Supermassive Black Holes and Galaxy Morphology
F. Duccio Macchetto
This review addresses one of the important topics of current astrophysical research, namely the role that supermassive black holes play in shaping the morphology of their host gala…
A photometric and kinematic study of the stars and interstellar medium in the central two kpc of NGC 3379
Miriani G. Pastoriza, Claudia Winge, Fabricio Ferrari +2
HST images of NGC 3379 show that the V and I luminosity profiles in the inner 13 arcsec of this E1 galaxy are represented by two different components: a stellar bulge following a S…
A Search for Candidate Light Echoes: Photometry of Supernova Environments
F. R. Boffi, W. B. Sparks, F. D. Macchetto
Supernova (SN) light echoes could be a powerful tool for determining distances to galaxies geometrically, Sparks 1994. In this paper we present CCD photometry of the environments o…
The Extended Line Region of 3C 299
Carlos Feinstein, F. Duccio Macchetto, Andre R. Martel +2
We present results of HST observations of the radio galaxy 3C 299. The broad-band F702W (R) and F555W (V) images (WFPC2/PC) show an elliptical galaxy, with a comet-like structure e…
Cepheid Calibration of the Peak Brightness of SNe Ia -- IX. SN 1989B in NGC 3627
A. Saha, A. Sandage, G. A. Tammann +3
(Abridged) Repeated imaging observations have been made of NGC 3627 with the HST in 1997/98, over an interval of 58 days. Images were obtained on 12 epochs in the F555W band and on…
HST Snapshot Survey of 3CR Quasars: The Data
Matthew D. Lehnert, George K. Miley, William B. Sparks +6
We present images taken with the Wide Field Planetary Camera (WFPC-2) on the Hubble Space Telescope of 43 quasars selected from the 3CR radio catalog. The redshift range of the tar…
