Emission line imaging of QSOs with high resolution
J. B. Hutchings, S. L. Morris, D. Crampton
We report the first detection of emission line gas within the host galaxies of high redshift QSOs. This was done using narrow-band imaging at the redshifted wavelengths of [O III]…
Weak lensing study of low mass galaxy groups: implications for Omega_m
H. Hoekstra, M. Franx, K. Kuijken +8
We report on the first measurement of the average mass and mass-to-light ratio of galaxy groups by analysing the weak lensing signal induced by these systems. The groups, which hav…
On the Hidden Nuclear Starburst in Arp 220
Yasuhiro Shioya, Neil Trentham, Yoshiaki Taniguchi
We construct a starburst model for the hidden starbursts in Arp 220 based on the new Starburst99 models of Leitherer et al. Comparing these stellar population synthesis models with…
The brightness of SN 1991T and the uniformity of decline-rate and colour corrected absolute magnitudes of supernovae Ia
T. Richtler, J. B. Jensen, J. Tonry +2
We present a distance to NGC 4527, the host galaxy of the type Ia SN 1991T, measured by surface brightness fluctuations. This supernova has been labelled ``peculiar'' both on the g…
The Metallicity of 0.5<z<1 Field Galaxies
C. M. Carollo, S. J. Lilly
We have measured the emission line ratios in a sample of 34 CFRS star-forming galaxies with redshifts between 0.5 < z < 1.0, and computed their metallicities by means of the empiri…
The Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Hubble Constant
Joseph B. Jensen, John L. Tonry, Rodger I. Thompson +5
We measured infrared surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distances to an isotropically-distributed sample of 16 distant galaxies with redshifts reaching 10,000 km/s using the near…
The SBF Survey of Galaxy Distances. IV. SBF Magnitudes, Colors, and Distances
John L. Tonry, Alan Dressler, John P. Blakeslee +5
We report data for band Surface Brightness Fluctuation (SBF) magnitudes, V-I colors, and distance moduli for 300 galaxies. The Survey contains E, S0 and early-type spiral galax…
From the Top to the Bottom of the Main Sequence: A Complete Mass Function of the Young Open Cluster M35
D. Barrado y Navascués, John R. Stauffer, Jerome Bouvier +1
We present very deep and accurate photometry of the open cluster M35 (VRIc filters). We have covered a region of 27.5x27.5 square arcmin. The data range from Ic=12.5 to 23.5 mag, a…
Where is the [O III]4363 emitting region in active galactic nuclei?
Tohru Nagao, Takashi Murayama, Yoshiaki Taniguchi
The emission-line flux ratio of [O III]4363/[O III]5007 (R_OIII)is a useful diagnostic for the ionization mechanism and physical properties of emission-line regions in active galac…
LRG J0239-0134: A Ring Galaxy or a Pair of Superbubbles at z=1 ?
Yoshiaki Taniguchi, Takashi Murayama
The unusual morphology of LRG J02390134 at =1.062 has been interpreted as a ring galaxy. Here we propose an alternative idea that the ring-like morphology is attributed to a…
The nature of the bright submillimeter galaxy population: a radio pre-selected sample with I>25
S. C. Chapman, E. Richards, G. Lewis +2
Deep submillimetre surveys have successfully detected distant, star-forming galaxies, enshrouded in vast quantities of dust and which emit most of their energy at far infrared wave…
An ionizing UV background dominated by massive stars
Martin G. Haehnelt, Piero Madau, Rolf P. Kudritzki +1
We discuss implications of a stellar-dominated UV background at high redshifts. The composite spectrum of 29 LBGs evaluated by Steidel etal (2000) at <z>=3.4 can be well fit by a s…
Radial and Transverse Velocities of Nearby Galaxies
P. J. E. Peebles, S. D. Phelps, Edward. J. Shaya +1
Analysis of the peculiar velocities of galaxies should take account of the uncertainties in both redshifts and distances. We show how this can be done by a numerical application of…
A Search for Jovian Planets around Hot White Dwarfs
Y. -H. Chu, B. C. Dunne, R. A. Gruendl +1
Current searches for extrasolar planets have concentrated on observing the reflex Doppler shift of solar-type stars. Little is known, however, about planetary systems around non-so…
Detection of arcs in Saturn's F ring during the 1995 Sun ring-plane crossing
S. Charnoz, A. Brahic, C. Ferrari +3
Observations of the November 1995 Sun crossing of the Saturn's ring-plane made with the 3.6m CFH telescope, using the UHAO adaptive optics system, are presented here. We report the…
Probing the Substellar Regime with SIRTF
Eduardo L. Martin, Wolfgang Brandner, David Jewitt +4
One of the main scientific drivers of the Space InfraRed Telescope Facility (SIRTF) is the search for brown dwarfs and extrasolar superplanets. We discuss observational strategies…
The Peak Brightness and Spatial Distribution of AGB Stars Near the Nucleus of M32
