The measurements reported were made during a flight to an altitude of 40 km, on Mar. 13, 1974. A polarizing Michelson interferometer cooled, by a liquid helium bath, to a temperature of 1.4 K was used in the measurements. One hour of useful time was achieved at float altitude. The fitted spectrum obtained is shown in a graph. The measured spectrum

The ring images presented here are part of a larger William Herschel Telescope (WHT) imaging survey (1999 and 2000) conducted to characterize the nuclear and circumnuclear morphology in nearby galaxies (Paper I, Knapen et al., 2006A&A...448..489K). (2 data files).

We estimate the current extinction-corrected Hα star formation rate (SFR) of the different morphological components that shape galaxies (bulges, bars, and disks). We use a multicomponent photometric decomposition based on Sloan Digital Sky Survey imaging to Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) datacubes for a

We present H I 21 cm observations of the grand design spiral galaxy NGC 4321, as obtained with the VLA. From our original data, we have obtained data cubes with resolutions ranging from 13" to 45". The H I is observed to break up into small condensations at high resolution. These condensations, with typical masses of 3.3±0.7 × 107 Msun, are not

Aims:We study the two-dimensional distribution and kinematics of the stellar and gaseous components in the centre of the blue compact dwarf galaxy He 2-10. The aim is to compare the kinematics of gas and stars in order to determine whether they are consistent with one another, or if stars and gas can be decoupled due to gravitational perturbations
