Clustering Properties of restframe UV selected galaxies I: the correlation length derived from GALEX data in the local Universe

Bruno Milliard, Sebastien Heinis, Jeremy Blaizot +25

We present the first measurements of the angular correlation function of galaxies selected in the far (1530 A) and near (2310 A) Ultraviolet from the GALEX survey fields overlappin…

KH15D: a star eclipsed by a large scale dusty vortex?

P. Barge, M. Viton

We propose that the large photometric variations of KH15D are due to an eclipsing swarm of solid particles trapped in giant gaseous vortex rotating at \~0.2 AU from the star. The e…

2D analytical modeling of distortion and sky background in multi-fiber spectrographs: the case of the Norris spectrograph at Palomar Mountain

Maurice Viton, Bruno Milliard

A method for optimal reduction of data taken with multi-fiber spectrographs is described, based on global correction of their geometrical distortion. Though it was specifically dev…
