Spectral properties of galaxies in the Stromlo-APM redshift survey: clues on the local star-forming galaxies
Laurence Tresse, Steve J. Maddox, Jon Loveday
We analyse emission-line properties of the bj-selected Stromlo-APM spectra (<z> = 0.05). Because this is a representative sample, we can study the global spectral properties of the…
Measurement of the Hubble Constant Via Gravitational Lensing--- A Review of the Jodrell Bank ``Golden Lenses'' Workshop
Liliya L. R. Williams, Paul L. Schechter
Gravitational lensing is now widely and successfully used to study a range of astronomical phenomena, from individual objects, like galaxies and clusters, to the mass distribution…
Oxygen-rich Mira variables: near-infrared luminosity calibrations. Populations and period-luminosity relations
R. Alvarez, M-O. Mennessier, D. Barthes +2
HIPPARCOS astrometric and kinematical data of oxygen-rich Mira variables are used to calibrate absolute near-infrared magnitudes and kinematic parameters. Two sets of near-infrared…
GOHSS: a Fibre-fed Multiobject NIR Spectrograph for the Italian Galileo Telescope
R. Scaramella, E. Cascone, F. Cortecchia +6
We present the concept and preliminary design of the Galileo OH Subtracted Spectrograph [GOHSS], a multifibre NIR spectrograph for faint objects. The instrument represents a collab…
Detecting gamma-ray bursts from M31 with the wide field X-ray cameras on board BeppoSAX
Mateusz Ruszkowski, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers
Gamma-ray bursters emit a small fraction of their flux in X rays, and because X-ray detectors are often very sensitive they may probe the gamma-ray burst universe more deeply than…
