The close environment of 24 micron galaxies at 0.6<z<1.0 in the COSMOS field

K. I. Caputi, K. Kovac, M. Bolzonella +62

We investigate the close environment of 203 Spitzer 24 micron-selected sources at 0.6<z<1.0 using zCOSMOS-bright redshifts and spectra of I<22.5 AB mag galaxies, over 1.5 sq. deg.…

How non-magnetic are "non-magnetic" Herbig Ae/Be stars?

G. A. Wade, E. Alecian, C. Catala +9

Our recent discovery of magnetic fields in a small number of Herbig Ae/Be stars has required that we survey a much larger sample of stars. From our FORS1 and ESPaDOnS surveys, we h…

Magnetism in pre-MS intermediate-mass stars and the fossil field hypothesis

E. Alecian, G. A. Wade, C. Catala +11

Today, one of the greatest challenges concerning the Ap/Bp stars is to understand the origin of their slow rotation and their magnetic fields. The favoured hypothesis for the latte…

Interplanetary Lyman line profiles: variations with solar activity cycle

Eric Quémerais, Rosine Lallement, Jean-Loup Bertaux +4

Interplanetary Lyman alpha line profiles are derived from the SWAN H cell data measurements. The measurements cover a 6-year period from solar minimum (1996) to after the solar max…

O stars with weak winds: the Galactic case

Fabrice Martins, Daniel Schaerer, John Hillier +3

We study the stellar and wind properties of a sample of Galactic O dwarfs to track the conditions under which weak winds (i.e mass loss rates lower than ~ 1e-8 Msol/yr) appear. The…

A VLT study of metal-rich extragalactic H II regions. I. Observations and empirical abundances

Fabio Bresolin, Daniel Schaerer, Rosa Gonzalez Delgado +1

We have obtained spectroscopic observations from 3600 Angstrom to 9200 Angstrom with FORS at the Very Large Telescope for approximately 70 H II regions located in the spiral galaxi…

The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey - Evolution of the luminosity functions by galaxy type up to z=1.5 from first epoch data

E. Zucca, O. Ilbert, S. Bardelli +47

From the first epoch observations of the VVDS up to z=1.5 we have derived luminosity functions (LF) of different spectral type galaxies. The VVDS data, covering ~70% of the life of…
