Satellites of massive galaxies: the infalling pieces of the puzzle
Accretion of minor satellites has been postulated as the most likely mechanism to explain the significant size evolution of massive galaxies over cosmic time. A...
SAURON Observations of Sa Bulges: The Formation of a Kinematically Decoupled Core in NGC5953
We present results from our ongoing effort to understand the nature and evolution of nearby galaxies using the SAURON integral-field spectrograph. In this...
SAX J1711.6-3808: a faint X-ray transient harboring a black hole?
Thanks to dedicated X-ray monitoring observations of the Galactic bulge with the Wide Field Cameras on BeppoSAX, several tens of faint X-ray transients have...
We report the detection of a type I X-ray burst in a 9ksec-long RXTE-PCA observation of the neutron star transient SAX J1747.0-2853. The burst bolometric flux...
The neutron star transient SAX J1750.8-2900 has been in outburst since March 15th, 2008 (ATel #1425). The X-ray flux started to decay around mid May and fell...
