The performance of the blue prime focus Large Binocular Camera at the Large Binocular Telescope
E. Giallongo, R. Ragazzoni, A. Grazian +23
We present the characteristics and some early scientific results of the first instrument at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), the Large Binocular Camera (LBC). Each LBT telescop…
A near-ultraviolet view of the Inner Region of M31 with the Large Binocular Telescope
G. Beccari, M. Bellazzini, G. Clementini +27
We present a 900 sec, wide-field U image of the inner region of the Andromeda galaxy obtained during the commissioning of the blue channel of the Large Binocular Camera mounted on…
JHK Observations of Faint Standard Stars in the Mauna Kea Near-Infrared Photometric System
S. K. Leggett, M. J. Currie, W. P. Varricatt +10
JHK photometry in the Mauna Kea Observatory (MKO) near-IR system is presented for 115 stars. Of these, 79 are UKIRT standards and 42 are LCO standards. The average brightness is 11…
Rest-frame optical continua of L ~ L*, z>3 quasars: probing the faint end of the high z quasar luminosity function
Olga P. Kuhn
Near-IR photometry for 20 radio-loud z>3 quasars, 16 of which are radio- selected, are presented. These data sample the rest-frame optical/UV continuum, which is commonly interpret…
L' and M' Standard Stars for the Mauna Kea Observatories Near-Infrared System
S. K. Leggett, T. G. Hawarden, M. J. Currie +7
We present L'and M' photometry, obtained at UKIRT using the Mauna Kea Observatories Near-IR filter set, for 46 and 31 standard stars, respectively. The L' standards include 25 from…
A search for signatures of quasar evolution: Comparison of the shapes of the rest-frame optical/UV continua of quasars at z>3 and z~0.1
Olga Kuhn, Martin Elvis, Jill Bechtold +1
For 15 bright (V<17.5), high redshift (z>3) quasars, we have obtained IR spectra and photometry, and optical spectrophotometry and photometry, which we use to construct their rest-…
Optical Spectroscopy of the Central Regions of Bright Barred Spiral Galaxies
J. A. Garcia-Barreto, H. Aceves, O. Kuhn +3
Optical red spectra of a set of 18 bright barred spiral galaxies are presented. The study is aimed at determining the local kinematics, and the physical conditions of ionized gas i…
