Extremely massive young clusters in NGC1365

E. Galliano, D. Alloin, E. Pantin +5

In a previous work, three bright MIR/radio sources were discovered in the nuclear region of NGC1365. We here confirm that these sources are young and massive ``embedded'' clusters,…

The XMM-LSS survey: the Class 1 cluster sample over the initial 5 square degrees and its cosmological modelling

F. Pacaud, M. Pierre, C. Adami +30

We present a sample of 29 galaxy clusters from the XMM-LSS survey over an area of some 5deg2 out to a redshift of z=1.05. The sample clusters, which represent about half of the X-r…

The XMM-LSS survey. Survey design and first results

M. Pierre, I. Valtchanov, B. Altieri +36

We have designed a medium deep large area X-ray survey with XMM - the XMM Large Scale Structure survey, XMM-LSS - with the scope of extending the cosmological tests attempted using…

Revisiting the location and environment of the central engine in NGC1068

E. Galliano, D. Alloin, G. L. Granato +1

We revisit in this paper the location of the various components observed in the AGN of NGC1068. Discrepancies between previously published studies are explained, and a new measurem…

LBQS 1429-0053: a binary quasar rather than a lensed quasar

C. Faure, D. Alloin, S. Gras +3

Very deep ESO/VLT FORS1 and ISAAC images, as well as HST NICMOS2 data are used to infer the nature of the quasar pair LBQS 1429-0053 A and B, either a binary quasar or a doubly-ima…

On-axis spatially resolved spectroscopy of low redshift quasar host galaxies: HE 1503+0228 at z=0.135

F. Courbin, G. Letawe, P. Magain +8

We present the first result of a comprehensive spectroscopic study of quasar host galaxies. On-axis, spatially resolved spectra of low redshift quasars have been obtained with FORS…
