The VIMOS Ultra-Deep Survey (VUDS): Fast Increase in the Fraction
... Distribution (SED) of galaxies. The most important point to emphasize is that our flux selection is completely independent of the presence of Lyα, at least up to z ∼ 5, because it enters the photometric i′ −band only at z > 5: since the i′ −band does not contain the Lyα line, objects with strong Lyα ...

The Lupus clouds - European Southern Observatory
... Abstract. The Lupus clouds compose one of the main low-mass star forming complexes within 200 pc of the Sun. They contain four main star forming sites, including the rich T Tauri association in Lupus 3. They are located in the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association, whose massive stars are likely to have ...

When first hearing about the Vienna Workshop on the Future of Asteroseismology, many of you will have asked yourself the same questions: Why discuss the future now, when only the first results from space asteroseismology are available? Isn’t it odd to celebrate the 65th birthday of a renowned asterose ...

Ursa Major
Ursa Major /ˈɜrsə ˈmeɪdʒər/ (also known as the Great Bear and Charles' Wain) is a constellation in the northern celestial hemisphere. One of the 48 constellations listed by Ptolemy (second century AD), it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It can be visible throughout the year in most of the northern hemisphere. Its name, Latin for ""the greater (or larger) she-bear"", stands as a reference to and in direct contrast with Ursa Minor, ""the smaller she-bear"", with which it is frequently associated in mythology and amateur astronomy. The constellation's most recognizable asterism, a group of seven relatively bright stars commonly known as the ""Big Dipper"", ""the Wagon"" or ""the Plough"" (among others), both mimicks the shape of the lesser bear (the ""Little Dipper"") and is commonly used as a navigational pointer towards the current northern pole star, Polaris in Ursa Minor. The Big Dipper and the constellation as a whole have mythological significance in numerous world cultures, usually as a symbol of the north.The third largest constellation in the sky, Ursa Major is home to many deep-sky objects including seven Messier objects, four other NGC objects and I Zwicky 18, the youngest known galaxy in the visible universe.
