The bright end of the luminosity function at z ~ 9
Context. We present additional constraints on the galaxy luminosity function at z ~ 9 based on observations carried out with ESO/VLT FORS2, HAWK-I, and X...
The bright galaxy population of five medium redshift clusters. I. Color-magnitude relation, blue fractions, and visual morphology
Aims: Using data from five clusters of galaxies within the redshift range 0.15 ≤ z ≤ 0.25, imaged with the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) in the central ≈1 Mpc2...
The bright galaxy population of five medium redshift clusters. II. Quantitative galaxy morphology
Aims: Following the study presented in our previous paper, based on the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) sample, which consists of five clusters of galaxies...
The bright optical afterglow of the long GRB 001007
We present optical follow up observations of the long GRB 001007 between 6.14 hours and ~468 days after the event. An unusually bright optical afterglow (OA)...
We report the identification of LSR J0745+2627 in the United Kingdom InfraRed Telescope Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area Survey (LAS) as a cool...
Context: The very young σ Orionis cluster (~3 Ma) is a cornerstone in understanding the formation of stars and substellar objects down to planetary masses...
The bulge luminosity functions in the MSX infrared bands
We use an inversion technique to derive the luminosity functions of the Galactic bulge from point source counts extracted from the Midcourse Space Experiment's...
The bulk of the cosmic infrared background resolved by ISOCAM
Deep extragalactic surveys with ISOCAM revealed the presence of a large density of faint mid-infrared (MIR) sources. We have computed the 15 mu m integrated...
The BVJK Lightcurves of the Shortperiod Eclipsing Binary Cg-Cygni
BVJK light curves of CG Cygni show an apparent infrared excess 0.2 mag out of eclipse, assuming the spectral types of the components to be G9.5V + K3V. The...
