The evolution of the star formation activity in galaxies and its dependence on environment

B. M. Poggianti, A. von der Linden, G. De Lucia +16

We study how the proportion of star-forming galaxies evolves between z=0.8 and z=0 as a function of galaxy environment, using the [OII] line in emission as a signature of ongoing s…

Analysis of ground-based differential imager performance

A. Boccaletti, D. Mouillet, T. Fusco +4

In the context of extrasolar planet direct detection, we evaluated the performance of differential imaging with ground-based telescopes. This study was carried out in the framework…

The VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey: Luminosity dependence of clustering at z~1

A. Pollo, L. Guzzo, O. Le Fevre +2

We investigate the dependence of galaxy clustering on the galaxy intrinsic luminosity at high redshift, using the data from the First Epoch VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS). The size (…

The [OII]/Halpha ratio of emission line galaxies in the 2dF redshift survey

M. Mouhcine, I. Lewis, B. Jones +3

We investigate the systematic variation of the [OII]3727/Halpha flux line ratio as a function of various galaxy properties, i.e., luminosity, metallicity, reddening, and excitation…

Weak lensing mass reconstructions of the ESO Distant Cluster Survey

D. Clowe, P. Schneider, A. Aragon-Salamanca +12

We present weak lensing mass reconstructions for the 20 high-redshift clusters i n the ESO Distant Cluster Survey. The weak lensing analysis was performed on deep, 3-color optical…

Direct magnetic field detection in the innermost regions of an accretion disc

Jean-Francois Donati, Frederic Paletou, Jerome Bouvier +1

Models predict that magnetic fields play a crucial role in the physics of astrophysical accretion disks and their associated winds and jets. For example, the rotation of the disk t…
