    Satellites around Massive Galaxies Since z ~ 2: Confronting the Millennium Simulation with Observations
    Minor merging has been postulated as the most likely evolutionary path to produce the increase in size and mass observed in the massive galaxies since z ~ 2. In...

    Satellites around massive galaxies since z˜ 2
    The accretion of minor satellites has been postulated as the most likely mechanism to explain the significant size evolution of massive galaxies over cosmic...

    Satellites of massive galaxies: the infalling pieces of the puzzle
    Accretion of minor satellites has been postulated as the most likely mechanism to explain the significant size evolution of massive galaxies over cosmic time. A...

    SBS 1150+599A: An extremely oxygen-poor planetary nebula in the Galactic halo?
    We report results of a spectrophotometric study of SBS 1150+599A and discuss the nature of this object based upon our data. Our study shows that SBS 1150+599A...

    Scale Lengths in Disk Surface Brightness as Probes of Dust Extinction in Three Spiral Galaxies: M51, NGC 3631, and NGC 4321
    We have measured the radial brightness distributions in the disks of three nearby face-on spiral galaxies, M51, NGC 3631, and NGC 4321 (M100), in the...

    SCUBA-2 observations of candidate starbursting protoclusters selected by Planck and Herschel-SPIRE
    We present SCUBA-2 850 μm observations of 13 candidate starbursting protoclusters selected using Planck and Herschel data. The cumulative number counts of the...

    SCUBA-2 overdensities associated with candidate protoclusters selected from Planck data
    We measure the 850-μm source densities of 46 candidate protoclusters selected from the Planck high-z catalogue (PHz) and the Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources...

    SCUBA-2 Ultra Deep Imaging EAO Survey (STUDIES): Faint-end Counts at 450 μm
    The SCUBA-2 Ultra Deep Imaging EAO Survey (STUDIES) is a three-year JCMT Large Program aiming to reach the 450 μm confusion limit in the COSMOS-CANDELS region...

    SDSS automated morphology classification (Huertas-Company+, 2011)
    We used all the SDSS DR7 spectroscopic sample as the starting base. Then, the selection of objects was based on Sanchez Almeida et al. (2010ApJ...714..487A) who...
