Dark-Matter Content of Early-Type Galaxies with Planetary Nebulae
N. R. Napolitano, A. J. Romanowsky, L. Coccato +10
We examine the dark matter properties of nearby early-type galaxies using planetary nebulae (PNe) as mass probes. We have designed a specialised instrument, the Planetary Nebula Sp…
Formation History of Stars and Star Clusters in Nearby Galaxies
S. S. Larsen, M. D. Mora, J. P. Brodie +1
We present first results from an HST/ACS imaging survey of stars and star clusters in five nearby spiral galaxies. This contribution concentrates on NGC 1313, a highly distorted la…
The lack of binaries among hot horizontal branch stars: M80 and NGC5986
C. Moni Bidin, S. Moehler, G. Piotto +3
We present preliminary results of a our search for close (period P < 10 days) binary systems among hot (Teff > 20000 K) horizontal branch stars in globular clusters M80 and NGC5986…
Structure and scaling of the entropy in nearby galaxy clusters
G. W. Pratt, M. Arnaud, E. Pointecouteau
Using XMM-Newton observations, we investigate the scaling and structural properties of the ICM entropy in a sample of 10 nearby (z < 0.2) relaxed galaxy clusters in the temperature…
TIMMI2 and VLT-ISAAC Spectroscopy of Circumstellar Dust Disks - A Spatially Resolved 3.3 micron PAH Feature Around HD 100546
V. C. Geers, J. -C. Augereau, K. M. Pontoppidan +4
We present preliminary results of spectroscopic data obtained with the La Silla 3.6m TIMMI2 and the VLT-ISAAC instruments. We have obtained 23 TIMMI2 N-band and 18 Q-band spectra f…
Emission line galaxies at z = 6.5
Jaron Kurk, Andrea Cimatti, Sperello di Serego Alighieri +2
We are carrying out a search for Lyman alpha emitting galaxies at z = 6.5 employing slitless spectroscopy at the VLT. In our 43 square arcminute field we find three isolated single…
