    Kinematics of the ionized and molecular gas in nearby luminous infrared interacting galaxies
    We have observed three luminous infrared galaxy systems which are pairs of interacting galaxies, with the Galaxy Hα Fabry-Perot system mounted on the 4.2 m...

    LeMMINGs - I. The eMERLIN legacy survey of nearby galaxies. 1.5-GHz parsec-scale radio structures and cores
    We present the first data release of high-resolution (≤0.2 arcsec) 1.5-GHz radio images of 103 nearby galaxies from the Palomar sample, observed with the...

    LeMMINGs III. The e-MERLIN legacy survey of the Palomar sample: exploring the origin of nuclear radio emission in active and inactive galaxies through the [O III] - radio connection
    What determines the nuclear radio emission in local galaxies? To address this question, we combine optical [O III] line emission, robust black hole (BH) mass...

    Lessons from the massive relic NGC 1277: Remaining in situstar formation in the cores of massive galaxies
    Near-ultraviolet (NUV) spectroscopic studies have suggested that passively evolving massive, early-type galaxies host sub-one per cent fractions of young stars...

    Let there be light: galaxy formation for the novice
    The origin of the galaxies represents an important focus of current cosmological research, both observational and theoretical. Its resolution involves a...

    Linking star formation thresholds and truncations in the thin and thick disks of the low-mass galaxy UGC 7321
    Thin and thick disks are found in most spiral galaxies, yet their formation scenarios remain uncertain. Whether thick disks form through slow or fast, internal...
