Early-type galaxies in the near-infrared: 1.5-2.4\mum spectroscopy

M. Cesetti, V. D. Ivanov, L. Morelli +6

Near-infrared (hereafter NIR) data may provide complementary information to the traditional optical population synthesis analysis of unresolved stellar populations because the spec…

Obscured clusters. II. GLIMPSE-C02 - A new metal rich globular cluster in the Milky Way

R. Kurtev, V. D. Ivanov, J. Borissova +1

The estimated total number of Milky Way globulars is 160+-20. The question of whether there are any more undiscovered globular clusters in the Milky Way is particularly relevant wi…

Luminosity-Metallicity Relation for dIrr Galaxies in the Near-Infrared

Ivo Saviane, Valentin D. Ivanov, Enrico V. Held +4

(abridged) The present work is a first step to collect homogeneous abundances and near-infrared (NIR) luminosities for a sample of dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxies, located in nearb…

Optical monitoring of the z=4.40 quasar Q 2203+292

E. P. Ovcharov, P. L. Nedialkov, A. T. Valcheva +5

We report Cousins R-band monitoring of the high-redshift (z=4.40) radio quiet quasar Q 2203+292 from May 1999 to October 2007. The quasar shows maximum peak-to-peak light curve amp…
