HII galaxies as standard candles: evolutionary corrections
Jorge Melnick, Eduardo Telles
Over the past decade the relation between the Balmer-line luminosity of HII galaxies and the velocity width of the emission lines, the L - σ relation, has been painstakingly calibr…
Mapping the core of the Tarantula Nebula with VLT-MUSE: I. Spectral and nebular content around R136
N. Castro, P. A. Crowther, C. J. Evans +5
We introduce VLT-MUSE observations of the central 2 (3030 pc) of the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The observations provide an unprecedented sp…
Intergalactic stellar populations in intermediate redshift clusters
J. Melnick, E. Giraud, I. Toledo +2
A substantial fraction of the total stellar mass in rich clusters of galaxies resides in a diffuse intergalactic component usually referred to as the Intra-Cluster Light (ICL). The…
Diffuse Intracluster Light at Intermediate Redshifts: ICL observations in a X-ray cluster at z=0.29
I. Toledo, J. Melnick, F. Selman +3
The diffuse intracluster light (ICL) contains a significant fraction of the total stellar mass in clusters of galaxies, and contributes in roughly equal proportion as the hot intra…
Low-ionization galaxies and evolution in a pilot survey up to z = 1
E. Giraud, Q. -S. Gu, J. Melnick +4
We present galaxy spectroscopic data on a pencil beam of centered on the X-ray cluster RXJ0054.0-2823 at . We study the spectral evolution of galaxies…
The Dark Energy Equation of State using Alternative High-z Cosmic Tracers
M. Plionis, R. Terlevich, S. Basilakos +4
We propose to use alternative cosmic tracers to measure the dark energy equation of state and the matter content of the Universe [w(z) & Omega_m]. Our proposed method consists of t…
