Description
Early-type galaxies are thought to be among the oldest known stellar systems, and as such have experienced the full diversity of evolutionary mechanisms at work in the universe. They are crucial laboratories for understanding how galaxies form and evolve from early epochs until the present day. A key aspect of unlocking their fossil evidence is by studying the dynamics of stars and gas, and characterising the stellar populations. To this end, the SAURON survey has undertaken a study of 72 representative nearby early-type galaxies and spiral bulges using the SAURON integral field spectrograph at the WHT. Follow-up survey is being continued with OASIS at the WHT, with the aim of completing all E/S0s of the SAURON survey by spring 2005. Here we give an overview of this follow-up survey, and future prospects for using OASIS in this field.

    Constraining the core-rotation rate along the red-giant evolution
    The evolution of the core rotation rate of red giant stars is a key parameter in understanding the stellar behavior in the late phases of stellar evolution. Thanks to the mixed-dipole modes, we can constrain the core rotation and internal rotational gradient as a star advances through the red-giant phase. This master thesis presents a pipeline

    Identification of Superclusters and their Properties in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
    Superclusters are the largest massive structures in the cosmic web on tens to hundreds of megaparsecs (Mpc) scales. They are the largest assembly of galaxy clusters in the Universe. Apart from a few detailed studies of such structures, their evolutionary mechanism is still an open question. In order to address and answer the relevant questions, a

    Rapid multiwavelength variability reveals jet emission in the black hole binary V404 Cygni in quiescence
    Spitzer Space Telescope observations of several quiescent black hole low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) have shown mid-infrared excesses above the emission of a companion star. The excess has been proposed to originate from either a relativistic jet or circumbinary disk. If the mid-IR originates in a jet, then it probes the region closest to the black
