The spin temperature of high-redshift damped Lyman- systems
N. Kanekar, J. X. Prochaska, A. Smette +10
We report results from a programme aimed at investigating the temperature of neutral gas in high-redshift damped Lyman- absorbers (DLAs). This involved (1) HI 21cm absorption st…
Super-luminous supernovae at redshifts of 2.05 and 3.90
Jeff Cooke, Mark Sullivan, Avishay Gal-Yam +6
A rare class of `super-luminous' supernovae that are about ten or more times more luminous at their peaks than other types of luminous supernovae has recently been found at low to…
[OII] emitters in the GOODS field at z~1.85: a homogeneous measure of evolving star formation
K. D. Bayliss, R. G. McMahon, B. P. Venemans +2
We present the results of a deep, near-infrared, narrow band imaging survey at a central wavelength of 1.062 microns (FWHM=0.01 microns) in the GOODS-South field using the ESO VLT…
Evidence for a Non-Uniform Initial Mass Function in the Local Universe
Gerhardt R. Meurer, O. I. Wong, J. H. Kim +21
Many results in modern astrophysics rest on the notion that the Initial Mass Function (IMF) is universal. Our observations of HI selected galaxies in the light of H-alpha and the f…
Discovery of an Unusual Dwarf Galaxy in the Outskirts of the Milky Way
M. J. Irwin, V. Belokurov, N. W. Evans +24
In this Letter, we announce the discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, Leo T, in the Local Group. It was found as a stellar overdensity in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SD…
Local Galaxies as Damped Ly-Alpha Analogs
M. A. Zwaan, J. M. van der Hulst, F. H. Briggs +2
We calculate in detail the expected properties of low redshift DLA systems under the assumption that they arise in the gaseous disks of galaxies like those in the z=0 population. A…
