Physical properties of galaxies and their evolution in the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey. I. The evolution of the mass-metallicity relation up to z~0.9
F. Lamareille, J. Brinchmann, T. Contini +43
We derive the mass-metallicity relation of star-forming galaxies up to , using data from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey. Automatic measurement of emission-line fluxes and equi…
Mass loss from hot massive stars
J. Puls, J. S. Vink, F. Najarro
Mass loss is a key process in the evolution of massive stars, and must be understood quantitatively to be successfully included in broader astrophysical applications. In this revie…
HVS7: a chemically peculiar hyper-velocity star
N. Przybilla, M. F. Nieva, A. Tillich +3
Context: Hyper-velocity stars are suggested to originate from the dynamical interaction of binary stars with the supermassive black hole in the Galactic centre (GC), which accelera…
The supermassive black hole of Fornax A
N. Nowak, R. P. Saglia, J. Thomas +3
The radio galaxy Fornax A (NGC 1316) is a prominent merger remnant in the outskirts of the Fornax cluster. Its giant radio lobes suggest the presence of a powerful AGN and thus a c…
LMC origin of the hyper-velocity star HE 0437-5439. Beyond the supermassive black hole paradigm
N. Przybilla, M. F. Nieva, U. Heber +4
Context: Hyper-velocity stars move so fast that only a supermassive black hole (SMBH) seems to be capable to accelerate them. Hence the Galactic centre (GC) is their only suggested…
A deep i-selected multi-waveband galaxy catalogue in the COSMOS field
A. Gabasch, Y. Goranova, U. Hopp +2
In this paper we present a deep and homogeneous i-band selected multi-waveband catalogue in the COSMOS field covering an area of about 0.7 square-degree. Our catalogue with a forma…
Dynamical modelling of luminous and dark matter in 17 Coma early-type galaxies
J. Thomas, R. P. Saglia, R. Bender +5
Dynamical models for 17 Coma early-type galaxies are presented. The galaxy sample consists of flattened, rotating as well as non-rotating early-types including cD and S0 galaxies w…
Axisymmetric orbit models of N-body merger remnants: a dependency of reconstructed mass on viewing angle
J. Thomas, R. Jesseit, T. Naab +3
We model mock observations of collisionless N-body disc-disc mergers with an axisymmetric orbit superposition program that has been used to model Coma ellipticals. The remnants sam…
The supermassive black hole in NGC4486a detected with SINFONI at the VLT
N. Nowak, R. P. Saglia, J. Thomas +4
The near-infrared integral field spectrograph SINFONI at the ESO VLT opens a new window for the study of central supermassive black holes. With a near-IR spatial resolution similar…
X-ray monitoring of optical novae in M31 from July 2004 to February 2005
W. Pietsch, F. Haberl, G. Sala +9
Optical novae have recently been identified as the major class of supersoft X-ray sources in M31 based on ROSAT and early XMM-Newton and Chandra observations. This paper reports on…
Statistical properties of a sample of periodically variable B-type supergiants - Evidence for opacity-driven gravity-mode oscillations
K. Lefever, J. Puls, C. Aerts
We have studied a sample of 28 periodically variable B-type supergiants selected from the HIPPARCOS mission and 12 comparison stars covering the whole B-type spectral range. Our go…
The Spitzer IRS view of V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object)
A. Evans, V. H. Tyne, J. Th. van Loon +11
We present an observation of the very late thermal pulse object V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object) with the Infrared Spectrometer (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The emission from…
An evolutionary disc model of the edge-on galaxy NGC 5907
A. Just, C. Moellenhoff, A. Borch
We present a physical model that explains the two disparate observational facts: 1) the exponential vertical disc structure in the optical and NIR of the non-obscured part of the s…
Dynamical properties of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies. II. Traces of dynamical evolution and end products of local ultraluminous mergers
K. M. Dasyra, L. J. Tacconi, R. I. Davies +8
We present results from our Very Large Telescope large program to study the dynamical evolution of local Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) and QSOs. This paper is the second…
Abundance analysis of prime B-type targets for asteroseismology I. Nitrogen excess in slowly-rotating beta Cephei stars
T. Morel, K. Butler, C. Aerts +2
We present the results of a detailed NLTE abundance study of nine beta Cephei stars, all of them being prime targets for theoretical modelling: gamma Peg, delta Cet, nu Eri, beta C…
