Stellar dynamics observations of a double nucleus in M 83
N. Thatte, M. Tecza, R. Genzel
We report on the discovery of a double nucleus in M 83, based on measurements of the line of sight velocity distribution of stars observed at near infrared wavelengths with the VLT…
Optical follow-up of the REFLEX survey: a new perspective in cluster studies
L. T. Barone, E. Molinari, H. Boehringer +8
After the completion of the catalogue built with ESO key program (REFLEX), we are beginning to explore the multiband optical characteristics of a subsample of those clusters select…
The HST snapshot survey of the B2 sample of low luminosity radio-galaxies: a picture gallery
A. Capetti, H. R. de Ruiter, R. Fanti +3
A Hubble Space Telescope snapshot survey of the B2 sample of low luminosity radio galaxies has, at present, produced V and I images of 41 objects. Together with 16 images of B2 sou…
SNR0540-69 -the Crab twin- revisited: Chandra vs. HST
P. A. Caraveo, R. P. Mignani, A. De Luca +2
High resolution images of the Crab-like SNR SNR0540-69 have been recently obtained by the HRC, on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and by the FORS1 instrument, attached to ESO/…
HST as a reliable astrometric tool for pulsar astronomy: the cases of the Vela and Geminga pulsars
A. De Luca, R. P. Mignani, P. A. Caraveo
The quest for the distance of the Vela and Geminga pulsars yielded, so far, a set of four WFPC2 images for each object. The availability of couples of images taken at the same peri…
HST as a powerful astrometric tool for pulsar astronomy
R. P. Mignani, P. A. Caraveo, A. De Luca
Given their intrinsic faintness, isolated neutron stars represent an elusive target for optical astronomy. Up to date, an optical counterpart has been identified only for a very ti…
