XMM-Newton observations of Sagittarius A East
Masaaki Sakano, Robert S. Warwick, Anne Decourchelle +1
We present an analysis of a recent XMM-Newton observation of Sgr A East, a supernova remnant located close to the Galactic Centre. Very high quality X-ray spectra reveal many emiss…
Structural and scaling properties of galaxy clusters: probing the physics of structure formation
M. Arnaud, G. W. Pratt, E. Pointecouteau
We present XMM-Newton studies of the total mass, gas density, temperature and entropy profiles in nearby hot and cool clusters, together with follow-up observations of distant clus…
Measurement of Cosmic Shear with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph
Jason Rhodes, Alexandre Refregier, Nicholas R. Collins +3
Weak lensing by large-scale structure allows a direct measure of the dark matter distribution. We have used parallel images taken with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STI…
XMM-Newton Observations of the Ultraluminous Nuclear X-ray Source in M33
L. Foschini, J. Rodriguez, Y. Fuchs +5
We present observations with XMM-Newton of M33 X-8, the ultraluminous X-ray source (L_{0.5-10 keV} ~ 2x10^39 erg/s) closest to the centre of the galaxy. The best-fit model is simil…
Hints for a fast precessing relativistic radio jet in LS I +61 303
M. Massi, M. Ribo, J. M. Paredes +3
Here we discuss two consecutive MERLIN observations of the X-ray binary LS I +61 303. The first observation shows a double-sided jet extending up to about 200 AU on both sides of a…
Well-proportioned universes suppress CMB quadrupole
Jeffrey Weeks, Jean-Pierre Luminet, Alain Riazuelo +1
A widespread myth asserts that all small universe models suppress the CMB quadrupole. In actual fact, some models suppress the quadrupole while others elevate it, according to whet…
Dust emission in early-type galaxies: The mid-infrared view
E. M. Xilouris, S. C. Madden, F. Galliano +2
We present mid-infrared (MIR) maps for a sample of 18 early-type galaxies observed at 4.5, 6.7 and 15 microns with the ISOCAM instrument on board the ISO satellite with a 6'' spati…
Detection and discrimination of cosmological non-Gaussian signatures by multi-scale methods
J. L. Starck, N. Aghanim, O. Forni
Recent Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations indicate that the temperature anisotropies arise from quantum fluctuations in the inflationary scenario. In the simplest infla…
An XMM-Newton observation of the dynamically active binary cluster A1750
E. Belsole, G. W. Pratt, J-L. Sauvageot +1
We present results from the XMM-Newton observation of the binary cluster A1750 at z = 0.086. We have performed a detailed study of the surface brightness, temperature and entropy d…
The radio galaxy K-z relation: the 10^12 Msol mass limit; masses of galaxies from the L_K luminosity, up to z >4
B. Rocca-Volmerange, D. Le Borgne, C. De Breuck +2
The narrow K-z relation of powerful radio galaxies in the Hubble K diagram is often attributed to the stellar populations of massive elliptical galaxies. Extended over a large rang…
A transient large-scale relativistic radio jet from GX 339-4
Elena Gallo, Stephane Corbel, Rob Fender +2
We report on the formation and evolution of a large-scale, synchrotron-emitting jet from the black hole candidate and X-ray binary system GX 339-4. In 2002 May, the source moved fr…
High order correlation functions for self interacting scalar field in de Sitter space
Francis Bernardeau, Tristan Brunier, Jean-Philippe Uzan
We present the expressions of the three- and four-point correlation functions of a self interacting light scalar field in a de Sitter spacetime at tree order respectively for a cub…
Finite volume effects for non-Gaussian multi-field inflationary models
Francis Bernardeau, Jean-Philippe Uzan
Models of multi-field inflation exhibiting primordial non-Gaussianity have recently been introduced. This is the case in particular if the fluctuations of a light field scalar fiel…
Cosmic microwave background anisotropies in multi-connected flat spaces
Alain Riazuelo, Jeffrey Weeks, Jean-Philippe Uzan +2
This article investigates the signature of the seventeen multi-connected flat spaces in cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps. For each such space it recalls a fundamental domain…
The Connection between W31, SGR 1806-20, & LBV 1806-20: Distance, Extinction, and Structure
S. Corbel, Stephen S. Eikenberry
We present new millimeter and infrared spectroscopic observations towards the radio nebula G10.0-0.3, which is powered by the wind of the Luminous Blue Variable star LBV 1806-20, a…
Collisions between carbonaceous grains in the interstellar medium
Reanud Papoular
Semi-empirical molecular dynamics is used to simulate hydrocarbon grain sputtering and collisions which are extremely difficult to study experimentally. This microscopic and dynami…
Dust enshrouded star-forming activity in Arp 299
P. Gallais, V. Charmandaris, E. Le Floc'h +4
We present mid-infrared spectro-imaging (5 - 16 microns) observations of the infrared luminous interacting system Arp 299 (=Mrk171 =IC694+NGC3690) obtained with the ISOCAM instrume…
Star formation rates of distant luminous infrared galaxies derived from Halpha and IR luminosities

We present a study of the star formation rate (SFR) for a sample of 16 distant galaxies detected by ISOCAM at 15um in the CFRS0300+00 and CFRS1400+52 fields. Their high quality and…
Possible Evidence for MeV Dark Matter In Dwarf Spheroidals
Dan Hooper, Francesc Ferrer, Céline Boehm +4
It has been recently proposed that the observed 511 keV emission from the Galactic bulge could be the product of very light (1-100 MeV) annihilating dark matter particles. Other po…
