Excluding super-soft X-ray sources as progenitors for four Type Ia supernovae in the Large Magellanic Cloud
J. Kuuttila, M. Gilfanov, I. R. Seitenzahl +2
Type Ia supernovae are vital to our understanding of the Universe due to their use in measuring cosmological distances and their significance in enriching the interstellar medium w…
Discovery of a Damped Ly-alpha System in a Low-z Galaxy Group: Possible Evidence for Gas Inflow and Nuclear Star Formation
Sanchayeeta Borthakur, Emmanuel Momjian, Timothy M. Heckman +3
We present a low-redshift (z=0.029) Damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) system in the spectrum of a background Quasi-Stellar Object (QSO). The DLA is associated with an interacting galaxy pai…
Calibrating Interstellar Abundances using SNR Radiative Shocks
Michael A. Dopita, Ivo R. Seitenzahl, Ralph S. Sutherland +4
Using integral field data we extract the optical spectra of shocked interstellar clouds in Kepler's supernova remnant located in the inner regions of our Galaxy, as well as in the…
Raman-scattered laser guide star photons to monitor the scatter of astronomical telescope mirrors
F. P. A. Vogt, J. L. Álvarez, D. Bonaccini Calia +26
The first observations of laser guide star photons Raman-scattered by air molecules above the Very Large Telescope (VLT) were reported in June 2017. The initial detection came from…
fcmaker: automating the creation of ESO-compliant finding charts for Observing Blocks on p2
Frédéric P. A. Vogt
fcmaker is a python module that creates astronomical finding charts for Observing Blocks (OBs) on the p2 web server from the European Southern Observatory (ESO). It provides users…
Shocked Interstellar clouds and dust grain destruction in the LMC Supernova Remnant N132D
Michael A. Dopita, Frédéric P. A. Vogt, Ralph S. Sutherland +3
From integral field data we extract the optical spectra of 20 shocked clouds in the supernova remnant N132D in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Using self-consistent shock modelli…
Identification of the Central Compact Object in the young supernova remnant 1E0102.2-7219
F. P. A. Vogt, E. S. Bartlett, I. R. Seitenzahl +4
Oxygen-rich young supernova remnants are valuable objects for probing the outcome of nucleosynthetic processes in massive stars, as well as the physics of supernova explosions. Obs…
Integral Field Spectroscopy of Supernova Remnant 1E0102-7219 Reveals Fast-moving Hydrogen and Sulfur-rich Ejecta
Ivo R. Seitenzahl, Fredéric P. A. Vogt, Jason P. Terry +4
We study the optical emission from heavy element ejecta in the oxygen-rich young supernova remnant (SNR) 1E 0102.2-7219 (1E 0102) in the Small Magellanic Cloud. We have used the Mu…
