The fluorine abundance in a Galactic Bulge AGB star measured from CRIRES spectra (2008)

Uttenthaler, Stefan, Lebzelter, Thomas, Aringer, Bernhard, Käufl, Hans-Ulrich, Siebenmorgen, Ralf, Smette, Alain

We present measurements of the fluorine abundance in a Galactic Bulge Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) star. The measurements were performed using high resolution K-band spectra obtained with the CRIRES...

Haas, Martin, Siebenmorgen, Ralf, Pantin, Eric, Horst, Hannes, Smette, Alain, Kaufl, Hans-Ulrich, ...

Half of the Seyfert-2 galaxies escaped detection of broad lines in their polarised spectra observed so far. Some authors have suspected that these non-HBLRs contain real Sy2 nuclei without intrinsic...

Spectral type dependent rotational braking and strong magnetic flux in three components of the late-M multiple system LHS 1070 (2007)

Reiners, Ansgar, Seifahrt, Andreas, Käufl, Hans Ulrich, Siebenmorgen, Ralf, Smette, Alain

We show individual high resolution spectra of components A, B, and C of the nearby late-M type multiple system LHS 1070. Component A is a mid-M star, B and C are known to have masses at the threshold...

Unification of 3CR Radio Galaxies and Quasars (2006)

Schulz, Bernhard, Siebenmorgen, Ralf, Haas, Martin, Kruegel, Endrik, Chini, Rolf

We have observed seven powerful FR2 radiogalaxies and seven quasars with the Spitzer IRS. Both samples are comparable in both, redshift range and isotropic 178 Hz luminosity. Both samples are found...

SED of starbursts (2006)

Siebenmorgen, Ralf, Kruegel, Endrik

We provide a library of some 7000 SEDs for starbursts and ultra luminous galaxies (http://www.eso.org/~rsiebenm/sb_models). Its purpose is to quickly obtain estimates of the basic parameters, such as...

Dust in starburst nuclei and ULIRGs: SED models for observers (2006)

Siebenmorgen, Ralf, Kruegel, Endrik

We provide a library of some 7000 SEDs (available at www.eso.org/~rsiebenm) for the nuclei of starburst and ultra luminous galaxies. Its purpose is to quickly obtain estimates of the basic...

Spitzer IRS spectroscopy of 3CR radio galaxies and quasars: Testing the unified schemes (2005)

Haas, Martin, Siebenmorgen, Ralf, Schulz, Bernhard, Kruegel, Endrik, Chini, Rolf

With the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) we have observed seven powerful FR2 radio galaxies and seven quasars. Both samples, the galaxies and the quasars, are comparable in...

Dust Emission by AGN and Starbursts (2005)

Siebenmorgen, Ralf

Present AGN and starburst models aiming to account for the observed infrared SEDs consider a physical description of the dust and a solution of the radiative transfer problem. MIR spectra obtained at...

SED models of AGN (2004)

Siebenmorgen, Ralf, Efstathiou, Andreas

Present AGN models aiming to account for the observed infrared SEDs consider a physical description of the dust and a solution of the radiative transfer problem. Mid infrared spectra obtained at...

Mid-infrared selection of AGN (2004)

Haas, Martin, Siebenmorgen, Ralf, Leipski, Christian, Ott, Stephan, Cunow, Barbara, Meusinger, Helmut, ...

Since a large fraction of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is missed in common UV-excess surveys and is even hard to find in radio, near-IR and X-ray surveys, we have used a new AGN selection technique...

Hot Dust in Radio-Loud Active Galactic Nuclei (2003)

Freudling, Wolfram, Siebenmorgen, Ralf

We have measured mid-infrared (MIR) fluxes of 3C sources on images taken with ISOCAM onboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). The photometric data were combined with existing photometry at other...

Imaging with the VLT (2002)

Ralf Siebenmorgen

Introduction For each of the four VLT unit telescopes there are at least three instruments. Already since a couple of years in operation are FORS1, FORS2 and ISAAC. By end of next year imaging will...

Infrared Space Observatory Polarimetric Imaging of the Egg Nebula (RAFGL 2688) (2002)

Kastner, Joel H., Li, Jingqiang, Siebenmorgen, Ralf, Weintraub, David A.

We present polarimetric imaging of the protoplanetary nebula RAFGL 2688 obtained at 4.5 microns with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). We have deconvolved the images to remove the signature of...

Galaxies in the infrared (2000)

Siebenmorgen, Ralf

The mid infrared spectra of the starbursts show the 9.7$\mu m$ silicate absorption feature and strong mid infrared emission bands centered at 6.2, 7.7, and 11.3 $\mu$m. Illustrative models of the...
