    A photometric analysis of Abell 1689: two-dimensional multistructure decomposition, morphological classification and the Fundamental Plane
    We present a photometric analysis of 65 galaxies in the rich cluster Abell 1689 at z = 0.183, using the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys...

    A Photometric and Kinematic Study of the Stars and Interstellar Medium in the Central 2 Kiloparsecs of NGC 3379
    Hubble Space Telescope images of NGC 3379 show that the V and I luminosity profiles in the inner 13" of this E1 galaxy are represented by two different...

    A photometric method to determine supermassive black hole masses
    We report the discovery of a strong correlation between the shape of a bulge's light-profile and the mass of its central supermassive black hole (Mbh). We find...

    A physically motivated definition for the size of galaxies in an era of ultradeep imaging
    Present-day multiwavelength deep imaging surveys allow to characterize the outskirts of galaxies with unprecedented precision. Taking advantage of this...

    A pilot study for the SCUBA-2 `All-Sky' Survey
    We have carried out a pilot study for the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array 2 (SCUBA-2) ‘All-Sky’ Survey (SASSy), a wide and shallow mapping project at...

    A plausible link between dynamically unsettled molecular gas and the radio jet in NGC 6328
    We report the detection of outflowing molecular gas at the center of the nearby radio galaxy NGC6328 (z = 0.014), which has a gigahertz-peaked spectrum radio...

    A Population of Dust-rich Quasars at z ~ 1.5
    We report Herschel SPIRE (250, 350, and 500 μm) detections of 32 quasars with redshifts 0.5

    A possible binary AGN in Mrk 622?
    Mrk 622 is a Compton thick active galactic nuclei (AGN) and a double-peaked narrow emission line galaxy, thus a dual AGN candidate. In this work, new optical...

    A possible origin of the mass-metallicity relation of galaxies
    Observations show that galaxies follow a mass-metallicity relation over a wide range of masses. One currently favoured explanation is that less massive galaxies...
