A New Measurement of the X-ray Temperature Function of Clusters of Galaxies

Yasushi Ikebe, Thomas H. Reiprich, Hans Boehringer +2

We present a newly measured X-ray temperature function of galaxy clusters using a complete flux-limited sample of 61 clusters. The sample is constructed with the total survey area…

Chromospherically young, kinematically old stars

H. J. Rocha-Pinto, B. V. Castilho, W. J. Maciel

We have investigated a group of stars known to have low chromospheric ages, but high kinematical ages. Isochrone, chemical and lithium ages are estimated for them. The majority of…

The primordial Helium-4 abundance determination: systematic effects

T. X. Thuan, Y. I. Izotov

By extrapolating to O/H = N/H = 0 the empirical correlations Y-O/H and Y-N/H defined by a relatively large sample of ~ 45 Blue Compact Dwarfs (BCDs), we have obtained a primordial…

Deep HST-WFPC2 photometry of NGC 288. I. Binary Systems and Blue Stragglers

M. Bellazzini, F. Fusi Pecci, M. Messineo +2

We present the first results of a deep WFPC2 photometric survey of the loose galactic globular cluster NGC 288. The fraction of binary systems is estimated from the color distribut…

The KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey. III. [O III]-selected Survey List

John J. Salzer, Caryl Gronwall, Vicki L. Sarajedini +8

The KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) is an objective-prism survey for extragalactic emission-line objects. It combines many of the features of previous slitless spect…
