K-band Spectroscopy of Clusters in NGC 4038/4039
Sabine Mengel, Matthew D. Lehnert, Niranjan Thatte +2
Integral field spectroscopy in the K-band (1.9-2.4um) was performed on four IR-bright star clusters and the two nuclei in NGC 4038/4039 (``The Antennae''). Two of the clusters are…
The Nuclear Star Cluster of the Milky Way: Star Formation, Dynamics and Central Black Hole
Reinhard Genzel
High spatial resolution, near-infrared imaging and spectroscopy of the nuclear star cluster have given key new insights about the dynamics, evolution and mass distribution in the M…
VLT-ISAAC near-IR Spectroscopy of ISO selected Hubble Deep Field South Galaxies
D. Rigopoulou, A. Franceschini, H. Aussel +9
We report the results of near-infrared VLT-ISAAC spectroscopy of a sample of 12 galaxies at z = 0.4-1.4, drawn from the ISOCAM survey of the Hubble Deep Field South. We find that t…
Massive star formation and evolution in starburst galaxies: mid-infrared spectroscopy with ISO-SWS
M. D. Thornley, N. M. Forster-Schreiber, D. Lutz +4
We present new ISO-SWS data for a sample of 27 starburst galaxies, and with these data examine the issues of formation and evolution of the most massive stars in starburst galaxies…
Realizing 3D Spectral Imaging in the Far-Infrared: FIFI LS
L. W. Looney, N. Geis, R. Genzel +6
We present a progress report on the design and construction of the Field-Imaging Far-Infrared Line Spectrometer (FIFI LS) for the SOFIA airborne observatory. The design of the inst…
Searching for AGN signatures in Mid-IR Spectra: The case of NGC1068
O. Laurent, I. F. Mirabel, V. Charmandaris +3
We present mid-IR observations of the prototypical Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 obtained with ISOCAM between 5 and 16micron. The proximity of this galaxy coupled with the spectro-imag…
The European Large Area ISO Survey I: Goals, Definition and Observation
Seb Oliver, the ELAIS consortium
We describe the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS). ELAIS was the largest single Open Time project conducted by ISO, mapping an area of 12 square degrees at 15mu with ISO-CAM a…
Extragalactic Results from the Infrared Space Observatory
Reinhard Genzel, Catherine J. Cesarsky
More than a decade ago the IRAS satellite opened the realm of external galaxies for studies in the 10 to 100 micron band and discovered emission from tens of thousands of normal an…
Infrared spectroscopy of NGC 1068: Probing the obscured ionizing AGN continuum
Tal Alexander, Dieter Lutz, Eckhard Sturm +3
The ISO-SWS 2.5-45 um infrared spectroscopic observations of the nucleus of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 (see companion paper) are combined with a compilation of UV to IR narrow e…
ISO-SWS spectroscopy of NGC 1068
D. Lutz, E. Sturm, R. Genzel +4
We present ISO-SWS spectroscopy of NGC 1068 for the wavelength range 2.4 to 45um, detecting a total of 36 emission lines. Most of the observed transitions are fine structure and re…
Near-Infrared-Spectroscopy with Extremely Large Telescopes: Integral-Field- versus Multi-Object-Instruments
F. Eisenhauer, M. Tecza, N. Thatte +3
Integral-field-spectroscopy and multi-object-spectroscopy provide the high multiplex gain required for efficient use of the upcoming generation of extremely large telescopes. We pr…
Stellar Dynamics and the implications on the merger evolution in NGC6240
M. Tecza, R. Genzel, L. J. Tacconi +3
We report near-infrared integral field spectroscopy of the luminous merging galaxy NGC 6240. Stellar velocities show that the two K-band peaks separated by 1.6arcsec are the centra…
NIR Spectroscopy with the VLT of a sample of ISO selected Hubble Deep Field South Galaxies
D. Rigopoulou, A. Franceschini, R. Genzel +6
A new population of faint galaxies characterized by an extremely high rate of evolution with redshift up to z~1.5 has recently been discovered by ISO. These sources are likely to c…
