The BHK Color Diagram: a New Tool to Study Young Stellar Populations
Daniel Devost
A new method to derive age differences between the various super star clusters observed in starburst galaxies using the two color diagram (B-H) vs (H-K) is presented. This method o…
The Detailed Science Case for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer: the Composition and Dynamics of the Faint Universe
Alan McConnachie, Carine Babusiaux, Michael Balogh +173
MSE is an 11.25m aperture observatory with a 1.5 square degree field of view that will be fully dedicated to multi-object spectroscopy. More than 3200 fibres will feed spectrograph…
Spitzer-IRS mapping of the inner kpc of NGC 253: Spatial distribution of the Ne III, PAH 11.3 microns and H2 (0-0) S(1) lines and a gradient in the Ne III/Ne II line ratio
Daniel Devost, Bernhard R. Brandl, L. Armus +6
We present our early results of the mapping of the nucleus of the starburst galaxy NGC 253 and its immediate surroundings using the Infrared Spectrograph onboard the Spitzer Space…
3D Optical Spectroscopic Study of NGC3344 with SITELLE: I. Identification and Confirmation of Supernova Remnants
Ismael Moumen, Carmelle Robert, Daniel Devost +4
We present the first optical identification and confirmation of a sample of supernova remnants (SNRs) in the nearby galaxy NGC3344. Using high spectral and spatial resolution data,…
