We have observed emission line objects located in a 0.26 deg2 field in the M 96 (Leo) group, coincident with the intergalactic HI cloud. The emission line objects were selected using the same procedure as used for the search for intracluster planetary nebulae in the Virgo cluster. 29 emission line objects were identified, with [OIII] filter

We present minor axis kinematic profiles for a well-studied sample of 19 early- to intermediate-type disk galaxies. We introduce, for the first time, the use of single-burst stellar population (SSP) models to obtain stellar velocities, velocity dispersions and higher order Gauss-Hermite moments (h3, h4) from galaxy spectra in the near-infrared Ca

Using deep near-infrared imaging of the Hubble Deep Field-South with the Infrared Spectrometer and Array Camera on the Very Large Telescope, we find six large disklike galaxies at redshifts z=1.4-3.0. The galaxies, selected in Ks (2.2 μm), are regular and surprisingly large in the near-infrared (rest-frame optical), with face-on effective radii re

The N = Z 44Ti* nucleus has been populated in Fusion Evaporation process at very high excitation energies and angular momenta using two entrance channels with different mass-asymmetry. The deformation effects in the rapidly rotating nuclei have been investigated through the energy distribution of the alpha-particle combined to statistical-model

New integral field optical fiber spectroscopy obtained with the INTEGRAL system, together with archival HST WFPC2 and NICMOS images, has been used to investigate the ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) IRAS 17208-0014, one of the coldest and most luminous objects in the IRAS 1 Jy sample. We have found that the optical nucleus is not coincident
