Ion-dominated plasma and the origin of jets in quasars
A. Hujeirat, M. Camenzind, M. Livio
Low cooling plasmas associated with large kinetic energies are likely to be the origin of the kpc-extended and well collimated extra-galactic jets. It is proposed that jets are lau…
The Evolution of a Mass-Selected Sample of Early-Type Field Galaxies
D. Rusin, C. S. Kochanek, E. E. Falco +7
We investigate the evolution of mass-selected early-type field galaxies using a sample of 28 gravitational lenses spanning the redshift range 0 < z < 1. Based on the redshift-depen…
Dark matter within high surface brightness spiral galaxies
Thilo Kranz, Adrianne Slyz, Hans-Walter Rix
We present results from a detailed dynamical analysis of five high surface brightness, late type spirals, studied with the aim to quantify the luminous-to-dark matter ratio inside…
Ultradeep Near-Infrared ISAAC Observations of the HDF-S: Observations, Reduction, Multicolor Catalog, and Photometric Redshifts
I. Labbe, M. Franx, G. Rudnick +10
We present deep near-infrared (NIR) Js, H, and Ks-band ISAAC imaging of the WFPC2 field of the HDF-S. The 2.5'x 2.5' high Galactic latitude field was observed with the VLT under th…
Estimating Star Formation Rates from Infrared and Radio Luminosities: The Origin of the Radio-Infrared Correlation
Eric F. Bell
I have assembled a diverse sample of galaxies from the literature with far-ultraviolet (FUV), optical, infrared (IR) and radio luminosities to explore the calibration of radio-deri…
Reduction of chemical networks. I. The case of molecular clouds
D. Wiebe, D. Semenov, Th. Henning
We present a new method to analyse and reduce chemical networks and apply this technique to the chemistry in molecular clouds. Using the technique, we investigated the possibility…
Small-scale structure of the galactic cirrus emission
Cs. Kiss, P. Abraham, U. Klaas +3
We examined the Fourier power spectrum characteristics of cirrus structures in 13 sky fields with faint to bright cirrus emission observed with ISOPHOT in the 90--200µm wavele…
Structural Evidence for Environment-Driven Transformation of the Blue Galaxies in Local Abell Clusters - A85, A496, and A754
Daniel H. McIntosh, Hans-Walter Rix, Nelson Caldwell
We compare V-band structural properties of cluster and field galaxies, to test whether much of the current cluster membership resulted from the transformation of infalling spirals…
Selection of Metal-poor Giant Stars Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Photometric System
A. Helmi, Z. Ivezic, F. Prada +10
We present a method for photometric selection of metal-poor halo giants from the imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). These stars are offset from the stellar locus…
Gamma photometric redshifts for long gamma-ray bursts
Z. Bagoly, I. Csabai, A. Mészáros +4
It is known that the soft tail of the gamma-ray bursts' spectra show excesses from the exact power-law dependence. In this article we show that this departure can be detected in th…
Uncovering Additional Clues to Galaxy Evolution. I. Dwarf Irregulars in the Field
Henry Lee, Marshall L. McCall, Robin L. Kingsburgh +2
In order to recognize environmental effects on the evolution of dwarf galaxies in clusters of galaxies, it is first necessary to quantify the properties of objects which have evolv…
The FORS Deep Field: Field selection, photometric observations and photometric catalog
J. Heidt, I. Appenzeller, A. Gabasch +21
The FORS Deep Field project is a multi-colour, multi-object spectroscopic investigation of an approx. 7 times 7 region near the south galactic pole based mostly on observations car…
Local galaxy flows within 5 Mpc
I. D. Karachentsev, D. I. Makarov, M. E. Sharina +8
We present Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 images of sixteen dwarf galaxies as part of our snapshot survey of nearby galaxy candidates. We derive their distances from the luminosity o…
A Survey for Large Separation Lensed FIRST Quasars, II. Magnification Bias and Redshift Distribution
Eran O. Ofek, Hans-Walter Rix, Dan Maoz +1
The statistics of large-separation gravitational lensing are a powerful tool to probe mass distributions on the scale of galaxy clusters. In this paper we refine the analysis of ou…
Closest Star Seen Orbiting the Supermassive Black Hole at the Centre of the Milky Way
R. Schodel, T. Ott, R. Genzel +20
Measurements of stellar velocities and variable X-ray emission near the centre of the Milky Way have provided the strongest evidence so far that the dark mass concentrations seen i…
Galaxy Flow in the Canes Venatici I Cloud
I. D. Karachentsev, M. E. Sharina, A. E. Dolphin +7
We present an analysis of Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 images of eighteen galaxies in the Canes Venatici I cloud. We derive their distances from the luminosity of the tip of the re…
CN abundance variations on the main sequence of 47 Tuc
Daniel Harbeck, Graeme H. Smith, Eva K. Grebel
We report on a deep spectroscopic survey for star-to-star CN variations along the main sequence (MS) of the globular cluster 47 Tuc with ESO's VLT. We find a significant bimodal di…
Tidal dwarfs in the M81 group: the second generation?
L. N. Makarova, E. K. Grebel, I. D. Karachentsev +8
We derive quantitative star formation histories of the four suspected tidal dwarf galaxies in the M81 group, HolmbergIX, BK3N, Arp-loop (A0952+69), and Garland, using Hubble Space…
