We have undertaken a pilot project to measure the rotation velocities of spiral galaxies in the redshift range 0.18 < z < 0.4 using high dispersion long slit spectroscopy obtained with the Palomar 5m telescope. One field galaxy and three…
We propose a method for measuring the projected rotational velocity $v sin i$ with high-precision even in spectra with blended lines. Though not automatic, our method is designed to be applied systematically to large numbers of objects…
We show that the small intrinsic spread in luminosities of red clump giants can be used to constrain the differences in the streaming motions of Galatic bulge stars on the near side and those on the far side. We propose two methods to…
We present significantly improved measurements of turbulent velocities in the hot gaseous halos of nearby giant elliptical galaxies. Using deep XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS ) observations and a combination of resonance…
Oxygen sequence Wolf-Rayet stars (WO) are thought to be the final evolution phase of some high mass stars, as such they may be the progenitors of type Ic SNe as well as potential progenitors of broad-lined Ic and long gamma-ray bursts. We…
Context. Mass loss of ~0.1-0.3 M$_{\odot}$ from Population II red giant stars (RGB) is a requirement of stellar evolution theory in order to account for several observational evidences in globular clusters. Aims. The aim of this study is to…
This study presents the rotational distribution of red giant stars (RGs) in eleven old to intermediate age open clusters. The masses of these stars are all above the Kraft break, so that they lose negligible amounts of their birth angular…
More than 15000 red giants observed by Kepler for a duration of almost one year became public at the beginning of this year. We analysed a subsample of 416 stars to determine the global properties of acoustic modes (mean large separation…
Stellar rotation is closely linked to both age and magnetic activity. Through gyrochronology, it provides a means to estimate stellar ages and trace the evolution of planetary systems, and it is also crucial to constrain and correct stellar…
We used spectral observations of Fe I line profiles with a 200 000 resolution to determine micro and macroturbulent velocities in the atmospheres of the Sun as a star, {\alpha} Cen A, Procyon ({\alpha} CMi), Arcturus ({\alpha} Boo), and…
Analysis of the peculiar velocities of galaxies should take account of the uncertainties in both redshifts and distances. We show how this can be done by a numerical application of the action principle. The method is applied to an improved…
Within the scope of a Key Programme determining fundamental parameters of stars observed by HIPPARCOS, spectra of 525 B8 to F2-type stars brighter than V=8 have been collected at ESO. Fourier transforms of several line profiles in the range…
Models are presented for CO rotational line emission by high redshift starburst galaxies. The influence of the cosmic microwave background on the thermal balance and the level populations of atomic and molecular species is explicitly…
A catalog of more than 43,000 M giant stars has been selected by Li et al. from the ninth data release of LAMOST. Using the data-driven method SLAM, we obtain the stellar parameters (Teff, logg, [M/H], [$\alpha$/M]) for all the M giant…
We derive the vertical velocities of disk stars in the range of Galactocentric radii of R=5-16 kpc within 2 kpc in height from the Galactic plane. This kinematic information is connected to dynamical aspects in the formation and evolution…
Radial velocity observations of K giants have revealed periodic variations for some of the stars. The periods range from approximately 180 to 1000 or more days with velocity amplitudes ranging from approximately 50 m/s to 500 m/s. Except…
Aims: Projected rotational velocities (\vsini) have been estimated for 334 targets in the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula survey that do not manifest significant radial velocity variations and are not supergiants. They have spectral types from…
Kepler allows the measurement of starspot variability in a large sample of field red giants for the first time. With a new method that combines autocorrelation and wavelet decomposition, we measure 361 rotation periods from the full set of…
We use time-resolved spectra of the cataclysmic variable RW Tri in the I and K-band to determine the orbital velocity of the secondary star using skew mapping and cross correlation techniques respectively. We find radial velocity amplitudes…
We study how stellar rotation curves (RCs) of galaxies are correlated on average with morphology and stellar mass ($M_\mathrm{star}$) using the final release of Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV MaNGA data. We use the visually assigned $T$-types…
