The host galaxy of the gamma-ray burst GRB990712

The host galaxy observed with the HST/STIS camera. The redshift of this burst was z=0.434 and it is thus one of the closest cosmological bursts. The distance between the two knots is 1500 pc. It is possible that these knots are two separate star forming regions. The GRB occurred in the right knot.

Another barred galaxy: NGC 1365 - member of the Fornax cluster. It is a wide spiral with a very strong bar and contains more than 15 x 109 solar masses of HI (Jörsäter & Moorsel, AJ 110 (5), 1995, p. 2037). Three I-band frames have been added to get the image.

COMBO-17: Classifying Objects by Medium-Band Observations

COMBO-17 has imaged 1 square degree of sky in 17 optical filters using the Wide Field Imager at the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at La Silla, Chile. The image shows the cluster field Abell 901/902. (full size).

Detail of a cosmological simulation of galaxy formation

Detail of a 25 Mpc simulation (using the MMART code - multiple-mass adaptive refinement tree) at redshift 0.25: This group contains three massive halos and 110 smaller satellites. The progenitor of this object at redshift one shows two of the massive halos in the progress of merging. At redshift 5.5 a huge number of small halos can be seen along filaments.

First XMM observations of the Lockman hole

Lockman Hole viewed by EPIC PN-Camera in a ~20 ksec observation (see http://sci.esa.int ). The superposed squares with numbers refer to the sources detected in 1.2 Msec observation with the ROSAT HRI, which was the deepest X-ray image of the universe until recently. The XMM observation, although relatively short, is even more sensitive than the deepest ROSAT observation. A total exposure time of 150 ksec is foreseen in the XMM PV phase.

Galactic magnetic fields

In order to explain the observed properties of galactic magnetic fields, a 3D numerical code was applied to a uniform external (primordial) magnetic field being subject to a complex flow pattern representing the situation in a turbulent spiral galaxy. No dynamo alpha-effect was prescribed, but all the known turbulence effects such as eddy diamagnetism and turbulent pumping are involved.
