Spectroscopy of Planetary Nebulae in Sextans A and Sextans B
Laura Magrini, Pierre Leisy, Romano L. M. Corradi +3
Sextans A and Sextans B are two dIr galaxies situated in the outskirts of the Local Group (LG), in which both PNe and H II regions have been detected (Jacoby & Lesser 1981, Magrini…
ce-61: a Tidal Dwarf Galaxy in the Hercules cluster?
W. van Driel, P. -A. Duc, P. Amram +9
A candidate Tidal Dwarf Galaxy, ce-61, was identified in the merger system IC 1182 in the Hercules supercluster. The multi-wavelength data we obtained so far do not prove, however,…
Faint companions in the close environment of star-forming dwarf galaxies: possible overlooked starburst triggers?
K. G. Noeske, J. Iglesias-Paramo, J. M. Vilchez +2
Using the NASA Extragalactic Database, we have searched the close environment of 98 star-forming dwarf galaxies (SFDGs) from field- and low density environments for companion galax…
Optical & NIR photometry of the interacting Dwarf Galaxies II Zw 70/II Zw 71
P. Papaderos, K. G. Noeske, L. M. Cairos +2
We obtained deep optical and NIR images of the pair of blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies II Zw 70 and II Zw 71 in order to study the effects of interaction on the structural proper…
The filament of ionized gas in the outskirt of M87
G. Gavazzi, A. Boselli, J. M. Vilchez +2
We report on the filament of ionized gas found at the NE periphery of M87, the second brightest elliptical galaxy in the Virgo cluster. The object lies at 3.16 arcmin (15.7 kpc) pr…
