HD 60431, the CP2 star with the shortest rotational period Physical parameters and period analysis

Context. CP2 stars show periodic photometric, spectroscopic, and magnetic variations with the rotational period. They are generally slow rotators, with rotational periods exceeding half a day, except for the late B-type star HD 60431, which has an unusuall ...

Virgo filaments I. Processing of gas in cosmological filaments around the Virgo cluster

Pascale Jablonka, Gianluca Castignani

It is now well established that galaxies have different morphologies, gas contents, and star formation rates (SFR) in dense environments like galaxy clusters. The impact of environmental density extends to several virial radii, and galaxies appear to be pr ...

The Hidden Past of M92: Detection and Characterization of a Newly Formed 17 degrees Long Stellar Stream Using the Canada-France Imaging Survey

Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We present an analysis of the structure, kinematics, and orbit of a newly found stellar stream emanating from the globular cluster M92 (NGC 6341). This stream was discovered in an improved matched-filter map of the outer Galaxy, based on a "color-color-mag ...

Spectroscopic Orbits Of Three Dwarf Barium Stars

Pierre North

Barium stars are thought to result from binary evolution in systems wide enough to allow the more massive component to reach the asymptotic giant branch and eventually become a CO white dwarf. While Ba stars were initially known only among giant or subgian ...

Searching for multiple populations in the integrated light of the young and extremely massive clusters in the merger remnant NGC 7252

Carmela Lardo

Recent work has shown that the properties of multiple populations (MPs) within massive stellar clusters (i.e. in the extent of their abundance variations as well as the fraction of stars that show the anomalous chemistry) depend on the mass as well as the ...

Searching for globular cluster chemical anomalies on the main sequence of a young massive cluster

Carmela Lardo

The spectroscopic and photometric signals of the star-to-star abundance variations found in globular clusters seem to be correlated with global parameters like the cluster's metallicity, mass, and age. Understanding this behaviour could bring us closer to ...

Molecular gas and star formation activity in luminous infrared galaxies in clusters at intermediate redshifts

Pascale Jablonka, Gianluca Castignani, Mathilde Jauzac, Damien Louis Alexandre Spérone-Longin

We investigate the role of dense megaparsec-scale environments in processing molecular gas of cluster galaxies as they fall into the cluster cores. We selected a sample of similar to 20 luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) belonging to intermediate-redshift ...

Disappearance of the extended main sequence turn-off in intermediate age clusters as a consequence of magnetic braking

Tomás Alfredo Trewhela Palacios, Carmela Lardo

Context. Extended main sequence turn-offs are features commonly found in the colour-magnitude diagrams of young and intermediate age (less than about 2 Gyr) massive star clusters, where the main sequence turn-off is broader than can be explained by photome ...

Constant light element abundances suggest that the extended P1 in NGC 2808 is not a consequence of CNO-cycle nucleosynthesis

Carmela Lardo

Recent photometric results have identified a new population among globular cluster stars. This population, referred to as the 'extended P1', has been suggested to be the manifestation of a new abundance pattern where the initial mass fraction of He changes ...

Molecular gas in two companion cluster galaxies at z=1.2

Gianluca Castignani, Anand Stéphane Raichoor

Context. Probing both star formation history and evolution of distant cluster galaxies is essential to evaluate the effect of dense environment on shaping the galaxy properties we observe today. ...

Population gradient in the Sextans dSph: comprehensive mapping of a dwarf galaxy by Suprime-Cam

Pascale Jablonka

We present the deep and wide V and I-c photometry of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) taken by the Suprime-Cam imager on the Subaru Telescope, which extends out to the tidal radius. The colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) reaches two magnitudes below ...

Herschel-ATLAS: a binary HyLIRG pinpointing a cluster of starbursting protoellipticals

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hui Fu, Johan Richard

Panchromatic observations of the best candidate hyperluminous infrared galaxies from the widest Herschel extragalactic imaging survey have led to the discovery of at least four intrinsically luminous z = 2.41 galaxies across an approximate to 100 kpc regio ...

The colour-magnitude relation of elliptical and lenticular galaxies in the ESO Distant Cluster Survey

Pascale Jablonka

In this paper we study the colour-magnitude relation (CMR) for a sample of 172 morphologically classified elliptical and S0 cluster galaxies from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS) at 0.4 less than or similar to z less than or similar to 0.8. The intr ...

The Low-Mass Initial Mass Function In The 30 Doradus Starburst Cluster

Marilyne Andersen, Georges Meylan

We present deep Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS 2 F160W band observations of the central 56 '' x 57 '' (14 pc x 14.25 pc) region around R136 in the starburst cluster 30Dor (NGC 2070) located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Our aim is to derive the stellar ini ...

THE REST-FRAME OPTICAL LUMINOSITY FUNCTION OF CLUSTER GALAXIES AT z < 0.8 AND THE ASSEMBLY OF THE CLUSTER RED SEQUENCE

Pascale Jablonka, Anja Von der Linden

We present the rest-frame optical luminosity function (LF) of red-sequence galaxies in 16 clusters at 0.4 < z < 0.8 drawn from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS). We compare our clusters to an analogous sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) ...

An exploratory search for z greater than or similar to 6 quasars in the ukidss early data release

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

We conducted an exploratory search for quasars at z similar to 6-8, using the Early Data Release (EDR) from the United Kingdom Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) cross-matched to panoramic optical imagery. High-redshift quasar candidates are chosen using mu ...

Membership, binarity, and rotation of red dwarfs in the nearby open cluster Coma Berenices (Melotte 111)

Jean-Claude Mermilliod

Context. Although several attempts have been made to identify solar-type members on the main sequence of the nearby open cluster Coma Berenices (Mel 111), the population of the lower main sequence is still poorly known. ...
