The Infrared Spectrum of Comet Hele–Bopp as Seen by the Infrared Space Observatory
Spectra of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) were obtained with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) at medium resolution with the grating spectrometer in the photometer (PHT-S) and/or at high resolution with the sh...

The Isocam Responsivity in Orbit. Standard star photometry
An overview is given of the absolute flux calibration of the ISOCAMdetectors. The flux calibration is based on observations of standard stars selected from the Ground Based Preparatory Programme, for which Kur...

Ultimate sensitivity with ISOCAM
We discuss the instrumental factors which constrain the sensitivity limits of the mid-infrared camera (ISOCAM) of ESA's Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). The observing strategy judged to be best suited to fain...

Submillimetre galaxies reside in dark matter haloes with masses greater than 3 × 1011 solar masses
The optically faint 'submillimetre' star-forming galaxies that produce the extragalactic background light at far-infrared wavelengths are challenging to study individually, but their average properties can be ...

The suppression of star formation by powerful active galactic nuclei
Observations at submillimetre and X-ray wavelengths show that rapid star formation was common in the host galaxies of active galactic nuclei when the Universe was 2–6 Gyr old, but that the most vigorous star f...

A dust-obscured massive maximum-starburst galaxy at a redshift of 6.34
A massive starburst galaxy with 100 billion solar masses of gas is identified at a redshift of 6.34; a ‘maximum starburst’ converts the gas into stars at a rate more than 2,000 times that of the Milky Way.

The rapid assembly of an elliptical galaxy of 400 billion solar masses at a redshift of 2.3
An observation of a rare merger of two massive submillimetre bright galaxies that is forming stars at an unexpectedly high rate of 2,000 solar masses a year shows that such mergers can indeed form the most mas...

Open AccessErythropoiesis in Cushing syndrome: sex-related and subtype-specific differences. Results from a monocentric study
Cushing syndrome (CS) is associated with different hematological abnormalities. Nevertheless, conflicting data about erythropoiesis in CS have been reported. Furthermore, it is unclear whether CS sex and subty...

Open AccessGender-related differences in patients with carcinoid syndrome: new insights from an Italian multicenter cohort study
The incidence of neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) and related carcinoid syndrome (CaS) has increased markedly in recent decades, and women appear to be more at risk than men. As per other tumors, gender may be re...
