Kinematic and population studies show that bulges are generally rotationally flattened systems similar to low-luminosity ellipticals. However, observations with...
A SCUBA-2 selected Herschel-SPIRE dropout and the nature of this population
Dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) detected at z > 4 provide important examples of the first generations of massive galaxies. However, few examples with...
We searched for planetary nebulae (PNe) in the nearby spiral galaxy M33 using the Wide Field Camera at the 2.54 m Isaac Newton Telescope of La Palma (Spain)...
A search for radio counterparts to Chandra ULX candidates
We present a systematic search for radio counterparts to Ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) source candidates based on a cross-correlation of the Swartz et al. (2004)...
A search for spectral features in the XMM-Newton observation of UGC 11763
We have performed the analysis of the X-ray XMM-Newton spectra of the narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxy UGC 11763 (Mkn 1513). We have studied the EPIC data in the...
A Search for Spectral Hysteresis and Energy-dependent Time Lags from X-Ray and TeV Gamma-Ray Observations of Mrk 421
Blazars are variable emitters across all wavelengths over a wide range of timescales, from months down to minutes. It is therefore essential to observe blazars...
A significant hardening and rising shape detected in the MeV/GeV νFν spectrum from the recently discovered very-high-energy blazar S4 0954+65 during the bright optical flare in 2015 February
We report on Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) and multi-wavelength results on the recently discovered very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) blazar S4 0954+65 (z =...
A simultaneous search for high-z LAEs and LBGs in the SHARDS survey
We have undertaken a comprehensive search for both Lyman alpha emitters (LAEs) and Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) in the Survey for High-z Absorption Red and Dead...
A SINFONI view of circum-nuclear star-forming rings in spiral galaxies
We present near-infrared (H- and K-band) SINFONI integral-field observations of the circumnuclear star formation rings in five nearby spiral galaxies. We made...
