MACHOs in M31? Absence of evidence but not evidence of absence

Jelte T. A. de Jong, Lawrence M. Widrow, Patrick Cseresnjes +9

We present results of a microlensing survey toward the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) carried out during four observing seasons at the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT). This survey is part of…

Discovery of a high-redshift Einstein ring

R. A. Cabanac, D. Valls-Gabaud, A. O. Jaunsen +2

We report the discovery of a partial Einstein ring of radius 1.48arcsec produced by a massive (and seemingly isolated) elliptical galaxy. The spectroscopic follow-up at the VLT rev…

Nucleosynthetic signatures of the first stars

Anna Frebel, Wako Aoki, Norbert Christlieb +16

The chemically most primitive stars provide constraints on the nature of the first stellar objects that formed in the Universe; elements other than hydrogen, helium and traces of l…

Scaling Laws for Dark Matter Halos in Late-Type and Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

John Kormendy, K. C. Freeman

Maximum disk mass models fitted to galaxy rotation curves are used to show that dark matter (DM) halos in late-type and dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies satisfy well defined scalin…

Galaxy dynamics with the Planetary Nebula Spectrograph

N. R. Napolitano, A. J. Romanowsky, N. G. Douglas +6

The Planetary Nebula Spectrograph is a dedicated instrument for measuring radial velocity of individual Planetary Nebulae (PNe) in galaxies. This new instrument is providing crucia…
