Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxy Candidates in the M81 Group: Signatures of Group Accretion

Eric F. Bell, Adam Smercina, Paul A. Price +8

The faint and ultrafaint dwarf galaxies in the Local Group form the observational bedrock upon which our understanding of small-scale cosmology rests. In order to understand whethe…

Warp diffusion in accretion discs: a numerical investigation

Giuseppe Lodato, J. E. Pringle

In this paper we explore numerically the evolution of a warped accretion disc. Here, we focus here on the regime where the warp evolves diffusively. By comparing the numerical resu…

Three Years of Mira Variable CCD Photometry: What Has Been Learned?

D. E. Mais, D. Richards, R. E. Stencel

The subject of micro-variability among Mira stars has received increased attention since DeLaverny et al. (1998) reported short-term brightness variations in 15 percent of the 250…

The mass function of high redshift seed black holes

Giuseppe Lodato, Priyamvada Natarajan

In this paper we derive the mass function of seed black holes that result from the central mass concentrated via disc accretion in collapsed haloes at redshift . Using…

X-ray Spectroscopic Evidence for Intermediate Mass Black Holes: Cool Accretion Disks in Two Ultra--Luminous X-ray Sources

J. M. Miller, G. Fabbiano, M. C. Miller +1

We have analyzed an XMM-Newton observation of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 1313, which contains two "ultra-luminous" X-ray (ULX) sources. We measure isotropic luminosities of L_X =…

Optical observations of a newly identified compact galaxy group near the Zone of Avoidance

Sonia Temporin, Stefano Ciroi

We have identified a new group of galaxies, CG J0247+44.9, at low Galactic latitude (l=143.64 deg, b=-13.29 deg), which satisfies Hickson's criteria (Hickson 1997) for Compact Grou…
