New integral field optical fiber spectroscopy obtained with the INTEGRAL system, together with archival HST WFPC2 and NICMOS images, has been used to investigate the ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) IRAS 17208-0014, one of the coldest and most luminous objects in the IRAS 1 Jy sample. We have found that the optical nucleus is not coincident

Using deep near-infrared imaging of the Hubble Deep Field-South with the Infrared Spectrometer and Array Camera on the Very Large Telescope, we find six large disklike galaxies at redshifts z=1.4-3.0. The galaxies, selected in Ks (2.2 μm), are regular and surprisingly large in the near-infrared (rest-frame optical), with face-on effective radii re

The MAGIC telescope, with many technological innovations which allow the telescope to have a low energy threshold and a very fast slewing time, could be one of the first ground based experiments able to see transient phenomena like Gamma Ray Bursts. In this paper we present a study on the MAGIC telescope possibilities to observe GRBs, obtaining a

We present subarcsec near-infrared 1.5-2.5 μm moderate resolution long-slit spectra of eight nearby Seyfert galaxies (z 0.01), both parallel to the ionization cone and perpendicular to it. These spectra complement similar data on six Seyferts, presented in Reunanen, Kotilainen & Prieto, and are used to study the spatial extent of the line emission
