    The Araucaria Project: A Wide-Field Photometric Survey for Cepheid Variables in NGC 3109
    We have obtained mosaic images of NGC 3109 in the V and I bands on 74 nights, spanning approximately 1 yr. From these data, we have conducted an extensive...

    The Assembly of Galaxy Clusters
    We study the formation of 53 galaxy cluster-size dark matter halos (M = 1014.0-14.76 M sun) formed within a pair of cosmological Λ cold dark matter N-body...

    The Assembly of Supermassive Black Holes at z < 1 in Early-type Galaxies from Scaling Relations
    The assembly of supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass (M •) and stellar mass (M *) in galaxies can be studied via the redshift evolution of the M •–M * relation...

    The Average Size and Temperature Profile of Quasar Accretion Disks
    We use multi-wavelength microlensing measurements of a sample of 10 image pairs from 8 lensed quasars to study the structure of their accretion disks. By using...
