The study of planetary nebulae (PNe) in the nearby post-merger elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 (Cen A) now has a history of nearly twenty years. As the nearest giant elliptical, it is a…
The mass distribution in early type disk galaxies
E. Noordermeer, J. M. van der Hulst, R. Sancisi +2
We are studying the mass distribution in a sample of 50 early type spiral galaxies, with morphological type betweens S0 and Sab and absolute magnitudes M_B between -18 and -22; the…
The Hot Phase in the Galactic Disk
Edward B. Jenkins, David V. Bowen, Kenneth R. Sembach +1
Spectra of about 150 early-type stars in the disk of the Milky Way recorded by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) reveal absorption features from interstellar O VI,…
Massive Datasets in Astronomy
Robert J. Brunner, S. George Djorgovski, Thomas A. Prince +1
Astronomy has a long history of acquiring, systematizing, and interpreting large quantities of data. Starting from the earliest sky atlases through the first major photographic sky…
ISO Mid-Infrared Spectra of Reflection Nebulae
K. I. Uchida, K. Sellgren, M. W. Werner +1
We present 5-15 micron imaging spectroscopy of the reflection nebulae vdB 17 (NGC 1333), vdB 59 (NGC 2068), vdB 101, vdB 111, vdB 133 and vdB 135, obtained with the infrared camera…
An Extremely Red r^{1/4} Galaxy in the Test Image of the Hubble Deep Field South
T. Treu, M. Stiavelli, A. R. Walker +14
We report the serendipitous discovery of an extremely red object in the Hubble Deep Field South (HDFS) Test NICMOS (Near Infrared Camera and Multi Object Spectrograph) field of vie…
