The TESIS project: Are type 2 QSO hidden in X-ray emitting EROs?
P. Severgnini, R. Della Ceca, V. Braito +8
Here we present the results obtained from the analysis of 75 ksec of XMM-Newton observations of a sample of EROs selected from one MUNICS field (K'<19.5 mag). We find 6 EROs with a…
The TESIS project: revealing massive early-type galaxies at z>1
P. Saracco, M. Longhetti, P. Severgnini +8
We present the preliminary results of an on-going near-IR low resolution spectroscopic follow-up of a complete sample of 30 bright (K'<18.5) EROs selected over 360 arcmin^2 from th…
The extraordinarily bright optical afterglow of GRB 991208 and its host galaxy
A. J. Castro-Tirado, V. V. Sokolov, J. Gorosabel +50
Observations of the extraordinarily bright optical afterglow (OA) of GRB 991208 started 2.1 d after the event. The flux decay constant of the OA in the R-band is -2.30 +/- 0.07 up…
The Munich Near-IR Cluster Survey (MUNICS)
N. Drory, U. Hopp, R. Bender +4
The Munich Near-IR Cluster Survey (MUNICS) is a K' selected survey covering 1 square degree in the K' and J NIR bands with complementary optical photometry in the V, R, and I bands…
