A study of HI-selected galaxies in the Hercules cluster
J. Iglesias-Páramo, W. van Driel, P. -A. Duc +8
The present study is aimed at a sample of 22 galaxies detected in the blind VLA HI survey of the Hercules cluster by Dickey (1997), 18 of which were selected on an HI line width sm…
Are the hosts of Gamma-Ray Bursts sub-luminous and blue galaxies?
E. Le Floc'h, P. -A. Duc, I. F. Mirabel +11
We present K-band imaging observations of ten Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) host galaxies. We compare their observed and absolute K magnitudes as well as their R-K colours with those of ot…
VLT and HST Observations of the Host Galaxy of GRB990705
E. Le Floc'h, P. -A. Duc, I. F. Mirabel +6
We present VLT spectroscopic observations of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 990705 host galaxy and highlight the benefits provided by the prompt-phase features of GRBs to derive the redshif…
Near Infrared Observations of Galactic Black Hole Candidates
S. Chaty, I. F. Mirabel, P. Goldoni +4
We report on several European Southern Observatory (ESO) near-infrared (NIR) observational campaigns aimed at understanding the nature of galactic black hole candidates. Our result…
Hidden star-formation in the cluster of galaxies Abell 1689
P. -A. Duc, B. Poggianti, D. Fadda. D. Elbaz +5
At a redshift of 0.18, Abell 1689 is so far the most distant cluster of galaxies for which substantial mid-infrared (MIR) data have been published. We present here the follow-up op…
The first ISO ERO: a dusty quasar at z = 1.5
M. Pierre, C. Lidman, R. Hunstead +8
We report the discovery of an extremely red object (ERO) in a medium-deep ISOCAM extragalactic survey. The object is also a radio source. Subsequent VLT NIR spectroscopy revealed a…
