The future of astronomy PhDs in France
S. Boissier
This contribution presents a poll undertaken at the beginning of 2012, and addressed to every doctor in astronomy who obtained his/her degree in France. Its goal is to motivate the…
Gas-Bearing Early-Type Dwarf Galaxies in Virgo: Evidence for Recent Accretion
Gregory Hallenbeck, Emmanouil Papastergis, Shan Huang +7
We investigate the dwarf (M_B> -16) galaxies in the Virgo cluster in the radio, optical, and ultraviolet regimes. Of the 365 galaxies in this sample, 80 have been detected in HI by…
The GALEX view of the Herschel Reference Survey - Ultraviolet structural properties of nearby galaxies
L. Cortese, S. Boissier, A. Boselli +7
We present GALEX far-ultraviolet (FUV) and near-ultraviolet (NUV) as well as SDSS g, r, i photometry and structural parameters for the Herschel Reference Survey, a magnitude-, volu…
Integral Field Spectroscopy and multi-wavelength imaging of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC5668: an unusual flattening in metallicity gradient
Raffaella Anna Marino, Armando Gil de Paz, Africa Castillo-Morales +7
We present the analysis of the full bi-dimensional optical spectral cube of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 5668, observed with the PPAK IFU at the Calar Alto observatory 3.5m telesco…
Stripped gas as fuel for newly formed HII regions in the encounter between VCC1249 and M49: a unified picture from NGVS and GUViCS
Fabrizio Arrigoni Battaia, Giuseppe Gavazzi, Michele Fumagalli +15
Context: We study the peculiar interacting galaxy system of VCC1249/M49 located in the core of the Virgo B subcluster. Owing to a recent interaction between the dwarf galaxy VCC124…
Estimating the Star Formation Rate at 1 kpc Scales in Nearby Galaxies
Adam K. Leroy, Frank Bigiel, W. J. G. de Blok +9
Using combinations of Hα, ultraviolet (UV), and infrared (IR) emission, we estimate the star formation rate (SFR) surface density, Σ_SFR, at 1 kpc resolution for 30 disk galaxies t…
