Identifying stellar streams in the 1st RAVE public data release
Rainer Klement, Burkhard Fuchs, Hans-Walter Rix
We searched for and detected stellar streams or moving groups in the solar neighbourhood, using the data provided by the 1st RAVE public data release. This analysis is based on dis…
NICMOS Imaging of DRGs in the HDF-S: A Relation Between Star-Formation and Size at z ~ 2.5
Andrew W. Zirm, A. van der Wel, M. Franx +9
We present deep, high angular-resolution HST/NICMOS imaging in the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S), focusing on a subset of 14 Distant Red Galaxies (DRGs) at z ~ 2.5 galaxies that…
Palomar 5 and its tidal tails: New observational results
M. Odenkirchen, E. K. Grebel, W. Dehnen +4
Sloan Digital Sky Survey data for the field of the globular cluster Pal 5 reveal the existence of a long massive stream of tidal debris spanning an arc of 10 degrees on the sky. Pa…
The COMBO-17 Survey: Evolution of the Galaxy Luminosity Function from 25,000 Galaxies with 0.2<z<1.2
C. Wolf, K. Meisenheimer, H. -W. Rix +3
We present a detailed empirical assessment of how the galaxy luminosity function and stellar luminosity density evolves over the last half of the universe's age (0.2<z<1.2) for gal…
Deep BVR photometry of the Chandra Deep Field South from the COMBO-17 survey
C. Wolf, S. Dye, M. Kleinheinrich +3
We report on deep multi-color imaging (R_5-sigma = 26) of the Chandra Deep Field South, obtained with the Wide Field Imager (WFI) at the MPG/ESO 2.2 m telescope on La Silla as part…
Multi-color Classification in the Calar Alto Deep Imaging Survey
C. Wolf, K. Meisenheimer, H. -J. Röser +12
We use a multi-color classification method introduced by Wolf, Meisenheimer & Roeser (2000) to reliably identify stars, galaxies and quasars in the up to 16-dimensional color space…
The Host Galaxy of the Lensed Quasar Q 0957+561
C. R. Keeton, E. E. Falco, C. D. Impey +6
Infrared images of the Q 0957+561 gravitational lens obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope show two large (\sim 5 arcsec) lensed images of the z_s=1.41 quasar host galaxy. Parts…
The Quasar Pair Q 1634+267 A, B and the Binary QSO vs. Dark Lens Hypotheses
C. Y. Peng, C. D. Impey, E. E. Falco +6
Deep HST/NICMOS H (F160W) band observations of the z=1.96 quasar pair Q 1634+267A,B reveal no signs of a lens galaxy to a 1 sigma threshold of approximately 22.5 mag. The minimum l…
