An ionised bubble powered by a proto-cluster at z = 6.5
We show herein that a proto-cluster of Lyα emitting galaxies, spectroscopically confirmed at redshift 6.5, produces a remarkable number of ionising continuum...
An ultraviolet wind in a neutron star X-ray binary transient
All disc-accreting astrophysical objects produce powerful disc winds. In compact binaries containing neutron stars or black holes, accretion often takes place...
Appraising the Necklace: A post-common-envelope carbon dwarf inside an apparently carbon-poor planetary nebula
The Necklace nebula is a bipolar, post-common-envelope planetary nebula, the central star of which has been shown to have a dwarf carbon star companion. We aim...
Now almost 70 years since its introduction, the effective or half-light radius has become a very popular choice for characterising galaxy size. However, the...
Are ultra-diffuse galaxies structurally similar to low-surface-brightness galaxies?
A central question regarding ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) is whether they are in a separate category from low-surface-brightness (LSB) galaxies, or just their...
Asteroid reflectance spectra from Gaia DR3: Near-UV in primitive asteroids
Asteroids are the remnants of the planetary formation in the Solar System and so, their study helps us to understand the conditions during the early stages of...
Baryonic properties of nearby galaxies across the stellar-to-total dynamical mass relation
Despite the fundamental role that dark matter halos play in our theoretical understanding of galaxy formation and evolution, the interplay between galaxies and...
Black holes modulate star formation in neighboring galaxies
Every massive galaxy hosts a black hole in its center. Both the size and the mass of these black holes is negligible compared to the host galaxy, millions of...
