gas (1) permeates both the Galactic plane and the halo, (2) extends to distances larger than 60-200 kpc from the center,
and (3) its mass is sufficient to close the Galaxys baryon census. Moreover, we show that a vast, $sim 6$ kpc radius, spherically-symmetric central region of the Milky Way above and below the 0.16 kpc thick plane, has either been emptied of hot gas or the density of this gas within the cavity has a peculiar profile, increasing from the center up to a radius of $sim 6$ kpc, and then decreasing with a typical halo density profile. This, and several other converging pieces of evidence, suggest that the current surface of the cavity, at 6 kpc from the Galaxys center, traces the distant echo of a period of strong nuclear activity of our super-massive black-hole, occurred about 6 Myrs ago.
It has been suggested that a resonance between a rotating bar and stars in the solar neighbourhood can produce the so called Hercules stream. Recently, a second bar may have been identified in the Galactic centre, the so called long bar, which is lon
ger and much flatter than the traditional Galactic bar, and has a similar mass. We looked at the dynamical effects of both bars, separately and together, on orbits of stars integrated backwards from local position and velocities, and a model of the Galactic potential which includes the bars directly. Both bars can produce Hercules like features, and allow us to measure the rotation rate of the bar(s). We measure a pattern speed, for both bars, of 1.87 +/- 0.02 times the local circular frequency. This is on par with previous measurements for the Galactic bar, although we do adopt a slightly different Solar motion. Finally, we identify a new kinematic feature in local velocity space, caused by the long bar, which is tempting to identify with the high velocity Arcturus stream.
We use the kinematics of $sim200,000$ giant stars that lie within $sim 1.5$ kpc of the plane to measure the vertical profile of mass density near the Sun. We find that the dark mass contained within the isodensity surface of the dark halo that passes
through the Sun ($(6pm0.9)times10^{10},mathrm{M_odot}$), and the surface density within $0.9$ kpc of the plane ($(69pm10),mathrm{M_odot,pc^{-2}}$) are almost independent of the (oblate) halos axis ratio $q$. If the halo is spherical, 46 per cent of the radial force on the Sun is provided by baryons, and only 4.3 per cent of the Galaxys mass is baryonic. If the halo is flattened, the baryons contribute even less strongly to the local radial force and to the Galaxys mass. The dark-matter density at the location of the Sun is $0.0126,q^{-0.89},mathrm{M_odot,pc^{-3}}=0.48,q^{-0.89},mathrm{GeV,cm^{-3}}$. When combined with other literature results we find hints for a mildly oblate dark halo with $q simeq 0.8$. Our value for the dark mass within the solar radius is larger than that predicted by cosmological dark-matter-only simulations but in good agreement with simulations once the effects of baryonic infall are taken into account. Our mass models consist of three double-exponential discs, an oblate bulge and a Navarro-Frenk-White dark-matter halo, and we model the dynamics of the RAVE stars in the corresponding gravitational fields by finding distribution functions $f(mathbf{J})$ that depend on three action integrals. Statistical errors are completely swamped by systematic uncertainties, the most important of which are the distance to the stars in the photometric and spectroscopic samples and the solar distance to the Galactic centre. Systematics other than the flattening of the dark halo yield overall uncertainties $sim 15$ per cent.
