Optical properties of High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXB) in the Small Magellanic Cloud
M. J. Coe, R. H. D. Corbet, K. E. McGowan +6
The SMC represents an exciting opportunity to observe the direct results of tidal interactions on star birth. One of the best indicators of recent star birth activity is the presen…
Optical Follow-up of New SMC Wing Be/X-ray Binaries
M. P. E. Schurch, M. J. Coe, K. E. McGowan +4
We investigate the optical counterparts of recently discovered Be/X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud. In total four sources, SXP101, SXP700, SXP348 and SXP65.8 were detec…
The metallicity extremes of the Sagittarius dSph using SALT spectroscopy of PNe
A. Kniazev, A. Zijlstra, E. Grebel +10
In this work we present the first spectroscopic results obtained with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) telescope during its perfomance-verification phase. We find that t…
The polar ring galaxy AM1934-563 revisited
N. Brosch, A. Kniazev, D. Buckley +8
We report long-slit spectroscopic observations of the dust-lane polar-ring galaxy AM1934-563 obtained with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) during its performance-verifi…
SDSS J160043.6+074802.9: a very rapid sdO pulsator
P. A. Woudt, D. Kilkenny, E. Zietsman +12
We report the serendipitous discovery of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey star, SDSS J160043.6+074802.9 to be a very rapid pulsator. The variation is dominated by a frequency near 8380…
The NIR Upgrade to the SALT Robert Stobie Spectrograph
Andrew I. Sheinis, Marsha J. Wolf, Matthew A. Bershady +3
The near infrared (NIR) upgrade to the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS) on the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), RSS/NIR, extends the spectral coverage of all modes of the v…
