Cosmic Ray Production of Li by Virialization Shocks in the Early Milky Way

Takeru K. Suzuki, Susumu Inoue

The energy dissipated by virialization shocks during hierarchical structure formation of the Galaxy can exceed that injected by concomitant supernova (SN) explosions. Cosmic rays (…

A Catalog of Compact Groups of Galaxies in the SDSS Commissioning Data

B. C. Lee, S. S. Allam, D. L. Tucker +20

Compact groups (CGs) of galaxies -- relatively poor groups of galaxies in which the typical separations between members is of the order of a galaxy diameter -- offer an exceptional…

Excess mid-IR emission in Cataclysmic Variables

G. Dubus, R. Campbell, B. Kern +2

We present a search for excess mid-IR emission due to circumbinary material in the orbital plane of cataclysmic variables (CVs). Our motivation stems from the fact that the strong…

Statistical properties of the combined emission of a population of discrete sources: astrophysical implications

M. Gilfanov, H-J. Grimm, R. Sunyaev

We study the statistical properties of the combined emission of a population of discrete sources (e.g. X-ray emission of a galaxy due to its X-ray binaries population). Namely, we…

Early Formation and Late Merging of the Giant Galaxies

Liang Gao, Abraham Loeb, P. J. E. Peebles +2

The most luminous galaxies in the present Universe are found at the centers of the most massive dark matter haloes, rich galaxy clusters. In the LCDM cosmology, such massive halo c…

Star formation history and dust attenuation in galaxies drawn from ultraviolet surveys

X. Kong, S. Charlot, J. Brinchmann +1

We compile a new sample of 115 nearby, non-Seyfert galaxies spanning a wide range of star formation activities, from starburst to nearly dormant, based on ultraviolet (UV) observat…

Local redshift surveys and galaxy evolution

Roberto De Propris, Matthew Colless, Darren Croton

We present observations of galaxy environmental dependencies using data from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. From a combined analysis of the luminosity function, Butcher-Oemler eff…

Early results from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey

O. Le Fèvre, G. Vettolani, D. Maccagni +40

The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) is underway to study the evolution of galaxies, large scale structures and AGNs, from the measurement of more than 100000 spectra of faint objects.…

Optical and Infrared Photometry of the Nearby Type Ia Supernovae 1999ee, 2000bh, 2000ca, and 2001ba

Kevin Krisciunas, Mark M. Phillips, Nicholas B. Suntzeff +20

We present near infrared photometry of the Type Ia supernova 1999ee; also, optical and infrared photometry of the Type Ia SNe 2000bh, 2000ca, and 2001ba. For SNe 1999ee and 2000bh…

XMM-Newton Witness of M86 X-ray Metamorphosis

A. Finoguenov, W. Pietsch, B. Aschenbach +1

The environmental influence of cluster media on its member galaxies, known as Butcher--Oemler effect, has recently been subject to revision due to numerous observations of strong m…

The Three-point Correlation Function of Galaxies Determined from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey

Y. P. Jing, G. Boerner

In a detailed analysis of the three point correlation function (3PCF) for the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey we have accurately measured the 3PCF for galaxies of different luminosity.…
