Mass loss from galaxies: feeding the IGM, recycling in the IGM

Pierre-Alain Duc, Jonathan Braine, Ute Lisenfeld +2

As a result of internal processes or environmental effects like ram-pressure stripping or collisions, galaxies lose a significant part of their stellar and gaseous content. Whereas…

ISO investigates the nature of extremely-red hard X-ray sources responsible for the X-ray background

Alberto Franceschini, Dario Fadda, Catherine Cesarsky +3

We analyse very deep X-ray and mid-IR surveys in common areas of the Lockman Hole and the HDF North to study the sources of the X-ray background (XRB) and to test the standard obsc…

The AGN contribution to mid-infrared surveys

Dario Fadda, Hector Flores, Guenther Hasinger +5

We provide constraints on the AGN contribution to the mid-IR extragalactic background light from a correlation analysis of deep X-ray and mid-IR observations in two regions centred…

Cosmological Hydrodynamics with Adaptive Mesh Refinement: a new high resolution code called RAMSES

Romain Teyssier

A new N-body and hydrodynamical code, called RAMSES, is presented. It has been designed to study structure formation in the universe with high spatial resolution. The code is based…

X-rays from Star-Forming Regions in the VLT Era

Thierry Montmerle, Nicolas Grosso

The association between star-forming regions and X-ray emission was discovered over 30 years ago. We now know that essentially all young stellar objects, T Tauri stars and protosta…

ISOCAM Mid-InfraRed Detection of HR 10: A Distant Clone of Arp 220 at z=1.44

David Elbaz, Hector Flores, Pierre Chanial +5

We report the detection of the extremely red object (ERO), HR 10 (I-K= 6.5, z=1.44), at 4.9 and 6.1 microns (rest-frame) with ISOCAM, the mid-infrared (MIR) camera onboard the Infr…

Lithium Depletion in Pre-Mainsequence Solar-Like Stars

L. Piau, S. Turck-Chieze

We examine the internal structure of solar-like stars in detail between 0.8 and 1.4M Sun and during pre-main sequence phase. Recent opacity computations of OPAL along with a new hy…

The Galactic Halo from Microlensing

A. Milsztajn

The status of the microlensing search for galactic dark matter in the form of massive astronomical compact halo objects (machos) is reviewed. Unresolved issues are discussed, as we…

XMM-Newton Observation of a Distant X-ray Selected Cluster of Galaxies at z=1.26 with Possible Cluster Interaction

Yasuhiro Hashimoto, Guenther Hasinger, Monique Arnaud +2

We report on the XMM-Newton (XMM) observation of RXJ1053.7+5735, one of the most distant (z = 1.26) X-ray selected clusters of galaxies, which also shows an unusual double-lobed X-…
