The birthplace and age of the isolated neutron star RX J1856.5-3754
R. P. Mignani, D. Vande Putte, M. Cropper +6
X-ray observations unveiled various types of radio-silent Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs), phenomenologically very diverse, e.g. the Myr old X-ray Dim INS (XDINSs) and the kyr old ma…
A kinematic study of Open Clusters: implications for their origin
D. Vande Putte, T. P. Garnier, Ignacio Ferreras +2
The Galactic population of open clusters provides an insight into star formation in the Galaxy. The open cluster catalogue by Dias et al.(2002b) is a rich source of data, including…
Could the Galactic disk heating be due to Globular Cluster impacts?
D. Vande Putte, Mark Cropper, Ignacio Ferreras
So far, six mechanisms have been proposed to account for the Galactic disk heating. Of these, the most important appear to be a combination of scattering of stars by molecular clou…
Virtual Observatory studies of Planetary Nebulae
R. P. Mignani, F. Kerber, R. L. Smart +5
Starting from the Strasbourg ESO Catalogue (SEC) of Planetary Nebulae (PNe), the largest PNe compilation available with ~ 1500 objects, we undertook a comprehensive study of the wh…
Detecting the effect of Globular Cluster impacts on the disk of the Milky Way
D. Vande Putte, Mark Cropper
The crossing of the Galactic disk by a Globular Cluster could produce star formation due to gravitational focussing or compression of disk material. We report on simulations of the…
High-resolution FUSE and HST ultraviolet spectroscopy of the white dwarf central star of Sh 2-216
T. Rauch, M. Ziegler, K. Werner +5
LS V +4621 is the DAO-type central star of the planetary nebula Sh 2-216. We perform a comprehensive spectral analysis of high-resolution, high-S/N ultraviolet observations obtaine…
