BaSeL: a library of synthetic spectra and colours for GAIA
E. Lastennet, T. Lejeune, E. Oblak +2
The BaseL Stellar Library (BaSeL) is a library of synthetic spectra which has already been used in various astrophysical applications (stellar clusters studies, characterization an…
Nucleosynthesis in Massive Stars With Improved Nuclear and Stellar Physics
T. Rauscher, A. Heger, R. D. Hoffman +1
We present the first calculations to follow the evolution of all stable nuclei and their radioactive progenitors in stellar models computed from the onset of central hydrogen burni…
Probability distribution of density fluctuations in the non-linear regime
J. Betancort-Rijo, M. Lopez-Corredoira
We present a general procedure for obtaining the present density fluctuation probability distribution given the statistics of the initial conditions. The main difficulties faced wi…
A standard stellar library for evolutionary synthesis. III. Metallicity calibration
P. Westera, T. Lejeune, R. Buser +2
We extend the colour calibration of the widely used BaSeL standard stellar library (Lejeune, Cuisinier, & Buser 1997, 1998) to non-solar metallicities, down to [Fe/H] ~ -2.0 dex. S…
Intracluster Planetary Nebulae in Virgo: Photometric selection, spectroscopic validation and cluster depth
M. Arnaboldi, J. A. L. Aguerri, N. R. Napolitano +6
We have imaged an empty area of 34'x34' one and a half degree north of the Virgo cluster core to survey for intracluster planetary nebula candidates. We have implemented and tested…
Mo()Mo scattering,the Mo-- optical potential, and the Ru()Mo reaction rate at astrophysically relevant energies
Zs. Fülöp, Gy. Gyürky, Z. Máté +9
The elastic scattering cross section ofMo(,)Mo has been measured at energies of 13, 16, and 19 MeV in a wide angular range. The real and…
Limits to Interstellar C_4 and C_5 Towards zeta Ophiuchi
John P. Maier, Gordon A. H. Walker, David A. Bohlender
We have made a sensitive search for the origin bands in the known electronic transitions of the linear carbon chains C_4 and C_5 at 3789 and 5109 A towards zeta Oph (A_V <= 1). The…
Spiral arms, bar shape and bulge microlensing in the Milky Way
Nicolai Bissantz, Ortwin Gerhard
A new model for the luminosity distribution in the inner Milky Way is found, using a non-parametric penalized maximum-likelihood algorithm to deproject a dereddened COBE/DIRBE L-ba…
Massive Star Evolution: Nucleosynthesis and Nuclear Reaction Rate Uncertainties
A. Heger, S. E. Woosley, T. Rauscher +2
We present a nucleosynthesis calculation of a 25 solar mass star of solar composition that includes all relevant isotopes up to polonium. In particular, all stable isotopes and nec…
Insights from Pulsating Nova Envelopes
Klaus Schenker
Based on a linear and non-linear study of radial pulsations in the envelopes of classical novae (Schenker 1999), I discuss the results both from the point of view of pulsation theo…
Detection, photometry and slitless radial velocities of 535 planetary nebulae in the flattened elliptical galaxy NGC 4697
R. H. Mendez, A. Riffeser, R. P. Kudritzki +5
We have detected 535 planetary nebulae (PNs) in NGC 4697, using the classic on-band, off-band filter technique with the Focal Reducer and Spectrograph (FORS) at the Cassegrain focu…
The effects of seeing on Sersic profiles. II. The Moffat PSF
I. Trujillo, A. Aguerri, J. Cepa +1
The effects of seeing on Sersic r^{1/n} profile parameters are extensively studied using a Moffat function. This analytical approximation to the point spread function (PSF) is show…
Cepheid Calibration of the Peak Brightness of SNe Ia. XI. SN 1998aq in NGC 3982
A. Saha, Allan Sandage, G. A. Tammann +4
Repeated imaging observations have been made of NGC 3982 with the Hubble Space Telescope between March and May 2000, over an interval of 53 days. Images were obtained on 12 epochs…
The dynamics of the dE galaxy FS76 : bridging the kinematic dichotomy between Es and dEs
S. De Rijcke, H. Dejonghe, W. W. Zeilinger +1
We present major and minor axis kinematics out to 2 half-light radii for the bright (M_B=-16.7) dwarf elliptical FS76, a member of the NGC5044 group. Its velocity dispersion is 46…
Implications of O and Mg abundances in metal-poor halo stars for stellar iron yields
D. Argast, M. Samland, F. -K. Thielemann +1
Inhomogeneous chemical evolution models of galaxies which try to reproduce the scatter seen in element-to-iron ratios of metal-poor halo stars are heavily dependent on theoretical…
New statistical goodness of fit techniques in noisy inhomogeneous inverse problems - With application to the recovering of the luminosity distribution of the Milky Way
Nicolai Bissantz, Axel Munk
The assumption that a parametric class of functions fits the data structure sufficiently well is common in fitting curves and surfaces to regression data. One then derives a parame…
Nuclear Aspects of the s- and n-Processes in Massive Stars
T. Rauscher, A. Heger, S. E. Woosley +1
In order to study the processes creating intermediate and heavy nuclei in massive stars it is necessary to provide neutron capture cross sections and reaction rates close to stabil…
