Double degenerates and progenitors of supernovae type Ia
R. Napiwotzki, L. Yungelson, G. Nelemans +12
We report on systematic radial velocity surveys for white dwarf - white dwarf binaries (double degenerates - DDs) including SPY (ESO Supernovae Ia progenitor survey) recently carri…
The Chemistry of Galaxy Clusters
Alvio Renzini
From X-ray observations of galaxy clusters one derives the mass of the intracluster medium along with its chemical composition. Optical/infrared observations are used to estimate t…
Inward Bound: Studying the Galactic Centre with NAOS/CONICA
T. Ott, R. Schoedel, R. Genzel +25
We report on the first results obtained using adaptive optics measurements of the Galactic Centre done with NAOS/CONICA.
Search for double degenerate progenitors of supernovae type Ia with SPY
R. Napiwotzki, H. Drechsel, U. Heber +13
We report on a large survey for double degenerate (DD) binaries as potential progenitors of type Ia supernovae with the UVES spectrograph at the ESO VLT (ESO SN Ia Progenitor surve…
Future Opportunities for Globular Cluster Astronomy at Ground Based Facilities
Alvio Renzini
In spite of great progress over the last years, especially thanks to HST, a number of exciting open problem still puzzle astronomers working on globular clusters in our o…
EROs and the formation epoch of field ellipticals
E. Daddi, A. Cimatti, A. Renzini
A comparison is presented between the observed surface density of extremely red objects (EROs) and the densities of red high-z elliptical galaxies predicted by Pure Luminosity Evol…
