A New Chemo-evolutionary Population Synthesis Model for Early-Type Galaxies. I. Theoretical Basis
We have developed a new stellar population synthesis model designed to study early-type galaxies. It provides optical and near-infrared colors, and line indices...
A peculiar galaxy appears at redshift 11: properties of a moderate-redshift interloper
In 2011 Laporte et al. reported a very high redshift galaxy candidate: a lensed J-band dropout (A2667-J1). J1 has a photometric redshift of z= 9.6-12, the...
A Petal of the Sunflower: Photometry of the Stellar Tidal Stream in the Halo of Messier 63 (NGC 5055)
We present deep surface photometry of a very faint, giant arc-loop feature in the halo of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 5055 (M63) that is consistent with being...
A photometric analysis of Abell 1689: two-dimensional multistructure decomposition, morphological classification and the Fundamental Plane
We present a photometric analysis of 65 galaxies in the rich cluster Abell 1689 at z = 0.183, using the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys...
A Photometric and Kinematic Study of the Stars and Interstellar Medium in the Central 2 Kiloparsecs of NGC 3379
Hubble Space Telescope images of NGC 3379 show that the V and I luminosity profiles in the inner 13" of this E1 galaxy are represented by two different...
Most of the known transiting extrasolar planets orbit slowly rotating F, G or K stars. In here we report on the detection of a transiting planet orbiting the...
