    Spin-up of massive classical bulges during secular evolution
    Context. Classical bulges in spiral galaxies are known to rotate, but the origin of this observed rotational motion is not well understood. It has been shown...

    Spindown of massive single main sequence stars in the Milky Way
    Context. We need to understand the spin evolution of massive stars to compute their internal rotation-induced mixing processes, isolate effects of close binary...

    Spiral-shaped wavefronts in a sunspot umbra
    Context. Solar active regions show a wide variety of oscillatory phenomena. The presence of the magnetic field leads to the appearance of several wave modes...

    Spitzer/IRAC view of Sh 2-284. Searching for evidence of triggered star formation in an isolated region in the outer Milky Way
    Aims: Using Spitzer/IRAC observations of a region to be observed by the CoRoT satellite, we have unraveled a new complex star-forming region at low metallicity...
