The Very Local Universe in X-rays
A. Ptak, E. Feigelson, Y. -H. Chu +25
While the exceptional sensitivity of Chandra and XMM-Newton has resulted in revolutionary studies of the Galactic neighborhood in the soft (<10 keV) X-ray band, there are many open…
A comparison of the s- and r-process element evolution in local dwarf spheroidal galaxies and in the Milky Way
Gustavo A. Lanfranchi, Francesca Matteucci, Gabriele Cescutti
We study the nucleosynthesis of several neutron capture elements (barium, europium, lanthanum, and yttrium) in local group dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies and in the Milky Way by…
Searching for Cool Core Clusters at High redshift
Joana S. Santos, Piero Rosati, Paolo Tozzi +3
We investigate the detection of Cool Cores (CCs) in the distant galaxy cluster population, with the purpose of measuring the CC fraction out to redshift 0.7 < z < 1.4. Using a samp…
The performance of the blue prime focus Large Binocular Camera at the Large Binocular Telescope
E. Giallongo, R. Ragazzoni, A. Grazian +23
We present the characteristics and some early scientific results of the first instrument at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), the Large Binocular Camera (LBC). Each LBT telescop…
An improved measurement of the flux distribution of the Ly-alpha forest in QSO absorption spectra: the effect of continuum fitting, metal contamination and noise properties
T. -S. Kim, J. S. Bolton, M. Viel +2
We have performed an extensive Voigt profile analysis of the neutral hydrogen (HI) and metal absorption present in a sample of 18 high resolution, high signal-to-noise QSO spectra…
The red and blue galaxy populations in the GOODS field: evidence for an excess of red dwarfs
S. Salimbeni, E. Giallongo, N. Menci +8
We study the evolution of the galaxy population up to z\sim3 as a function of its colour properties. In particular, luminosity functions and luminosity densities have been derived…
