Stellar dynamics of blue compact galaxies. II. Further indications of a merger in ESO 338-IG04
Robert J. Cumming, Kambiz Fathi, Göran Östlin +5
Luminous blue compact galaxies, common at z~1 but now relatively rare, show disturbed kinematics in emission lines. As part of a programme to understand their formation and evoluti…
Star-gas decoupling and a non-rotating stellar core in He 2-10: Integral field spectroscopy with FLAMES/ARGUS
T. Marquart, K. Fathi, G. Östlin +3
We study the two-dimensional distribution and kinematics of the stellar and gaseous components in the centre of the blue compact dwarf galaxy, He 2-10. The aim is to compare the ki…
Supernova 2006aj and the associated X-Ray Flash 060218
J. Sollerman, A. O. Jaunsen, J. P. U. Fynbo +23
We have studied the afterglow of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) of February 18, 2006. This is a nearby long GRB, with a very low peak energy, and is therefore classified as an X-ray Fla…
3D spectroscopy with VLT/GIRAFFE - II: Are Luminous Compact Galaxies merger remnants ?
M. Puech, F. Hammer, H. Flores +2
Luminous Compact Galaxies are enigmatic sources by many aspects. They can reach the luminosity of the Milky Way within a radius of only a few kpc. They also represent one of the mo…
The dark matter halos of the bluest low surface brightness galaxies
E. Zackrisson, N. Bergvall, T. Marquart +1
We present BVI photometry and long-slit Halpha rotation curve data obtained with ESO VLT/FORS2 for six low surface brightness galaxies with extremely blue colours and very faint ce…
The starburst phenomenon from the optical/near-IR perspective
Nils Bergvall, Thomas Marquart, Göran Östlin +1
The optical/near-IR stellar continuum carries unique information about the stellar population in a galaxy, its mass function and star-formation history. Star-forming regions displa…
