Intergalactic Star Formation
Pierre-Alain Duc, Meederic Boquien, Jonathan Braine +3
Star formation in interacting systems may take place in various locations, from the dust--enshrouded core of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies to more unusual places such as the debr…
Tidal Dwarf Galaxies as Laboratories of Star Formation and Cosmology
Pierre-Alain Duc, Frederic Bournaud, Mederic Boquien
Star formation may take place in a variety of locations in interacting systems: in the dense core of mergers, in the shock regions at the interface of the colliding galaxies and ev…
GRB 050223: A dark GRB in a dusty starburst galaxy
L. J. Pellizza, P. -A. Duc, E. Le Floc'h +19
Aims: We aim at detecting and determining the properties of the host galaxy of the dark GRB 050223. Methods: We use VLT optical/NIR images coupled to Swift X-ray positioning, and o…
XMM-LSS discovery of a z=1.22 galaxy cluster
M. N. Bremer, I. Valtchanov, J. P. Willis +11
We present details of the discovery of XLSSJ022303.0-043622, a z=1.2 cluster of galaxies. This cluster was identified from its X-ray properties and selected as a z>1 candidate from…
From Tidal Dwarf Galaxies to Satellite Galaxies
F. Bournaud, P. -A. Duc
Cosmological models have granted dwarf galaxies a key role: their properties constrain the distribution of dark matter and the physical evolution of their hosts. There is increasin…
News from the "Dentist's Chair": Observations of AM 1353-272 with the VIMOS IFU
Peter M. Weilbacher, Pierre-Alain Duc
The galaxy pair AM 1353-272 nicknamed "The Dentist's Chair" shows two ~30 kpc long tidal tails. Previous observations using multi-slit masks showed that they host up to seven tidal…
