    • Background galaxies as reddening probes throughout the Magellanic Clouds 

      Dutra, Carlos Maximiliano; Bica, Eduardo Luiz Damiani; Claria Olmedo, Juan Jose; Piatti, Andres E.; Ahumada, Andrea Veronica (2001) [Journal article]
      We study the spectral properties in the range 3600 Å - 6800 Å of the nuclear region of galaxies behind the Magellanic Clouds. The radial velocities clari ed the nature of the objects as background galaxies or extended ...

    • Foreground and background dust in star cluster directions 

      Dutra, Carlos Maximiliano; Bica, Eduardo Luiz Damiani (2000) [Journal article]
      This paper compares reddening values E(B-V) derived from the stellar content of 103 old open clusters and 147 globular clusters of the Milky Way with those derived from DIRBE/IRAS 100 μm dust emission in the same directions. ...

    • New star clusters projected close to the galactic centre 

      Dutra, Carlos Maximiliano; Bica, Eduardo Luiz Damiani (2000) [Journal article]
      Abstract. We carried out a systematic search for new star clusters in a field of 5 5 centred close to the Galactic Nucleus using the infrared JHKs 2MASS Survey archive. In addition we searched for embedded clusters in the ...

    • NTT infrared imaging of star cluster candidates towards the central parts of the Galaxy 

      Dutra, Carlos Maximiliano; Ortolani, Sergio; Bica, Eduardo Luiz Damiani; Barbuy, Beatriz; Zoccali, Manuela; Momany, Yazan (2003) [Journal article]
      We address the issue whether the central parts of the Galaxy harbour young clusters other than Arches, Quintuplet and the Nuclear Young Cluster. A large sample of centrally projected cluster candidates has been recently ...

    • On the calibration of the COBE/IRAS dust emission reddening maps 

      Dutra, Carlos Maximiliano; Ahumada, Andrea Veronica; Claria Olmedo, Juan Jose; Bica, Eduardo Luiz Damiani; Barbuy, Beatriz (2003) [Journal article]
      In this work we study the spectral properties (3600–6800 Å) of the nuclear region of early-type galaxies at low (|b| < 25◦), intermediate (including surroundings of the Magellanic Clouds) and high (South Polar Cap) Galactic ...

    • The dust content and opacity of actively star-forming galaxies 

      Calzetti, Daniela; Armus, Lee; Bohlin, Ralph C.; Kinney, Anne Louise; Koornneef, Jan; Storchi-Bergmann, Thaisa (2000) [Journal article]
      We present far-infrared (FIR) photometry at 150 and 205 μm of eight low-redshift starburst galaxies obtained with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) ISOPHOT. Five of the eight galaxies are detected in both wave bands, ...
