Tests of achromatic phase shifters performed on the SYNAPSE test bench: a progress report
Pavel Gabor, Peter A. Schuller, Bruno Chazelas +16
The achromatic phase shifter (APS) is a component of the Bracewell nulling interferometer studied in preparation for future space missions (viz. Darwin/TPF-I) focusing on spectrosc…
Molecular Signatures in the Near Infrared Dayside Spectrum of HD 189733b
M. R. Swain, G. Vasisht, G. Tinetti +5
We have measured the dayside spectrum of HD 189733b between 1.5 and 2.5 microns using the NICMOS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. The emergent spectrum contains significan…
FERENGI: Redshifting galaxies from SDSS to GEMS, STAGES and COSMOS
Marco Barden, Knud Jahnke, Boris Häußler
We describe the creation of a set of artificially "redshifted" galaxies in the range 0.1<z<1.1 using a set of ~100 SDSS low redshift (v<7000 km/s) images as input. The intention is…
The mass of the black hole in Centaurus A from SINFONI AO-assisted integral-field observations of stellar kinematics
Michele Cappellari, N. Neumayer, J. Reunanen +3
We present a determination of the mass of the supermassive black hole (BH) and the nuclear stellar orbital distribution of the elliptical galaxy Centaurus A (NGC5128) using high-re…
The Gaia Project - technique, performance and status
Stefan Jordan
Gaia is a satellite mission of the ESA, aiming at absolute astrometric measurements of about one billion stars (all stars down to 20th magnitude, with unprecedented accuracy. Addit…
New views on bar pattern speeds from the NUGA survey
V. Casasola, S. Garcia-Burillo, F. Combes +10
We present a review on bar pattern speeds from preliminary results in the context of the Nuclei of Galaxies (NUGA) project. The large variety of molecular circumnuclear morphologie…
