HST/ACS Imaging of Omega Centauri: Optical Counterpart for the Quiescent Low-Mass X-Ray Binary
D. Haggard, A. M. Cool, J. Anderson +5
We report the discovery of an optical counterpart to a quiescent neutron star in the globular cluster Omega Centauri (NGC 5139). The star was found as part of our wide-field imagin…
The detailed optical light curve of GRB 030329
Y. M. Lipkin, E. O. Ofek, A. Gal-Yam +22
(Abridged) We present densely sampled BVRI light curves of the optical transient associated with the gamma-ray burst GRB 030329, the result of a coordinated observing campaign cond…
Ultra-high-precision velocity measurements of oscillations in alpha Cen A
R. Paul Butler, Timothy R. Bedding, Hans Kjeldsen +5
We have made differential radial velocity measurements of the star alpha Cen A using two spectrographs, UVES and UCLES, both with iodine absorption cells for wavelength referencing…
The Gemini Deep Deep Survey: II. Metals in Star-Forming Galaxies at Redshift 1.3<z<2
S. Savaglio, K. Glazebrook, R. G. Abraham +9
The goal of the Gemini Deep Deep Survey (GDDS) is to study an unbiased sample of K<20.6 galaxies in the redshift range 0.8<z<2.0. Here we determine the statistical properties of th…
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of cD Galaxies and their Globular Cluster Systems
Andres Jordan, Patrick Cote, Michael J. West +3
We have used WFPC2 on the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain F450W and F814W images of four cD galaxies (NGC 541 in Abell 194, NGC 2832 in Abell 779, NGC 4839 in Abell 1656 and NGC 7…
Intergalactic Globular Clusters
Michael J. West, Patrick Cote, Henry C. Ferguson +5
We confirm and extend our previous detection of a population of intergalactic globular clusters in Abell 1185, and report the first discovery of an intergalactic globular cluster i…
