Near-Infrared Mapping and Physical Properties of the Dwarf-Planet Ceres
Benoit Carry, Christophe Dumas, Marcello Fulchignoni +5
We study the physical characteristics (shape, dimensions, spin axis direction, albedo maps, mineralogy) of the dwarf-planet Ceres based on high-angular resolution near-infrared obs…
Origin of volatiles in the Main Belt
Olivier Mousis, Yann Alibert, Daniel Hestroffer +5
We propose a scenario for the formation of the Main Belt in which asteroids incorporated icy particles formed in the outer Solar Nebula. We calculate the composition of icy planete…
Old open clusters in the outer Galactic disk
Giovanni Carraro, Douglas Geisler, Sandro Villanova +2
The outer parts of the Milky Way disk are believed to be one of the main arenas where the accretion of external material in the form of dwarf galaxies and subsequent formation of s…
Evidence for a Population of High-Redshift Submillimeter Galaxies from Interferometric Imaging
Joshua D. Younger, Giovanni G. Fazio, Jia-Sheng Huang +22
We have used the Submillimeter Array to image a flux limited sample of seven submillimeter galaxies, selected by the AzTEC camera on the JCMT at 1.1 mm, in the COSMOS field at 890u…
21-cm synthesis observations of VIRGOHI 21 - a possible dark galaxy in the Virgo Cluster
Robert Minchin, Jonathan Davies, Michael Disney +10
Many observations indicate that dark matter dominates the extra-galactic Universe, yet no totally dark structure of galactic proportions has ever been convincingly identified. Prev…
