ISOPHOT Mapping Observations of Carbon Stars

Izumiura, H.; Hashimoto, O.

Mapping observations have been made toward five carbon stars in the far-infrared using ISOPHOT, an imaging photo-polarimeter on board the Infrared Space Observatory. Cold, very extended dust shells are clearly revealed in two of them. Y CVn is surrounded by a very extended, detached dust shell, which indicates a sudden decline of the mass-loss by …

ASOCAM Observations of CYG X-3: Search for a Hot Stellar Wind

Fender, R. P.; Ogley, R. N.; Burnell, S. J. Bell

Six CAM observations have been made in the 4 - 14 µm wavelength region to search for further evidence of emission from a hot stellar wind. Initial results suggest that the spectrum detected by Fender et al. using UKIRT extends into the wavelength region covered by ISOCAM. There is also evidence that the source is variable on timescales of ≈ 70 sec…

Blue Compact Galaxies at Redshifts Z=0.2-1.3

Guzmán, R.

We study the nature of faint blue compact galaxies (BCGs) at redshifts z ∼ 0.2 - 1.3 using Keck and HST. Despite being very luminous (L_B ∼ L^*), most distant BCGs have masses M ∼ 10¹⁰M_⊙, i.e., they are dwarf stellar systems. The majority of these galaxies have colors, sizes, surface brightnesses, luminosi…
