    Anisotropic satellite accretion on to the Local Group with HESTIA
    How the cosmic web feeds haloes, and fuels galaxy formation is an open question with wide implications. This study explores the mass assembly in the Local Group...

    Anomalously Low-metallicity Regions in MaNGA Star-forming Galaxies: Accretion Caught in Action?
    We use data from 1222 late-type star-forming galaxies in the SDSS IV Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory survey to identify regions in which the...

    Anomaly detection in Hyper Suprime-Cam galaxy images with generative adversarial networks
    The problem of anomaly detection in astronomical surveys is becoming increasingly important as data sets grow in size. We present the results of an unsupervised...

    Antitruncation of Disks in Early-Type Barred Galaxies
    The disks of spiral galaxies are commonly thought to be truncated: the radial surface brightness profile steepens sharply beyond a certain radius (3-5 inner...

    Antitruncations
    Since 1970 surface brightness profiles of disc galaxies were classified as Type-I, single falling exponentials, or Type-II, broken exponentials with steeper...

    Aperture corrections for disk galaxy properties derived from the CALIFA survey. Balmer emission lines in spiral galaxies
    This work investigates the effect of the aperture size on derived galaxy properties for which we have spatially-resolved optical spectra. We focus on some...

    APOGEE Chemical Abundances of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy
    The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment provides the opportunity of measuring elemental abundances for C, N, O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, K, Ca, V...

    Apostle-Auriga: effects of different subgrid models on the baryon cycle around Milky Way-mass galaxies
    Modern hydrodynamical simulations reproduce many properties of the real Universe. These simulations model various physical processes, but many of these are...

    Appearances can be deceiving: clear signs of accretion in the seemingly ordinary Sextans dSph
    We report the discovery of clear observational signs of past accretion/merger events in one of the Milky Way satellite galaxies, the Sextans dwarf spheroidal...
