Study of the QSO HE0354-5500 with combined HST imaging and VLT spectroscopy . An example of a deconvolution-based method for probing the QSOs host galaxies characteristics
Bibcode: 2008MmSAI..79.1251L

Magain, P.; Courbin, F.; Hutsemékers, D. +2 more

The host galaxy of the QSO HE0354-5500 (M_B=-24.7, z=0.2674) is studied on the basis of high resolution HST optical images and spatially resolved VLT slit spectra. The morphology and dynamics of the host are described. The gas ionization and velocity are mapped as a function of the distance to the central QSO. Reflection or scattering of the QSO H…

This paper analyzes the simultaneous observations of the Flux Gate Magnetometer (FGM) and Plasma Electron and Current Experiment (PEACE) on Cluster Spacecraft, and the CUTLASS Finland radar between 11:00 and 11:40 UT on 11 February 2004. In this interval, the Cluster spacecraft array encountered the northern hemisphere high altitude cusp, and cros…

Ivanov, G. A.

The catalogue (astrometric and astrophysical parameters) of 555200 stars with high proper motions (more than 0.04″/year) was compiled on the basis of original definitions from the catalogues FONAK1.1, Hipparcos, Tycho-2, UCAC2, CMC (STAR 11), PPM, NPM1, NPM2, XZ80Q, Pul-3, Pul2, NLTT, GCVS, LHS, Lowell Proper Motion Service, and Bruce Proper Motio…

Environmental effects on the globular cluster blue straggler population: a statistical approach .
Bibcode: 2008MmSAI..79..613M

Moretti, A.; De Angeli, F.; Piotto, G.

Blue stragglers stars (BSS) constitute nowadays an ubiquitous population of objects whose origin involves both dynamical and stellar evolution. In this work we analyze the properties of a catalogue of BSS extracted from an homogeneous sample of 56 Galactic globular clusters observed with WFPC2/HST and described in \citet{pio02}. The goal of this s…

Dust envelopes of two S-type AGB stars
DOI: 10.1016/j.newast.2008.03.006 Bibcode: 2008NewA...13..593Y

Yang, Xiaohong

The ISO-SWS01 spectra of two S stars, IRAS 15492+4837 and IRAS19486+3247, have been investigated with the radiative transfer code DUSTY. For the two stars, the mass-loss rates determined from DUSTY are smaller than the values derived from CO emission, which might indicate that the mass-loss rates of the two stars was higher in the past. The ∼10 &m…

Electron anisotropies in the inner heliosphere
Bibcode: 2008ICRC....1..429N

Ferreira, S. E. S.; Potgieter, M. S.; Nkosi, G. S.

The COSPIN/KET experiment on board the Ulysses spacecraft has been observing the flux of 3-30 MeV and also higher energy electrons in the inner heliosphere (radial distances > 5.2 AU) since its launch in 1990. These observations have indicated the presence of low-energy electrons with a strong anisotropy off the equatorial plane as far as 2.2 A…

Testing the local spacetime dynamics by heliospheric radiocommunication methods
DOI: 10.5194/angeo-26-727-2008 Bibcode: 2008AnGeo..26..727F

Siewert, M.; Fahr, H. -J.

According to general relativistic theories, cosmological spacetime is dynamic. This prediction is in excellent agreement with the huge majority of astronomical observations on large cosmic scales, especially the observations of cosmological redshifts of distant galaxies. However, on scales of heliospheric distances, verifications of general relati…

Large-scale disturbances preceding a fast halo CME
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20078575 Bibcode: 2008A&A...479..859Z

Zong, W. -G.

Aims:The nature of coronal waves, often termed “EIT waves” is still unclear. Therefore new efforts are needed to investigate large-scale disturbances during solar eruptions. In this paper, we present observations of an event occurring on 19 January 2005, and study the large-scale disturbance during the event in detail.
Methods: Using the high …

Mitigation of energetic electrons in the magnetosphere by amplified whistler wave under double cyclotron resonances
DOI: 10.5194/npg-15-773-2008 Bibcode: 2008NPGeo..15..773K

Kuo, S. P.

An optimal approach reducing the population of MeV electrons in the magnetosphere is presented. Under a double resonance condition, whistler wave is simultaneously in cyclotron resonance with keV and MeV electrons. The injected whistler waves is first amplified by the background keV electrons via loss-cone negative mass instability to become effec…
