Accelerated bodies immersed in a fluid experience enhanced inertia due to the associated co-acceleration of a certain volume of fluid in their environment. We...
Enhanced star formation rates in AGN hosts with respect to inactive galaxies from PEP-Herschel observations
We compare the average star formation (SF) activity in X-ray selected AGN hosts with a mass-matched control sample of inactive galaxies, including both star...
Context. The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) provides continuum images and magnetograms with a cadence better than one per minute. It has been...
Environment of Seyfert 2 galaxies: the group of galaxies around NGC5252.
The relatively large neutral hydrogen contents and enhanced density of companion galaxies around Seyfert 2 galaxies suggests that tidal interaction could play a...
Aims. We investigate the influence of the interstellar medium (ISM) on debris discs using a statistical approach. We probe the effect of the ISM on debris disc...
Environmental effects on the bright end of the galaxy luminosity function in galaxy clusters
Context. The dependence of the luminosity function (LF) of cluster galaxies on the evolutionary state of the parent cluster is still an open question, in...
Environments of galaxies in groups within the supercluster-void network
Context. The majority of all galaxies reside in groups of fewer than 50 member galaxies. These groups are distributed in various large-scale environments from...
Environments of nearby quasars in Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Context: For the first time, spectroscopic galaxy redshift surveys are enabling galaxies to be studied with the nearest quasars. This allows the dependence of...
EROS 2 proper motion survey: a field brown dwarf, and an L dwarf companion to LHS 102
We report the discovery of two L dwarfs (the new spectral class defined for dwarfs cooler than the M type) in a two-epoch CCD proper motion survey of 413 square...
