Scientific Potential of Enhancing the Integral-Field Spectrometer SPIFFI with a Large Detector and High Spectral Resolution
F. Eisenhauer, P. van der Werf, N. Thatte +4
SPIFFI is the near-infrared integral-field spectrometer for the VLT. Assisted by the SINFONI adaptive optics module, the instrument will be offered to the astronomical community in…
CROMOS: A cryogenic near-infrared, multi-object spectrometer for the VLT
R. Genzel, R. Hofmann, D. Tomono +5
We discuss a cryogenic, multi-object near-infrared spectrometer as a second generation instrument for the VLT. The spectrometer combines 20 to 40 independent integral eld units (IF…
Ultra-Luminous Infrared Mergers: Elliptical Galaxies in Formation?
R. Genzel, L. J. Tacconi, D. Rigopoulou +2
We report high quality near-infrared spectroscopy of 12 ultra-luminous infrared galaxy mergers (ULIRGs). Our new VLT and Keck data provide ~0.5" resolution, stellar and gas kinemat…
Adaptive Optics Integral Field Spectroscopy of the Young Stellar Objects in LkH_alpha 225
R. I. Davies, M. Tecza, L. W. Looney +5
Progress in understanding the embedded stars in LkHa225 has been hampered by their variability, making it hard to compare data taken at different times, and by the limited resoluti…
