Young massive stars and their environment in the mid-infrared at high angular resolution
W. J. de Wit, M. G. Hoare, R. D. Oudmaijer +2
We present interferometric and single-dish mid-infrared observations of a sample of massive young stellar objects (BN-type objects), using VLTI-MIDI (10 micron) and Subaru-COMICS (…
VLTI/MIDI 10 micron interferometry of the forming massive star W33A
W. J. de Wit, M. G. Hoare, R. D. Oudmaijer +1
We report on resolved interferometric observations with VLTI/MIDI of the massive young stellar object (MYSO) W33A. The MIDI observations deliver spectrally dispersed visibilities w…
VLT/ISAAC H-band spectroscopy of embedded massive YSOs
T. R. Kendall, W. J. de Wit, J. L. Yun
We have performed intermediate resolution (R = 5000), high signal-to-noise H-band spectroscopy of a small, initial sample of three massive embedded young stellar objects (YSOs), us…
Ongoing massive star formation in the bulge of M51
H. J. G. L. M. Lamers, N. Panagia, S. Scuderi +4
We studied the HST-WFPC2 observations of the inner kpc of the interacting galaxy M51 in six bands from 2550 to 8140 Angstrom. The images show an oval shaped area ("bulge") of 11x16…
The contribution of microlensing surveys to the distance scale
J. P. Beaulieu, W. J. de Wit
In the early nineties several teams started large scale systematic surveys of the Magellanic Clouds and the Galactic Bulge to search for microlensing effects. As a by product, thes…
