Infrared Spectroscopic Study of 8 Galactic Globular Clusters

Andrew W. Stephens, Jay A. Frogel

We have obtained medium-resolution infrared K band spectra of 44 giants in seven heavily reddened clusters in the Galactic bulge, as well as 12 giants in omega Centauri. We measure…

WFI J2026-4536 and WFI J2033-4723: Two New Quadruple Gravitational Lenses

Nicholas D. Morgan, John A. R. Caldwell, Paul L. Schechter +3

We report the discovery of two new gravitationally lensed quasars, WFI J2026-4536 and WFI J2033-4723, at respective source redshifts of z=2.23 and z=1.66. Both systems are quadrupl…

The Lack of Very Ultraluminous X-ray Sources in Early-type Galaxies

Jimmy A. Irwin, Joel N. Bregman, Alex E. Athey

We have searched for ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in a sample of 28 elliptical and S0 galaxies observed with Chandra. We find that the number of X-ray sources detected at a f…

The detailed Fundamental Plane of two high redshift clusters: MS 2053-04 at z=0.58 and MS 1054-03 at z=0.83

Stijn Wuyts, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Daniel D. Kelson +2

We study the fundamental plane relation in high redshift clusters using a sample of 26 galaxies in MS 2053-04 (z=0.583) and 22 galaxies in MS 1054-03 (z=0.83). The zeropoint and sc…

XMM-Newton Observations of the Ultraluminous Nuclear X-ray Source in M33

L. Foschini, J. Rodriguez, Y. Fuchs +5

We present observations with XMM-Newton of M33 X-8, the ultraluminous X-ray source (L_{0.5-10 keV} ~ 2x10^39 erg/s) closest to the centre of the galaxy. The best-fit model is simil…

The First Detailed X-ray Observations of High-Redshift, Optically-Selected Clusters: XMM-Newton Results for Cl 1324+3011 at z = 0.76 and Cl 1604+4304 at z = 0.90

Lori M. Lubin, John S. Mulchaey, Marc Postman

We present the first detailed X-ray observations of optically-selected clusters at high redshift. Two clusters, Cl 1324+3011 at z = 0.76 and Cl 1604+4304 at z = 0.90, were observed…
