The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) is an SDSS-III survey that is obtaining high resolution near-IR (H band) spectra of 100,000...
Optical ID of CXOM31 J004253.1+411422, a bright Black Hole X-ray Nova in M31
We report the likely optical ID of the bright transient recently discovered in M31, CXOM31 J004253.1+411422 (Henze et al, ATEL #2356). With a peak X-ray...
Optical Imaging of 57 spiral galaxies (Knapen+ 2004)
All B, R, I and Hα images described in the paper are presented electronically, along with the Ks images from Paper I (Knapen et al., 2003MNRAS.344..527K). The...
Optical Imaging of Serendipitous Chandra Field Sources in the Galactic Plane
Chandra X-ray Observatory has unprecedented spatial resolution and sensitivity. Its 0.5 arcsec on-axis PSF provides for the first time an angular resolution...
The authors have used HST/WFPC2 to observe the optical jet of the two extragalactic radio sources PKS 0521-365 (z = 0.055) and 3C 371 (z = 0.050). For PKS 0521...
Optical Linear Polarization in the Case of Two Supernovae Associated to X-ray Flashes: XRF060218/SN2006aj and XRF080109/SN2008D
We present the polarization monitoring carried out for two SNe associated with GRBs: XRF060218/SN2006aj and XRF080109/SN2008D. For XRF060218/SN2006aj we...
We present results from a project focused on searching optical microvariabilty (also known as ``intra-night'' variability) in type 2 - obscured - quasars...
Optical Multi-Band Analyses of Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies
We are currently analysing image data for a large sample of blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs), obtained in multiple optical broad- and narrow-band filters. We...
Optical observations of GRB 060218/SN 2006aj and its host galaxy
The supernova SN 2006aj associated with GRB 060218 is the second-closest GRB-SN observed to date (z=0.033) and is the clearest example of a SN associated with a...
