Probing the faint end of the quasar luminosity function at z ~ 4 in the COSMOS field
H. Ikeda, T. Nagao, K. Matsuoka +16
We searched for quasars that are ~ 3 mag fainter than the SDSS quasars in the redshift range 3.7 < z < 4.7 in the COSMOS field to constrain the faint end of the quasar luminosity f…
Fundamental Vibrational Transition of CO during the Outburst of EX Lupi in 2008
M. Goto, Zs. Regály, C. P. Dullemond +16
We report monitoring observations of the T Tauri star EX Lupi during its outburst in 2008 in the CO fundamental band at 4.6-5.0 um. The observations were carried out at the VLT and…
Dust formation in the ejecta of the Type II-P supernova 2004dj
T. Szalai, J. Vinkó, Z. Balog +3
Core-collapse supernovae (CC SNe), especially Type II-Plateau ones, are thought to be important contributors to cosmic dust production. SN 2004dj, one of the closest and brightest…
Scaling Relations between Gas and Star Formation in Nearby Galaxies
F. Bigiel, A. Leroy, F. Walter
High resolution, multi-wavelength maps of a sizeable set of nearby galaxies have made it possible to study how the surface densities of HI, H2 and star formation rate (Sigma_HI, Si…
Structure and evolution of debris disks around F-type stars: I. Observations, database and basic evolutionary aspects
A. Moór, I. Pascucci, Á. Kóspál +11
Although photometric and spectroscopic surveys with the Spitzer Space Telescope increased remarkably the number of well studied debris disks around A-type and Sun-like stars, detai…
Observational Constraints on Submillimeter Dust Opacity
Yancy L. Shirley, Tracy L. Huard, Klaus M. Pontoppidan +4
Infrared extinction maps and submillimeter dust continuum maps are powerful probes of the density structure in the envelope of star-forming cores. We make a direct comparison betwe…
A Panchromatic View OF NGC 602: Time-Resolved Star Formation with the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes
Lynn Redding Carlson, Marta Sewilo, Margaret Meixner +16
We present the photometric catalogs for the star-forming cluster NGC 602 in the wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud covering a range of wavelengths from optical HST/ACS (F555W, F814…
Modeling CO Emission: I. CO as a Column Density Tracer and the X-Factor in Molecular Clouds
Rahul Shetty, Simon C. Glover, Cornelis P. Dullemond +1
Theoretical and observational investigations have indicated that the abundance of carbon monoxide (CO) is very sensitive to intrinsic properties of the gaseous medium, such as dens…
The temperature of hot gas in galaxies and clusters: baryons dancing to the tune of dark matter
Steen H. Hansen, Andrea V. Macció, Emilio Romano-Diaz +4
The temperature profile of hot gas in galaxies and galaxy clusters is largely determined by the depth of the total gravitational potential and thereby by the dark matter (DM) distr…
MESS (Mass-loss of Evolved StarS), a Herschel Key Program
M. A. T. Groenewegen, C. Waelkens, M. J. Barlow +39
MESS (Mass-loss of Evolved StarS) is a Guaranteed Time Key Program that uses the PACS and SPIRE instruments on board the Herschel Space Observatory to observe a representative samp…
First results from fringe tracking with the PRIMA fringe sensor unit
J. Sahlmann, R. Abuter, S. Menardi +12
The fringe sensor unit (FSU) is the central element of the phase referenced imaging and micro-arcsecond astrometry (PRIMA) dual-feed facility for the Very Large Telescope interfero…
Chemistry in Infrared Dark Clouds
T. Vasyunina, H. Linz, Th. Henning +3
Massive stars play an important role in shaping the structure of galaxies. Infrared dark clouds (IRDCs), with their low temperatures and high densities, have been identified as the…
UWISH2 -- The UKIRT Widefield Infrared Survey for H2
D., Froebrich, C. J. +56
We present the goals and preliminary results of an unbiased, near-infrared, narrow-band imaging survey of the First Galactic Quadrant (10deg<l<65deg ; -1.3deg<b<+1.3deg). This area…
The thick disk in the galaxy NGC 4244 from S4G imaging
Sébastien Comerón, Johan H. Knapen, Kartik Sheth +16
If thick disks are ubiquitous and a natural product of disk galaxy formation and/or evolution processes, all undisturbed galaxies which have evolved during a significant fraction o…
The thermal structure and the location of the snow line in the protosolar nebula: axisymmetric models with full 3-D radiative transfer
M. Min, C. P. Dullemond, M. Kama +1
The precise location of the water ice condensation front ('snow line') in the protosolar nebula has been a debate for a long time. Its importance stems from the expected substantia…
High-resolution spectroscopic view of planet formation sites
Zs. Regaly, L. Kiss, Zs. Sandor +1
Theories of planet formation predict the birth of giant planets in the inner, dense, and gas-rich regions of the circumstellar disks around young stars. These are the regions from…
Herschel-ATLAS: Rapid evolution of dust in galaxies in the last 5 billion years
L. Dunne, H. Gomez, E. da Cunha +38
We present the first direct and unbiased measurement of the evolution of the dust mass function of galaxies over the past 5 billion years of cosmic history using data from the Scie…
