Molecular Gas in Nuclei of the Seyfert Galaxies NGC3227 and NGC1068
New subarcsecond data on NGC 3227 and NGC 1068 obtained with the Plateau de Bure millimeter interferometry indicate large enclosed masses and the... -
X-Ray Spectra of Neutron Stars vs. Black Holes
This paper gives an overview of the observed X-ray spectra of lowmass X-ray binaries containing a weakly-magnetized neutron star (NS-LMXRB) and those... -
Determination of Mass Limits Around Pulsars at 10 and $90 \mu$ m with ISO
We present mid-infrared photometric results obtained with ISOCAM and ISOPHOT on 3 millisecond pulsars and 3 ordinary radio pulsars. No detections... -
Gamma-Ray Observations of Black Holes: The Prospects of INTEGRAL
In this paper we describe the upcoming European gamma-ray observatory INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory). This ESA satellite... -
Accreting Black Holes: Modelling Individual Objects and Whole Populations
We are carrying out a programme of non-linear, time-dependent calculations to study non-stationary accretion onto black holes. We plan to use this... -
Clusters of Galaxies at High Redshift
For a long time, the small number of clusters at z > 0.3 in the Abell survey catalogue and simulations of the standard CDM formation of large scale... -
The Cluster Population in a Complete Sample of Optically Identified RASS X-Ray Sources
Using the 2.1-m telescope of the Guillermo Haro Observatory (Cananea, Mexico) the optical counterparts of a count-rate and area limited complete... -
Massive Stars and Their Role in Spectra and Abundances of High Redshift Galaxies
There are great changes in our understanding of massive star evolution. Although it is a known fact that the populations of massive stars (O-stars,... -
Supernovae at High Redshift
Distant supernovae provide a convenient tool for cosmology. As bright beacons with small variation in their peak luminosity Type Ia Supernovae can be... -
Nuclear Activity and Galaxy Evolution
This talk discusses the connection between nuclear activity and galaxy evolution. First, the evidence for a fundamental connection is reviewed. Then,... -
Solar Nebulae and Replenished Dust Disks with Planets
Having studied the primordial, protoplanetary gas disks, and older, dusty “remnant” disks in infrared-emitting (Vega-type) circumstellar systems, we... -
Observations of Cygnus X-3 in Quiescence in the $2.4 - 12 \mu$ m Range with ISO
We present mid-infrared spectrophotometric and imaging photometric results obtained with ISO on the peculiar X-ray binary Cygnus X-3. The... -
SINFONI - Galaxy Dynamics at $0^{\prime\prime}\hspace{-0.2cm}.05$ Resolution with the VLT
The SINFONI integral field spectrometer for the VLT will provide nearinfrared spatially resolved spectra at spatial resolutions close to the... -
Discovery of an X-Ray Outburst in an Optically Non-Active Galaxy
The main X-ray and optical properties of a very luminous X-ray outburst source are summarized. The results are: large variability in X-ray emission... -
The CORALIE Planet-Search Sample
This short contribution presents a description of the CORALIE sample selection of more than 1600 dwarf stars for the planet-search programme on the... -
On the Formation of Jets
The phenomenology of jets associated with a variety of black hole systems is summarized, emphasizing the constraints imposed on their origin. Models... -
Modelling Synchrotron Outbursts in 3C 273
We present an improved approach to derive the observed evolution of a typical synchrotron outburst in 3C 273. The method consists in a simultaneous... -
Evidence of a Supernova Origin for the Black Hole in GRO J1655-40 (Nova Scorpii 1994)
We report the discovery of a strong overabundance of several $\alpha$... -
Type Ia Supernovae: Progenitors and Diversities
A key question for supernova cosmology is whether the peak luminosities of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are sufficiently free from the effects of... -
Evidence for Core Collapse in the Type Ib/c SN 1999ex
We present optical and infrared spectra of SN 1999ex, which are characterized by the lack of strong hydrogen lines, weak optical He I lines, and...
