The presence of possible blends in the spectral region of the Li resonance line at 6708 Å in solar-type metal-rich stars is investigated using high resolution and high signal-to-noise spectroscopic observations. Our analysis does not confirm the identification of a weak absorption feature at 6708.025 Å with the low excitation Ti I line proposed by

We present subarcsec near-infrared 1.5-2.5 μm moderate resolution long-slit spectra of eight nearby Seyfert galaxies (z 0.01), both parallel to the ionization cone and perpendicular to it. These spectra complement similar data on six Seyferts, presented in Reunanen, Kotilainen & Prieto, and are used to study the spatial extent of the line emission

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
