Planetpol polarimetry of the exoplanet systems 55 Cnc and tau Boo
P. W. Lucas, J. H. Hough, J. A. Bailey +3
We present very sensitive polarimetry of 55 Cnc and tau Boo in an attempt to detect the partially polarised reflected light from the planets orbiting these two stars. 55 Cnc is orb…
Radiation from early black holes - I: effects on the neutral inter-galactic medium
E. Ripamonti, M. Mapelli, S. Zaroubi
In the pre-reionization Universe, the regions of the inter-galactic medium (IGM) which are far from luminous sources are the last to undergo reionization. Until then, they should b…
Star Formation at Zero and Very Low Metallicities
Jonathan C. Tan, Christopher F. McKee
We describe how star formation is expected to proceed in the early metal-free Universe, focusing on the very first generations of stars. We then discuss how the star formation proc…
The nature of the close magnetic white dwarf + probable brown dwarf binary SDSS J121209.31+013627.7
M. R. Burleigh, T. R. Marsh, B. T. Gansicke +16
Optical time series photometry of the short period magnetic white dwarf + probable brown dwarf binary SDSS 121209.31+013627.7 reveals pulse-like variability in all bands from i' to…
Galaxy orbits and the intracluster gas temperature in clusters
Latchezar Benatov, Ken Rines, Priyamvada Natarajan +2
In this paper we examine how well galaxies and intra-cluster gas trace the gravitational potential of clusters. Utilizing mass profiles derived from gravitational lensing and X-ray…
The structure of galactic disks: Studying late-type spiral galaxies using SDSS
M. Pohlen, I. Trujillo
Using imaging data from the SDSS survey, we present the g' and r' radial stellar light distribution of a complete sample of ~90 face-on to intermediate inclined, nearby, late-type…
