... PhD Thesis Topics offered by ESO Faculty Members > Thesis Topic: Testing the non-universality of the low-mass end of the Initial Mass Function in massive Early-Type Galaxies . ... Observing with ESO Telescopes . ... ESO-MIDAS . ... The stellar initial mass function (IMF) in early-type galaxies and the internal distribution of their dark and luminous mass are two of the deepest and most puzzling open issues in modern astrophysics, each of great importance to our understanding of galaxy formation. ...

... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . ... The projected distance of VFTS 682 to the cluster R136 is 29 pc (for an assumed LMC distance of 50 kpc). ... VFTS 682 is located in an active star-forming region, at a projected distance of 29 pc from the young massive cluster R136 in the Tarantula Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud. ... Our aim is to obtain the stellar properties, such as its intrinsic luminosity, and to investigate the origin of VFTS 682. ...

... These sources are known from a previous study to be associated with dense gas and dust, and not associated with HII regions. All 11 sources were detected in HCO+, 9 in mm-continuum and 5 (out of 8 observed) in cm-continuum. The derived physical parameters confirm the high mass nature of these molecular clumps and suggest they are gravitationally bound. Molecular outflows were detected toward 6 sources, with flow masses and momenta much higher than in low-mass Young Stellar Objects (YSOs). ...

... Bispectrum Speckle Interferometry of the Massive Protostellar Object S140 IRS 1: Evidence for Multiple Outflows . ... P21W Bispectrum speckle interferometry is emplyed to explore the deeply embedded young stellar object S140 IRS 1 and its environment. ... The diffuse structures around IRS 1 seem to trace the interaction of energetic outflows from IRS 1 with the circumstellar material. ...
