چکیده

M85 OT2006-1 is the latest and most brilliant addition to the small group of known Luminous Red Novae (LRNe). An identifying characteristic of the previously detected events (M31 RV, V4332 Sgr & V838 Mon) was a spectral red-ward evolution connected with an emerging infrared component following the optical decay. Here we report on the discovery of a similar feature in Keck/NIRC and Spitzer photometry of M85 OT2006-1 six months post-eruption. We find that its 2.1−22 µm spectral energy distribution is best described by a black body with effective temperature T eff = 950 ± 150 K and bolometric luminosity L = 2.9 +260 −180 km s −1 , are remarkably similar to the properties of M31 RV 70 days after its eruption. Furthermore, we propose a search strategy for LRNe in the local Universe making use of the longevity of their infrared excess emission and discuss the expected number of events in the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey.

We present the first rest-frame ∼ 4µm detection of a Lyman break galaxy. The data were obtained using the 16µm imaging capability of the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph. The target object, J134026.44+634433.2, is an extremely luminous Lyman break galaxy at z=2.79 first identified in Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectra (Bentz, Osmer, & Weinberg 2004). The source is strongly detected with a flux of 0....

We present the GMRT 235 MHz images of three radio galaxies and 610 MHz images of two sources belonging to a complete sample of cD galaxies in rich and poor galaxy clusters. The analysis of the spectral properties confirms the presence of aged radio emission in two of the presented sources.
