Late-type galaxies observed with SAURON. Two-dimensional stellar and emission-line kinematics of 18 spirals

K. Ganda, J. Falcón-Barroso, R. F. Peletier +5

We present the stellar and gas kinematics of a sample of 18 nearby late-type spiral galaxies (Hubble types ranging from Sb to Sd), observed with the integral-field spectrograph SAU…

Size and Properties of the NLR in the Seyfert-2 Galaxy NGC 1386

Nicola Bennert, Bruno Jungwiert, Stefanie Komossa +2

We study the narrow-line region (NLR) of the Seyfert-2 galaxy NGC 1386 by means of long-slit spectroscopy obtained with FORS1 at the VLT. We use the galaxy itself for subtracting t…

Internal kinematics and stellar populations of dE galaxies: Clues to their formation/evolution

Philippe Prugniel, Igor Chilingarian, Olga Sil'chenko +1

What is the origin of the numerous population of diffuse elliptical galaxies (dE) in clusters? These galaxies formed their stars several billion years ago and lost their gas. Thoug…

First AMBER/VLTI observations of hot massive stars

R. G. Petrov, F. Millour, O. Chesneau +45

AMBER is the first near infrared focal instrument of the VLTI. It combines three telescopes and produces spectrally resolved interferometric measures. This paper discusses some pre…

Formation of Structure in Molecular Clouds: A Case Study

F. Heitsch, A. Burkert, L. Hartmann +2

Molecular clouds (MCs) are highly structured and ``turbulent''. Colliding gas streams of atomic hydrogen have been suggested as a possible source of MCs, imprinting the filamentary…

STEllar Content and Kinematics from high resolution galactic spectra via Maximum A Posteriori

P. Ocvirk, C. Pichon, A. Lancon +1

We introduce STECKMAP (STEllar Content and Kinematics via Maximum A Posteriori), a method to recover the kinematical properties of a galaxy simultaneously with its stellar content…

Stellar Content from high resolution galactic spectra via Maximum A Posteriori

P. Ocvirk, C. Pichon, A. Lancon +1

This paper describes STECMAP (STEllar Content via Maximum A Posteriori), a flexible, non-parametric inversion method for the interpretation of the integrated light spectra of galax…

Exact solution of the standard transfer problem in a stellar atmosphere

L. Chevallier, B. Rutily

We come back to the analytical solution of the standard transfer problem in a stellar atmosphere. It consists in solving the radiative transfer equation in a homogeneous and isothe…

GALICS -- VI. Modelling Hierarchical Galaxy Formation in Clusters

B. Lanzoni, B. Guiderdoni, G. A. Mamon +2

High-resolution N-body re-simulations of 15 massive (10^{14}-10^{15} Msun) dark matter haloes have been combined with the hybrid galaxy formation model GalICS (Hatton et al. 2003),…
