Monitoring of the optical and 2.5-11.7 micron spectrum and mid-IR imaging of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk279 with ISO
The AGN Watch collaboration, M. Santos-Lleo, J. Clavel +19
Mid-infrared images of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 279 obtained with the ISO satellite are presented together with the results of a one-year monitoring campaign of the 2.5-11.7 micron…
Microlensing Constraints on the Frequency of Jupiter Mass Planets
B. Scott Gaudi, M. D. Albrow, Jin H. An +17
Microlensing is the only technique likely, within the next 5 years, to constrain the frequency of Jupiter-analogs. The PLANET collaboration has monitored nearly 100 microlensing ev…
The PLANET microlensing follow-up network: Results and prospects for the detection of extra-solar planets
M. Dominik, M. D. Albrow, J. -P. Beaulieu +19
Among various techniques to search for extra-solar planets, microlensing has some unique characteristics. Contrary to all other methods which favour nearby objects, microlensing is…
Emission-Line Probes of Circumnuclear Dust in AGNs
Joseph C. Shields, Richard W. Pogge, Michael M. De Robertis
Emission lines that trace elements subject to strong depletion onto grains provide a means for probing the dust content of AGNs. Examples include infrared [FeII] and optical [CaII]…
Star Formation in Polar-Ring Galaxies
Paul B. Eskridge, Richard W. Pogge
Polar-ring galaxies are systems with two nearly orthogonal rotational axes, and are therefore clearly the result of galaxy-galaxy interactions. The host galaxies of polar rings are…
Star Formation and Abundances in S0 Galaxies
Richard W. Pogge, Paul B. Eskridge
A significant number of S0 galaxies with a detectable ISM show some level of on-going massive-star formation activity in the form of visible HII regions. A rich ISM, however, does…
