We present a complete analysis, which includes morphology, kinematics, stellar populations, and N-body simulations, of CGCG 480-022, the most distant (cz=14,317 km s-1) isolated galaxy studied so far in such detail. The results all support the hypothesis that this galaxy has suffered a major merger event with a companion of ~0.1 times its mass
Since the beginning of the ESPRESSO (Echelle SPectrograph for Rocky Exoplanets and Stable Spectroscopic Observations) project, it has been recognized that the expected challenging scientific results can be achieved only if an integrated view of the end-to-end operations is properly tackled. Hunting for rocky exoplanets and/or studying the possible
We report the discovery of 2 previously unseen X-ray sources detected in a 5ks Chandra/ACIS observation starting on 2008-09-01.32 UT as part of our ongoing Chandra/HST M31 transient program (see also ATel #1693 for more results from this observation). Due to the low count-rate, no spectral fitting was possible. The reported luminosities have been
We report on Chandra ACIS-S observations of five type I X-ray bursters with low persistent emission: SAX J1324.5-6313, SAX J1752.3-3128, SAX J1752.3-3128I, SAX J1324.5-6313V, and SAX J1818.7+1424. We designate candidate persistent sources for four X-ray bursters. All candidates are detected at a persistent luminosity level of 1032-33 erg s-1
We have detected two globular clusters in the nuclear region of M31 with both Chandra and HST. These detections allow us to register the Chandra and HST images and therefore determine relative positions to ~0.1''. This improved positional accuracy shows that (contrary to our earlier reports) neither CXOU J004244.2+411608 nor CXOU J004244.2+411609
As part of our ongoing Chandra/HST M31 transient program we report on a Chandra ACIS observation of M31 containing the new transient source reported by Pietsch et al. (2008, ATel #1674). A single 5ks observation was performed on 2008-09-01.32 UT. The Chandra coordinates for this source (subject to the boresight correction) are RA(J2000) 00:43:20
