AstraLux is the Lucky Imaging camera for the Calar Alto 2.2-m telescope and the 3.5-m NTT at La Silla. It allows nearly diffraction limited imaging in the SDSS i' and z' bands of o…
Galaxy Mass Growth in GDDS and SDSS
Karl Glazebrook, Erin Mentuch, Pat McCarthy +3
I present some new results related to our understanding of the masses of galaxies both in the local and high-redshift Universe. At high-redshift new Spitzer data on galaxies in the…
Ubiquitous outflows in DEEP2 spectra of star-forming galaxies at z=1.4
Benjamin J. Weiner, Alison L. Coil, Jason X. Prochaska +10
Galactic winds are a prime suspect for the metal enrichment of the intergalactic medium and may have a strong influence on the chemical evolution of galaxies and the nature of QSO…
Character and detectability of the dark ages and the epoch of reionization: the view from the simulations
Ilian T. Iliev, Garrelt Mellema, Ue-Li Pen +1
Direct detection of the Dark Ages and the Epoch of Reionization (EOR) is among the main scientific objectives of all current and future low-frequency radio facilities. In this pape…
Precision of diffuse 21-cm lensing
Tingting Lu, Ue-Li Pen
We study the limits of accuracy for weak lensing maps of dark matter using diffuse 21-cm radiation from the pre-reionization epoch using simulations. We improve on previous "optima…
The Luminosity Function of Low-Redshift Abell Galaxy Clusters
Wayne A. Barkhouse, H. K. C. Yee, Omar López-Cruz
We present the results from a survey of 57 low-redshift Abell galaxy clusters to study the radial dependence of the luminosity function (LF). The dynamical radius of each cluster,…
SNLS Spectroscopy: Testing for Evolution in Type Ia Supernovae
T. J. Bronder, I. M. Hook, P. Astier +19
Aims: We present a quantitative study of a new data set of high redshift Type Ia supernovae spectra, observed at the Gemini telescopes during the first 34 months of the Supernova L…
Supplementary Information for ``Rapid planetesimal formation in turbulent circumstellar discs''
Anders Johansen, Jeffrey S. Oishi, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +3
This document contains refereed supplementary information for the paper ``Rapid planetesimal formation in turbulent circumstellar discs''. It contains 15 sections (\S1.1 -- \S1.15)…
FSR1735 -- A new globular cluster candidate in the inner Galaxy
D. Froebrich, H. Meusinger, A. Scholz
We carry out a large program to classify newly discovered star clusters from Froebrich et al. (2006) in the inner Galaxy. Here, we present a first analysis of a new high-priority g…
Simultaneous X-ray, radio, near-infrared, and optical monitoring of Young Stellar Objects in the Coronet cluster
J. Forbrich, Th. Preibisch, K. M. Menten +11
Multi-wavelength (X-ray to radio) monitoring of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) can provide important information about physical processes at the stellar surface, in the stellar coron…
When do early-type galaxies form?
Roberto G. Abraham, Patrick J. McCarthy, Erin Mentuch +13
We have used the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys to measure the mass density function of morphologically selected early-type galaxies in the Gemini Deep Deep S…
The stellar mass content of distant galaxy groups
Michael L. Balogh, Dave Wilman, Robert D. E. Henderson +8
We have obtained near-infrared imaging of 58 galaxy groups, in the redshift range 0.1<z<0.6, from the William Herschel Telescope and from the Spitzer IRAC data archive. The groups…
The Link between Submillimetre Galaxies and Luminous Ellipticals: Near-Infrared IFU Spectroscopy of Submillimetre Galaxies
Mark Swinbank, ; Scott Chapman, Ian Smail +5
We present two-dimensional spectroscopy covering the rest-frame wavelengths of strong optical emission lines in six luminous submillimetre galaxies at z=1.3--2.5. Together with HST…
Fate of clumps in damped Ly systems
Ilian T. Iliev, Hiroyuki Hirashita, Andrea Ferrara
Recent observations have revealed that damped Ly clouds (DLAs) host star formation activity. In order to examine if such star formation activity can be triggered by ionization f…
On ion-ion correlation effects during stellar core collapse
A. Marek, H. -Th. Janka, R. Buras +2
The role of ion-ion correlations in suppressing neutrino-nucleus elastic scattering during stellar core collapse is reinvestigated, using two different equations of state. We test…
Detecting Clusters of Galaxies at High Redshift with the Spitzer Space Telescope
Gillian Wilson, Adam Muzzin, Mark Lacy +1
We present an infrared adaptation of the Cluster Red-Sequence method. We modify the two filter technique of Gladders & Yee (2000) to identify clusters based on their R-[3.6] color.…
On the mass distribution of neutron stars in HMXBs
A. van der Meer, L. Kaper, M. H. van Kerkwijk +1
We present the results of a monitoring campaign of three eclipsing high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs: SMC X-1, LMC X-4 and Cen X-3). High-resolution VLT/UVES spectra are used to meas…
