Microlensing Optical Depth of the COBE Bulge
N. Bissantz, P. Englmaier, J. Binney +1
We examine the left-right asymmetry in the cleaned COBE/DIRBE near-infrared data of the inner Galaxy and show (i) that the Galactic bar is probably not seen very nearly end-on, and…
Two modes of gas flow in a single barred galaxy
Peter Englmaier, Ortwin Gerhard
We investigate stationary gas flows in a fixed, rotating barred potential. The gas is assumed to be isothermal with an effective sound speed c_s, and the equations of motion are so…
The evidence for the long distance scale with H_0<65
Allan Sandage, G. A. Tammann
The status of the determination of the Hubble constant is reviewed, setting out the evidence for the long distance scale with H_0=55+/-5. In parallel, various precepts said to favo…
Focussing in on H_0
G. A. Tammann, M. Federspiel
Six independent methods yield a Virgo cluster modulus of (m-M)=31.66+/- 0.08. This inserted into the Hubble diagram of clusters, whose relative distances to the Virgo cluster are k…
Polarimetry of the Type Ia Supernova SN 1996X
Lifan Wang, J. Craig Wheeler, Peter Hoeflich
We present broad-band and spectropolarimetry of the Type Ia SN 1996X obtained on April 14, 1996 (UT), and broad-band polarimetry of SN 1996X on May 22,1996, when the supernova was…
Maximum Brightness and Post-Maximum Decline of Light Curves of SN~Ia: A Comparison of Theory and Observations
P. Höflich, A. Khokhlov, J. C. Wheeler +3
We compare the observed correlations between the maximum brightness, postmaximum decline rate and color at maximum light of Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) with model predictions. The o…
The photometric structure of the inner Galaxy
James Binney, Ortwin Gerhard, David Spergel
The light distribution in the inner few kiloparsecs of the Milky Way is recovered non-parametrically from a dust-corrected near-infrared COBE/DIRBE surface brightness map of the in…
Applicability Of The Hauser-Feshbach Approach For The Determination of Astrophysical Reaction Rates
T. Rauscher, F. -K. Thielemann, K. -L. Kratz
Nuclear Astrophysics requires the knowledge of reaction rates over a wide range of nuclei and temperatures. In recent calculations the nuclear level density - as an important ingre…
Neutron-induced nucleosynthesis
H. Oberhummer, H. Herndl, T. Rauscher +1
Neutron--induced nucleosynthesis plays an important role in astrophysical scenarios like in primordial nucleosynthesis in the early universe, in the s--process occurring in Red Gia…
A fresh look into pulsating PG1159 stars
Alfred Gautschy
To improve the understanding of the pulsational instabilities of some of the PG1159-type pre-white dwarfs we performed detailed stability analyses on helium star evolutionary model…
Dynamics of the Bar at the Galactic Centre
Ortwin Gerhard
The now substantial evidence for a rotating bar in the inner Galaxy and its dynamical implications are reviewed.
H_0 from HST
G. A. Tammann, L. Labhardt, M. Federspiel +4
HST has so far provided Cepheid distances to nine galaxies. Although not sufficient yet to determine the distance of the extended Virgo cluster, they are decisive for the distance…
The Nuclear Level Density and the Determination of Thermonuclear Rates for Astrophysics
T. Rauscher, F. -K. Thielemann, K. -L. Kratz
The prediction of cross sections for nuclei far off stability is crucial in the field of nuclear astrophysics. In recent calculations the nuclear level density -- as an important i…
