GHASP: an Hα kinematics survey of spiral galaxies - XII. Distribution of luminous and dark matter in spiral and irregular nearby galaxies using Rc-band photometry
M. Korsaga, P. Amram, C. Carignan and B. EpinatMass models of 100 nearby spiral and irregular galaxies, covering morphological types from Sa to Irr, are computed using H α rotation curves and Rc-band surface brightness profiles. The kinematics was obtained using a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer. One of the aims is to compare our...

Hydrogeochemical and multi-tracer investigations of arsenic-affected aquifers in semi-arid West Africa
Anja Bretzler, Lucien Stolze, Julien Nikiema, Franck Lalanne, Elaheh Ghadiri, Matthias S. Brennwald, Massimo Rolle, Mario SchirmerThe semi-arid Sahel regions of West Africa rely heavily on groundwater from shallow to moderately deep (10 mg/L) stemming from the oxidation of sulphide minerals (pyrite, arsenopyrite) in mineralised zones. These aquifers are still little investigated, especially concerning groundwater...

Intrusion-related gold mineralization: Inata gold deposit, Bélahourou district, Northern Burkina Faso (West-Africa)
Herman Ilboudo, Sâga Sawadogo, Abraham Seydoux Traoré, Martial Sama, Urbain Wenmenga, Martin LompoThe Inata cluster of gold deposits is one of ten gold deposits currently in exploitation in Burkina Faso. The aim of
this work was to assess the influence and contribution of the magmatic events in the metallogenic system. Our
approach is based on detailed field observation and petrography of...

GHASP: an Hα kinematical survey of spiral galaxies - XI. Distribution of luminous and dark matter in spiral and irregular nearby galaxies using WISE photometry
M. Korsaga, C. Carignan, P. Amram, B. Epinat and T.H. JarrettWe present the mass distribution of a sample of 121 nearby galaxies with high-quality optical velocity fields and available infrared Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer(WISE) 3.4 μm data. Contrary to previous studies, this sample covers all morphological types and is not biased towards...

The Belahourou granite pluton (Djibo Greenstone belt. Burkina Faso): Emplacement mechanism and implication for gold mineralization along a shear zone
Sâga Sawadogo, Séta Naba, Hermann Ilboudo, Abraham Seydoux Traoré, Samuel Nakolendoussé, Martin LompoThe Belahourou granite pluton (BG pluton) is a magmatic body that belongs to the Djibo greenstone belt,
north Burkina Faso. Calc-alkaline in composition and 2132 ± 4 Ma in age (U-Pb zircon), this pluton is
bordered by the curved Belahourou-Souma (BS) sinistral shear-zone, NNW-trending in the...

Modeling of the Alteration Wedge in a Crystalline Basement Environment: Case Study of Burkina Faso Central Regions
Kafando Sayoba, Nakolendoussé Samuel, Nikiéma JulienThe alteration wedge is unevenly distributed in the central region of Burkina Faso. Outcrops of crystalline rocks can be seen everywhere on the sheet. Water drilling data made it possible to highlight this inequality. The frequency of the encountered alteration depths associated with the water...

Chemical composition, physicochemical characteristics and nutritional value of Lannea kerstingii seed and seed oil
Judicaël Thomas Ouilly, Patrice Bazongo, Adjima Bougma, Nèbpawindé Kaboré, Anne Mette Lykke, Amadé Ouédraogo and Imaël Henri Nestor BassoléThe chemical composition, main physicochemical properties, and nutritional value of seed flour and seed oil of Lannea kerstingii were studied. The results indicated that seeds contained 3.61% moisture, 57.85% fat, 26.39% protein, 10.07% carbohydrates, and 2.08% ash. Potassium was the predominant...
