The Rest-Frame Optical Properties of Star-Forming Galaxies at z~2
We present preliminary results from Hα spectroscopy and deep K-band imaging of UV-selected star-forming galaxies at z~2. We see evidence for... -
Tracing the Evolution of Massive Galaxies up to z ~ 3
Objects with unusual red near-IR color J-K > 3 are extremely rare at magnitude brighter than K=20, while their surface density increases at fainter... -
Brightest Cluster Galaxy Formation in the Cluster C0037-2522: Flattening of the Dark Matter Cusp
The X-ray cluster C0337-2522 at redshift z = 0.59 hosts in its core a group of five elliptical galaxies. Using N-body simulations we show that a... -
Multiwavelength Maps of Simulations of Galaxy Formation
We performed smoothed particle hydro-dynamical simulations of isolated collapsing triaxial systems initially composed of dark matter (DM) and gas... -
Multiwavelength Study of the NEPR Sample. The 60 μm Luminosity Function
We present the 60 μm luminosity function (LF) of the deepest complete IRAS selected sample [1] so far available, in the North Ecliptic Polar Region... -
T-ReCS and Michelle: The Mid-Infrared Spectroscopic Capabilities of the Gemini Observatory
Gemini Observatory’s northern and southern telescopes are both presently being outfitted with facility mid-infrared imagers/spectrometers. This will... -
GIANO: An Ultra-Stable IR Echelle Spectrometer for the TNG Telescope
GIANO is an IR cross-dispersed echelle spectrometer designed to achieve high throughput, high resolving power, wide band coverage and high accuracy... -
The Third Body in the Eclipsing Binaries AR Aurigae and TX Herculis
A preliminary analysis of the up-to-date O-C diagrams of AR Aur and TX Her confirms possible continuous oscillatory variations in their orbital... -
Infrared Spectroscopy of H+3 in the Interstellar Medium
Long a subject of laboratory and theoretical studies, H+3indexAH+3 is now recognized to be a fundamental ingredient of interstellar space, as the... -
4.7 μm CO and H2 Line Emission in NGC 2071
Two lines of the fundamental vibration-rotation band of carbon monoxide at 4.7 μm have been detected in emission in the NGC 2071 IR out.ow region,... -
Tracing Accretion onto Herbig Ae/Be Stars Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
The mass accretion rate is thought to be a key parameter in the evolution of young stellar objects (YSOs). As a function of time, the accretion rate... -
Mid Infrared Spectro-Photometric Monitoring of V4334 Sagittarii (aka Sakurai’s Object)
V4334 Sgr is a star which underwent a very late Helium shell flash in 1995 [1,2]. The last known similar event was V605Aql in 1919. V4334 Sgr has... -
Phoenix Spectra of Carbon Stars in the LMC
We present high-resolution, IR-spectra of Carbon stars in the LMC obtained with the Phoenix spectrometer on the Gemini South 8-meter telescope. This... -
Spectroscopy of the M Supergiant α Ori in the 1–2.5 μm Region
The study of elemental abundances in cool stars via atomic lines in the optical region is made di.cult by stellar molecular absorption. At infrared... -
Rotation of Young Very Low Mass Objects
We present our large sample of photometric rotation periods for VLM objects in young open clusters. Based on these periods, we investigate the mass... -
Magnetic Fields and Atmospheric Motions in Pulsating Stars
New series of high-precision longitudinal magnetic field measurements of RR Lyrae has been reported here, obtained with the MuSiCoS... -
Spectral Properties of Brown Dwarfs and Hot Jupiters
Brown dwarfs bridge the gap between the stellar and planetary mass regimes. Evolving from conditions very similar to the lowest-mass stars, the... -
Surface Imaging with Atomic and Molecular Features
I give here a report on the results obtained with a new Doppler imaging code which for the first time made it possible to perform the reconstruction... -
First Spectroscopic Observations of Low-Mass Companions to X-Ray Selected Main Sequence Late B-type Dwarfs with NIRSPEC at Keck II
Recently, using near infrared photometric observations with ADONIS+ SHARP II, we have detected 21 new IR objects around 49 X-ray selected late B-type... -
Magnetic Confinement
This chapter describes the basic principles of magnetic confinement. The main representatives of magnetic confinement are the mirror machine, the...
