Applying full polarization A-Projection to very wide field of view instruments: An imager for LOFAR

C. Tasse, B. van der Tol, J. van Zwieten +2

The aimed high sensitivities and large fields of view of the new generation of interferometers impose to reach high dynamic range of order 1: to 1: in the case of…

Mode visibilities in rapidly rotating stars

D. R. Reese, V. Prat, C. Barban +2

Context: Mode identification is a crucial step to comparing observed frequencies with theoretical ones, but has proven to be difficult in rapidly rotating stars. Aims: To further c…

First stars XVI. STIS/HST abundances of heavy-elements in the uranium-rich star CS 31082-001

C. Siqueira Mello, M. Spite, B. Barbuy +14

Detailed abundances of the elements produced by r-process nucleosynthesis in various circumstances are our best observational clues to their origin, since the site(s) of r-element…

No evidence for a dependence of the mass size relation of early-type galaxies on environment in the local Universe

Marc Huertas-Company, Francesco Shankar, Simona Mei +4

The early--type galaxy (ETG) mass--size relation has been largely studied to understand how these galaxies have assembled their mass. One key observational result of the last years…

Three-dimensional hydrodynamical CO5BOLD model atmospheres of red giant stars II. Spectral line formation in the atmosphere of a giant located near the RGB tip

A. Kucinskas, M. Steffen, H. -G. Ludwig +6

We investigate the role of convection in the formation of atomic and molecular lines in the atmosphere of a red giant star. For this purpose we study the formation properties of sp…

The Formation of Large Galactic Disks Through The Hierarchical Scenario: Further consequences

Francois Hammer, Yanbin Yang, Hector Flores +1

Using the deepest and most complete observations of distant galaxies, we investigate the progenitors of present-day large spirals. Observations include spatially-resolved kinematic…
