The exotic chemical composition of the Sagittarius dwarf Spheroidal galaxy
L. Sbordone, P. Bonifacio, R. Buonanno +3
The Sagittarius dwarf Spheroidal galaxy is the nearest neighbor of the Milky Way. Moving along a short period quasi-polar orbit within the Halo, it is being destroyed by the tidal…
Nuclear stellar discs in low-luminosity elliptical galaxies: NGC 4458 and NGC 4478
L. Morelli, C. Halliday, E. M. Corsini +7
We present the detection of nuclear stellar discs in the low-luminosity elliptical galaxies NGC 4458 and NGC 4478, which are known to host a kinematically-decoupled core. Using arc…
A Homogeneous Sample of Sub-DLAs I: Construction of the Sample and Chemical Abundance Measurements
M. Dessauges-Zavadsky, C. Peroux, T. -S. Kim +2
In this first paper of a series, we report on the use of quasar spectra obtained with the UVES high resolution spectrograph and available through the ESO VLT archive to build the f…
The XMM-Newton view of the radio-quiet neutron star 1E 1207.4-5209
A. De Luca, S. Mereghetti, P. A. Caraveo +3
We have observed the radio-quiet X-ray pulsar 1E 1207.4-5209 with the high throughput EPIC cameras onboard XMM-Newton. The spectrum of this peculiar source is characterized by two…
HST proper motion confirms the optical detection of PSR B1929+10
A. De Luca, R. P. Mignani, P. A. Caraveo +1
We have measured the proper motion of the candidate optical counterpart of the old, nearby pulsar PSR B1929+10, using a set of HST/STIS images collected in 2001, 7.2 years after th…
UVES observations of QSO 0000-2620: Molecular hydrogen abundance in the damped Ly-alpha system at z_abs = 3.3901
S. A. Levshakov, P. Molaro, M. Centurion +3
We have discovered molecular hydrogen in a fourth quasar damped Ly-alpha system (hereafter DLA). The UVES spectrograph on the 8.2m ESO Kueyen telescope has allowed the detection of…
