2MASS wide field extinction maps: II. The Ophiuchus and the Lupus cloud complexe
Marco Lombardi, Charles J. Lada, Joao Alves
We present an extinction map of a ~1,700 deg sq region that encloses the Ophiuchus, the Lupus, and the Pipe dark complexes using 42 million stars from the Two Micron All Sky Survey…
GRB 060605: multi-wavelength analysis of the first GRB observed using integral field spectroscopy
Patrizia Ferrero, Sylvio Klose, David Alexander Kann +16
The long and relatively faint gamma-ray burst GRB 060605 detected by \emph{Swift}/BAT lasted about 20 sec. Its afterglow could be observed with \emph{Swift}/XRT for nearly 1 day, w…
The Dynamical State fo the Starless Dense Core FeSt 1-457: A Pulsating Globule?
E. D. Aguti, C. J. Lada, E. A. Bergin +2
High resolution molecular line observations of CS, HCO+, C18O and N2H+ were obtained toward the starless globule FeSt 1-457 in order to investigate its kinematics and chemistry. Th…
VIMOS-VLT spectroscopy of the giant Ly-alpha nebulae associated with three z~2.5 radio galaxies
M. Villar-Martin, S. F. Sanchez, A. Humphrey +4
The morphological and spectroscopic properties of the giant (>60 kpc) Ly-alpha nebulae associated with three radio galaxies at z~2.5 (MRC 1558-003, MRC 2025-218 and MRC 0140-257) h…
An integral field spectroscopic survey for high redshift damped Lyman-alpha galaxies
L. Christensen, L. Wisotzki, M. M. Roth +3
We search for galaxy counterparts to damped Lyman-alpha absorbers (DLAs) at z>2 towards nine quasars, which have 14 DLAs and 8 sub-DLAs in their spectra. We use integral field spec…
HII Galaxies with 3D Spectroscopy
C. Kehrig, J. M. Vilchez, S. F. Sanchez +3
We present our ongoing work on integral field spectroscopy of three prototypical HII galaxies: IIZw70, IIZw71 and IZw18. The data are mainly used to study the ionized gas and stell…
