Orbits of new Hipparcos binaries. I
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20041190 Bibcode: 2005A&A...433..591B

Weigelt, G.; Hofmann, K. -H.; Schertl, D. +4 more

We present first orbits for 6 new Hipparcos binaries. The orbits were determined from speckle interferometric measurements collected mainly at the6m BTAtelescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory in Zelenchuk. Three of the systems, HIP 11352, HIP 14075 and HIP 14230, have late G- or early K-type components, while HIP 14669 = GJ 125, HIP 106…

New insights in the FUV into the activity of the Herbig Ae star HD 163296
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20041446 Bibcode: 2005A&A...429..247D

Deleuil, M.; Bouret, J. -C.; Roberge, A. +6 more

We present an analysis of the FUSE spectra of HD 163296, a young isolated Herbig Ae star. The spectra in the far UV spectral range are dominated by strong emission lines of C III and O VI, which exhibit broad and complex asymmetric profiles with wings extending over more than 1000 km s-1. The H I Ly α and the C III em…

GaBoDS: the Garching-Bonn Deep Survey. III. Lyman-break galaxies in the Chandra Deep Field South
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20042544 Bibcode: 2005A&A...441..905H

Simon, P.; Schrabback, T.; Bomans, D. J. +10 more

We present first results of our search for high-redshift galaxies in deep CCD mosaic images. As a pilot study for a larger survey, very deep images of the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS), taken with WFI@MPG/ESO2.2m, are used to select large samples of 1070 U-band and 565 B-band dropouts with the Lyman-break method. The data of these Lyman-break ga…

Magnetic network dynamics: Activity level, feature size and anchoring depth
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20042414 Bibcode: 2005A&A...436.1075M

Meunier, N.

A large data set of MDI magnetograms is studied in order to analyze the global dynamics of magnetic structures from network to active regions. Two complementary techniques are used: feature tracking and correlation tracking. The very large data set allows the variation of their dynamics (angular rotation velocity and meridional circulation) to be …

The ISO-2MASS AGN survey: on the type-1 sources
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:200500152 Bibcode: 2005A&A...440L...5L

Cesarsky, C.; Siebenmorgen, R.; Haas, M. +9 more

We combined the ISOCAM Parallel Mode Survey at 6.7 µm (LW2 filter) with the Two Micron All Sky Survey in order to obtain a powerful tool to search for AGN independent of dust extinction. Using moderate colour criteria H-K>0.5 and K-LW2>2.7 we have selected a sample of 77 AGN candidates in an effective area of ~10 square degrees. By mea…

Absolute spectrophotometry of northern compact planetary nebulae
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20052666 Bibcode: 2005A&A...436..967W

Corradi, R. L. M.; Wright, S. A.; Perinotto, M.

We present medium-dispersion spectra and narrowband images of six northern compact planetary nebulae (PNe): BoBn 1, DdDm 1, IC 5117, M 1-5, M 1-71, and NGC 6833. From broad-slit spectra, total absolute fluxes and equivalent widths were…

Early signatures of large-scale field line opening. Multi-wavelength analysis of features connected with a "halo" CME event
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20041378 Bibcode: 2005A&A...434..329P

Vilmer, N.; Pohjolainen, S.; Khan, J. I. +1 more

A fast "halo"-type coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with a two-ribbon flare, GOES class M 1.3, was observed on February 8, 2000. Soft X-ray and EUV images revealed several loop ejections and one wave-like moving front that started from a remote location, away from the flare core region. A radio type-II burst was observed near the trajectory …

The widths of vacuum-ultraviolet spectral lines in the equatorial solar corona observed with CDS and SUMER
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20042460 Bibcode: 2005A&A...435..733W

Dwivedi, B. N.; Harrison, R. A.; Wilhelm, K. +3 more

Observations of the solar equatorial corona between heights of 36 Mm and 184 Mm above the limb obtained by the SOHO spectrometers CDS and SUMER in December 2003 are presented and discussed with special emphasis on the widths of the spectral lines Mg x at 62.50 nm, Al xi at 55.00 nm and 56.82 nm, Ca x at 55.78 nm, and Si xi at 58.09 nm. SUMER obser…

The disrupted molecular envelope of Frosty Leo
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20041482 Bibcode: 2005A&A...431..979C

Sahai, R.; Sánchez Contreras, C.; Alcolea, J. +2 more

We present maps of CO emission in the protoplanetary nebula Frosty Leo. Observations of the rotational transitions 12CO J=2{-}1 and 1 0 have been obtained with the IRAM interferometer and the OVRO array. The molecular envelope of Frosty Leo is found to be complex and compact; most of the gas extends ⪉6´´ and shows a structure that is ve…

Doyle, J. G.; Xia, L. D.; Banerjee, D. +2 more

Using time series data of spectral lines originating from a wide range of temperatures in the solar transition region, above a polar coronal hole, from SUMER (Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation) on SoHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory), we report on the detection of very long (≈170 min) periodic intensity fluctuations, above t…
