Baryonic Dark Matter: Limits from HST and ISO
Gerard Gilmore, IoA Cambridge, UK
Recent HST and ISO observations provide very severe limits on any compact baryonic contributions to galactic (dark) halos. When combined with Milky Way Galaxy microlensing results,…
Observational evidence for the accretion of low-metallicity gas onto the Milky Way; metallicity, physical conditions and distance limit for HVC complex C
B. P. Wakker, J. C. Howk, B. D. Savage +5
We present observations of the (field of the) Seyfert galaxy Mark290, which probes the high-velocity cloud (HVC) complex C, one of the largest HVCs. We find that this object has a…
Metallicity-dependent effective temperature determination for eclipsing binaries from synthetic uvby Stromgren photometry
E. Lastennet, T. Lejeune, P. Westera +1
Stromgren synthetic photometry from an empirically calibrated grid of stellar atmosphere models has been used to derive the effective temperature of each component of double lined…
Peculiar Motions and the Galaxy Density Field
C. Marinoni, G. Giuricin, B. Costantini +1
We use an all--sky, complete sample of nearby galaxies, extracted from the LEDA data base, to map the optical galaxy density field in the nearby universe. In order to determine thi…
The Lyman-alpha emission in local Star-Forming Galaxies: Scenario and Connection with Primeval Galaxies
D. Kunth, E. Terlevich, R. Terlevich +1
We review the Lyan alpha emission in local star-forming galaxies. In most cases as already shown by the IUE, the emission is absent or much weaker than expected. This occurs becaus…
