Distinctive rings in the 21 cm signal of the epoch of reionization

Context. It is predicted that sources emitting UV radiation in the Lyman band during the epoch of reionization show a series of discontinuities in their Ly alpha flux radial profile as a consequence of the thickness of the Lyman-series lines in the primeva ...

The CORALIE survey for southern extrasolar planets XVI. Discovery of a planetary system around HD 147018 and of two long period and massive planets orbiting HD 171238 and HD 204313

We report the detection of a double planetary system around HD 140718 as well as the discovery of two long period and massive planets orbiting HD 171238 and HD 204313. Those discoveries were made with the CORALIE Echelle spectrograph mounted on the 1.2-m E ...

The NIR Ca II triplet at low metallicity Searching for extremely low-metallicity stars in classical dwarf galaxies

Pascale Jablonka, Martin Tafelmeyer

The NIR Ca II triplet absorption lines have proven to be an important tool for quantitative spectroscopy of individual red giant branch stars in the Local Group, providing a better understanding of metallicities of stars in the Milky Way and dwarf galaxies ...

Lanthanide luminescence efficiency in eight- and nine-coordinate complexes: Role of the radiative lifetime

Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Svetlana Eliseeva

The photophysical parameters for the sensitization of metal-centred luminescence are analyzed in two series of complexes with tridentate and hexadentate ligands having NxOy chelating units. In particular, the radiative lifetime tau(rad) is experimentally e ...

Double-bracket dissipation in kinetic theory for particles with anisotropic interactions

Cesare Tronci

We derive equations of motion for the dynamics of anisotropic particles directly from the dissipative Vlasov kinetic equations, with the dissipation given by the double-bracket approach (double-bracket Vlasov, or DBV). The moments of the DBV equation lead ...

On the 3D Reconstruction of Coronal Mass Ejections using Coronagraph Data

Coronal Mass ejections (CMEs) are enormous eruptions of magnetized plasma expelled from the Sun into the interplanetary space, over the course of hours to days. They can create major disturbances in the interplanetary medium and trigger severe magnetic sto ...

Catalogues of radial and rotational velocities of 1253 F-K dwarfs in 13 nearby open clusters

Jean-Claude Mermilliod

Context. We conducted a long-term monitoring of solar-type dwarfs in 13 nearby open clusters, d < 500 pc, over 19 years, but most individual radial velocities were never published, apart from a small number of spectroscopic binaries. Aims. Our program was ...

Relating basic properties of bright early-type dwarf galaxies to their location in Abell 901/902

We present a study of the population of bright early-type dwarf galaxies in the multiple-cluster system Abell 901/902. We use data from the STAGES survey and COMBO-17 to investigate the relation between the color and structural properties of the dwarfs and ...

The Cosmic Evolution of Atomic and Molecular Hydrogen in Galaxies

Danail Obreschkow

Neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) and molecular hydrogen (H2) play a primordial role in the cosmic evolution of galaxies. However, little is known about the co-evolution of these two gas phases. This discrepancy and the design of future telescopes like the SKA ...

The simulated 21 cm signal during the epoch of reionization: full modeling of the Ly-alpha pumping

Yves Revaz

The 21 cm emission of neutral hydrogen is the most promising probe of the epoch of reionization (EoR). In the next few years, the SKA pathfinders will provide statistical measurements of this signal, such as its power spectrum. Within one decade, SKA shoul ...
