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…
Determining the extragalactic extinction law with SALT
Ido Finkelman, Noah Brosch, Alexei Y. Kniazev +7
We present CCD imaging observations of early-type galaxies with dark lanes obtained with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) during its performance-verification phase. We d…
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…
Adaptive optics imaging and optical spectroscopy of a multiple merger in a luminous infrared galaxy
P. Vaisanen, S. Mattila, A. Kniazev +16
(abridged) We present near-infrared (NIR) adaptive optics imaging obtained with VLT/NACO and optical spectroscopy from the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) of a luminous inf…
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…
