Could the Galactic disk heating be due to Globular Cluster impacts? (2009)
Putte, D. Vande, Cropper, Mark, Ferreras, Ignacio
So far, six mechanisms have been proposed to account for the Galactic disk heating. Of these, the most important appear to be a combination of scattering of stars by molecular clouds and by spiral...
Virtual Observatory studies of Planetary Nebulae (2009)
Mignani, R. P., Kerber, F., Smart, R. L., Putte, D. Vande, Wicenec, A., Rauch, T., ...
Starting from the Strasbourg ESO Catalogue (SEC) of Planetary Nebulae (PNe), the largest PNe compilation available with ~ 1500 objects, we undertook a comprehensive study of the whole PN population,...
Detecting the effect of Globular Cluster impacts on the disk of the Milky Way (2008)
Putte, D. Vande, Cropper, Mark
The crossing of the Galactic disk by a Globular Cluster could produce star formation due to gravitational focussing or compression of disk material. We report on simulations of the effect on disk...
Rauch, T., Ziegler, M., Werner, K., Kruk, J. W., Oliveira, C. M., Putte, D. Vande, ...
LS V +4621 is the DAO-type central star of the planetary nebula Sh 2-216. We perform a comprehensive spectral analysis of high-resolution, high-S/N ultraviolet observations obtained with FUSE and...
A non-main-sequence secondary in SY Cancri (2005)
Smith, R. C., Mehes, O., Putte, D. Vande, Hawkins, N. A.
Simultaneous spectroscopic and photometric observations of the Z Cam type dwarf nova SY Cancri were used to obtain absolute flux calibrations. A comparison of the photometric calibration with a wide...
A spectroscopic search for faint secondaries in cataclysmic variables (2003)
Putte, D. Vande, Smith, Robert Connon, Hawkins, N. A., Martin, J. S.
The secondary in cataclysmic variables (CV's) is usually detected by cross-correlation of the CV spectrum with that of a K or M dwarf template, to produce a radial velocity curve. Although this...
