Applicability of Emerging Resource Discovery Standards to the VO
The Virtual Observatory (VO) will be one of the first applications belonging to a new generation of network services which are commonly referred to... -
The H Band Luminosity Function of the Centre of the 30 Dor Cluster
We present results from deep near-infrared H band observations of the central square arcminute of the 30 Dor cluster in the LMC, aimed at detecting... -
Classification of Active Objects in the Multiwavelength Parametric Space
In this paper, we apply two algorithms for clustering analysis: support vector machines (SVMs) and learning vector quantization (LVQ) to classify... -
Stellar Populations in NGC 1399 Traced by Globular Clusters from a Wide-Field Study
We present a photometric investigation of the globular cluster population of NGC 1399, the central galaxy in the Fornax cluster, in Washington C and... -
A Galactic Model as a Useful Tool for Virtual Observatories
Many observational data will be available through Virtual Observatories, but at some wavelengths and in some directions, no data yet exist.... -
Synthetic Integrated Colours as Age Indicators
The uncertainties in the synthetic integrated colours of simple stellar populations are quantified in this study. Despite some skepticism, synthetic... -
Study of the Star Cluster Population in NGC 7727
We present the HST V and I photometry for the cluster population in NGC7727. The analysis of the different populations identified in the... -
The Disruption Time of Clusters in Selected Regions of Four Galaxies
If the cluster formation rate is constant and the disruption time of clusters depends on their initial mass as... -
2dF Spectroscopy of M104 Globular Clusters
We present preliminary results of 2dF spectroscopy of globular clusters in The Sombrero (M104). We find 56 new clusters, and compile a total sample... -
Forming Globular Cluster Systems in a Semi-Analytic Scheme
We apply the semi-analytical galaxy formation code of Cole et al. to investigate the formation of globular cluster (GC) systems in hierarchical... -
The Formation of Globular Clusters in the Local Universe
The discovery that young globular clusters are forming in local galaxies has revitalized the study of globular clusters. There is now good evidence... -
5. Building Blocks of Life
Life is based on complex chemistry yet only a few of all the available elements participate in most life-supporting reactions on Earth: carbon,... -
Hot Massive Planets Around Nearby Young Stars – A Search with NACO at the VLT
The detection of massive planets (3-10 M J ) around nearby (D ≤ 50 pc) young late-type stars (10-200 Myr) is possible... -
Selected Examples of Solar and Extra-Solar Planetary Science with AO
High spatial resolution planetary science has seen a large boost from AO observations complementing space missions. Adaptive optics is particularly... -
Quality Control and Data Flow Operations of NAOS-CONICA
The verification of data and the monitoring of instrument performance – known collectively as quality control (QC) – are an integral part of the... -
NACO and PUEO-GriF Investigating Small Scale Structures and Velocity Fields in OMC1
Infrared observations of the OMC1 star forming region obtained at the CFHT and at the ESO VLT, both in imaging mode with adaptive optics, are... -
Lyot Coronagraphy at the Palomar and Phase-Mask Coronagraphy at the VLT
In this paper, we report on observations of faint companions and circumstellar disks at the Palomar 200-inch telescope. As a result, we present... -
NACO-SDI: A Novel Simultaneous Differential Imager for the Direct Imaging of Giant Extra-Solar Planets
Young (100 Myr old) extra-solar planets are 100000 times more self-luminous than old (5 Gyr) extra-solar planets, whereas their primary stars are... -
AO-Assisted Observations of Ultra-Compact H II Regions
High-spatial resolution observations in the near-infrared (NIR) with Adaptive Optics (AO) represent a powerful tool to investigate massive star... -
Near-Infrared High Resolution Spectroscopy of High-z QSO Absorption Systems with the Subaru Adaptive Optics System
We are conducting a near-infrared (1.0–1.35 μm) high resolution spectroscopic survey of high-z QSOs to study the QSO absorption systems at high...
