Specific Star Formation Rates
Amanda E. Bauer, Niv Drory, Gary J. Hill
We present results from a study to determine how star formation contributes to galaxy growth since redshift z=1.5. Using galaxies from the MUnich Near-Infrared Cluster Survey (MUNI…
The TESIS project: revealing massive early-type galaxies at z>1
P. Saracco, M. Longhetti, P. Severgnini +8
We present the preliminary results of an on-going near-IR low resolution spectroscopic follow-up of a complete sample of 30 bright (K'<18.5) EROs selected over 360 arcmin^2 from th…
The Nuclear Disk in the Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4486A
John Kormendy, Karl Gebhardt, F. Duccio Macchetto +1
Many ellipticals contain nuclear disks of dust and gas. Some ellipticals contain nuclear disks of stars that are distinct from the rest of the galaxy. We show that the dwarf E2 gal…
Detailed optical studies of the galactic supersoft X-ray source QR And (RXJ0019.8+2156)
B. Deufel, H. Barwig, D. Simic +2
We present high-speed long term photometric observations from 1992 to 1996 (UBVRI), as well as recently obtained (1997) spectrophotometric and high resolution spectroscopic studies…
The MUNICs project -- a multicolor survey of distant galaxies
C. Mendes de Oliveira, N. Drory, U. Hopp +2
The MUNICS project is an ongoing imaging survey designed to cover 3 sq. degrees in V,R,I,J,K'. We describe here partial results of the project concerning the clustering properties…
