Improved non-LTE Balmer-line profiles for hot stars
Improved non-LTE line formation calculations for hydrogen in O-stars are presented. The calculations are carried out by means of the method recently developed...
The physics of infrared emission processes is examined, taking into account black body radiation, radiation from dust particles, thermal plasma emission...
Infrared Space Observatory Observations of IRAS 16594-4656: A New Proto-Planetary Nebula with a Strong 21 Micron Dust Feature
Based on ISO short-wavelength spectrograph (SWS)+long-wavelength spectrograph (LWS) observations, IRAS 16594-4656 is identified as a new member of the rare...
We present a study of 16 planetary nebulae (PNe) where fullerenes have been detected in their Spitzer Space Telescope spectra. This large sample of objects...
Integral field spectroscopy of the planetary nebula NGC 3242 and the puzzling nature of its low-ionization structures
Context. We investigate the physico-chemical properties of the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 3242 in both 1D and 2D, using integral field unit (IFU) data. This PN...
We present measurements of internal proper motions at more than 500 positions of NGC 2392, the Eskimo Nebula, based on images acquired with WFPC2 on board the...
We present internal proper motion measurements of more than five hundred positions of NGC 2392, based on images acquired with the WFPC2 on bord of the Hubble...
Intracluster light in the Virgo cluster: large scale distribution
Aims: The intracluster light (ICL) is a faint diffuse stellar component of clusters made of stars that are not bound to individual galaxies. We have carried out...
Intracluster Planetary Nebulae in Virgo: Photometric Selection, Spectroscopic Validation, and Cluster Depth
We have imaged an empty area of 34×34 arcmin2 1.5d north of the Virgo Cluster core to survey for intracluster planetary nebula (PN) candidates. We have...
