Mid infrared spectra provide a powerful probe of the conditions in dusty galactic nuclei. They variously contain emission features associated with star forming regions and absorptions by circumnuclear silicate dust plus ices in cold…

We present mid-IR imaging observations of a high Galactic latitude cirrus obtained with the ISO camera ISOCAM at 6" angular resolution. The observations were done with two filters LW2 (5-8.5 microns) and LW3 (12-18 microns) that measure…

In the outskirts of galaxy clusters, entropy profiles measured from X-ray observations of the hot intracluster medium (ICM) drops off unexpectedly. One possible explanation for this effect is gas clumping, where pockets of cooler and denser…

We present near-infrared integral field spectroscopy of ten Herschel selected galaxies at z~1.5. From detailed mapping of the H$\alpha$ and [NII] emission lines we trace the dynamics, star formation rates, metallicities and also investigate…

We discuss the identification of sources detected by ISO at 6.7 and 15 micron in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) region. We conservatively associate ISO sources with objects in existing optical and near-infrared HDF catalogues using the…

We have undertaken a multiwavelength project to study the relatively unknown properties of groups and poor clusters of galaxies at intermediate redshifts. In this paper, we describe the XMM-Newton observations of six X-ray selected groups…

We present the mid-infrared (MIR) observation of a nearby galaxy cluster, Abell 2255 by the AKARI space telescope. Using the AKARI's continuous wavelength coverage between 3-24 micron and the wide field of view, we investigate the…

We report the detection of the extremely red object (ERO), HR 10 (I-K= 6.5, z=1.44), at 4.9 and 6.1 microns (rest-frame) with ISOCAM, the mid-infrared (MIR) camera onboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). HR 10 is the first ERO…

We present the deepest far-IR observations obtained with Herschel and examine the 3-500um SEDs of galaxies at 0<z<2.5, supplemented by a local reference sample from IRAS, ISO, Spitzer and AKARI data. We find that the ratio of total IR…

We report on the results of an IRAM-30m search for CO emission lines in three galaxies at intermediate redshifts. The idea was to investigate the molecular content of galaxies bright in the infrared at z=0.4-1.5, a redshift desert for…

The intracluster light (ICL) is a faint diffuse stellar component in clusters made of stars not bound to individual galaxies. We have carried out a large scale study of this component in the nearby Virgo cluster. The diffuse light is traced…

We identify a sample of 324 red and 273 blue face-on spiral galaxies selected from 115 low-redshift (0.014 < z < 0.18) galaxy clusters imaged with CFHT+MegaCam in u- and r-band, KPNO 0.9-meter 2TKA and MOSAIC 8K camera in B and Rc, and…

We present spectroscopic confirmation of nine moderate redshift galaxy groups and poor clusters selected from the ROSAT Deep Cluster Survey. The groups span the redshift range z=0.23-0.59 and have between 4 and 20 confirmed members. The…

Numerous methods for finding clusters at moderate to high redshifts have been proposed in recent years, at wavelengths ranging from radio to X-rays. In this paper we describe a new method for detecting clusters in two-band optical/near-IR…

We present a sample of over 100 highly X-ray luminous galaxy clusters at $z\sim$ 0.5-0.9, discovered by the extended Massive Cluster Survey (eMACS) in ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) data. Follow-up observations of a subset at higher resolution…

Results of ASCA X-ray study of central regions of medium-richness clusters of galaxies are summarized, emphasizing differences between cD and non-cD clusters. The intra-cluster medium (ICM) is likely to consist of two (hot and cool) phases…

At a redshift of 0.18, Abell 1689 is so far the most distant cluster of galaxies for which substantial mid-infrared (MIR) data have been published. We present here the follow-up optical photometric and spectroscopic observations which were…

In an effort to better understand the UV properties of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIGs), and compare them to the rest-frame UV properties of high redshift sub-mm and Lyman-break galaxies, we have obtained far- and near-UV imaging…

Irregular (Irr) galaxies are gas-rich objects with recent or ongoing star formation. In absence of spiral density waves, star formation occurs largely stochastically. The scattered star-forming regions tend to be long-lived and migrate…

We present a detailed mid-infrared study of the nearby, face-on spiral galaxy M83 based on ISOCAM data. M83 is a unique case study, since a wide variety of MIR broad-band filters as well as spectra, covering the wavelength range of 4 to…
