Filaments in the Galactic Center -- with special reference to the Snake

G. V. Bicknell, J. K. Li

The nonthermal filaments in the Galactic Center constitute one of the great mysteries of this region of the Galaxy. We summarise the observational data on these filaments and criti…

A Proper Motion Survey for White Dwarfs with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2

Cailin A. Nelson, Kem H. Cook, Tim S. Axelrod +2

We have performed a search for halo white dwarfs as high proper motion objects in a second epoch WFPC2 image of the Groth-Westphal strip. We identify 24 high proper motion objects…

Surface brightness fluctuation distances for nearby dwarf elliptical galaxies

Helmut Jerjen, Rami Rekola, Leo Takalo +2

We obtained B and R-band CCD images for the dwarf elliptical (dE) galaxies DDO44, UGC4998, KK98_77, DDO71, DDO113, and UGC7356 at the NOT. Using Fourier analysis technique we measu…

Variable Stars in the Fornax Dwarf Galaxy

D. Bersier, P. R. Wood

We present a search for variable stars in the Fornax dwarf galaxy covering an area of 1/2 a square degree. We have ~30 epochs of VI data. We found and determined periods for more t…
