WFILAS: Wide Field Imager Lyman Alpha Search
Eduard Westra, D. Heath Jones, Chris Lidman +6
The Wide Field Imager Lyman-Alpha Search (WFILAS) is a search for Lya emitting galaxies at z~5.7. Deep images from the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on the ESO/MPI 2.2m telescope have be…
The Wide Field Imager Lyman-Alpha Search (WFILAS) for Galaxies at Redshift ~5.7: I. A Spatially Compact Lyman-alpha Emitting Galaxy at Redshift 5.721
Eduard Westra, D. Heath Jones, Chris E. Lidman +6
We report the spectroscopic confirmation of a compact \lya emitting galaxy at . A FORS2 spectrum of the source shows a strong asymmetric line with a flux of 5$\times10^{-1…
The near-infrared view of SBS 0335-052
L. Vanzi, L. H. Hunt, T. X. Thuan +1
We present near-infrared (NIR) spectra, deep J, H and K low-resolution ima ges, and high-resolution images in J and Ks of the low-metallicity blue dwarf gal axy SBS 0335-052. These…
Near-infrared detection and optical follow-up of the GRB990705 afterglow
N. Masetti
Optical and near-infrared observations of the GRB990705 error box were carried out with ESO telescopes at La Silla and Paranal in Chile and with the NOAO SPIREX 0.6-meter telescope…
Optical observations of the black hole candidate XTE J1550-564 during the Sep/Oct 1998 outburst
C. Sanchez-Fernandez, A. J. Castro-Tirado, H. W. Duerbeck +11
We report here optical observations during the September/October 1998 outburst of the black hole candidate XTE J1550-564. CCD photometry was obtained for the optical counterpart wi…
GRB 990510: linearly polarized radiation from a fireball
S. Covino, D. Lazzati, G. Ghisellini +12
Models for gamma-ray burst afterglows envisage an hyper-relativistic fireball that is decelerated in the ambient medium around the explosion site. This interaction produces a shock…
