Lyα Absorption around Nearby Galaxies
We have used STIS aboard HST to search for Lyα absorption lines in the outer regions of eight nearby galaxies using background QSOs and AGN as probes. Lyα lines are detected within a few hundred km s−1 of the systemic velocity of the galaxy in all cases. We conclude that a background line of sight which passes within 26 − 200 h−1 kpc of a foreground galaxy is likely to intercept low column dens...
متن کاملTidal dwarf galaxies in the nearby Universe
We present a statistical observational study of the tidal dwarf (TD) population in the nearby Universe by exploiting a large, homogeneous catalogue of galaxy mergers compiled from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. 95% of TD-producing mergers involve two spiral progenitors (typically both in the blue cloud), while most remaining systems have at least one spiral progenitor. The fraction of TD-produci...
متن کاملSearch for Companions of Nearby Isolated Galaxies
The radial velocities are measured for 45 galaxies located in the neighborhoods of 29 likely isolated galaxies in a new catalog. We find that about 85% of these galaxies actually are well isolated objects. 4% of nearby galaxies with VLG < 3500 km/s are this kind of cosmic ”orphan”.
متن کاملVariable stars in nearby galaxies . ⋆ I . Search
The first results are presented of a four-year program dedicated to the CCD observations of Cepheids in the nearby galaxy IC 1613. The goal was to obtain good light curves for Fourier decomposition and to detect shorter period Cepheids. Since the program was carried out with a relatively small telescope, the Dutch 0.9 m at ESO-La Silla, the observations were performed without filter (white ligh...
متن کاملSearch for Ultraluminous X–ray Sources in Nearby Galaxies
The study of the X–ray emission from discrete sources in nearby galaxies began with the Einstein satellite . Soon after, ROSAT contributed with other important steps and drew the attention to those pointlike X–ray sources with high luminosities (10 − 10 erg/s) , while ASCA observations produced the first spectra and lightcurves , triggering a number of hypotheses about the nature of these ultra...
