The planetary system K2-24 is composed of two transiting low-density Neptunians locked in an almost perfect 2:1 resonance and showing large transit time...
The Kepler characterization of the variability among A- and F-type stars. I. General overview
Context. The Kepler spacecraft is providing time series of photometric data with micromagnitude precision for hundreds of A-F type stars. Aims: We present a...
The kinematics of local thick discs do not support an accretion origin⋆
Thick discs are nearly ubiquitous components of the discs of present-day galaxies. It has been proposed that a fraction of their stars have been accreted. Here...
The kinematics of the quadrupolar nebula M 1-75 and the identification of its central star
Context. The link between how bipolar planetary nebulae are shaped and their central stars is still poorly understood. Aims: This paper investigates the...
The kinematics of water masers in the stellar molecular outflow source, IRAS 19134+2131
Using the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), we have observed water maser emission in the proto-planetary nebula candidate IRAS...
The kinematics of young and old stellar populations in nuclear rings of MUSE TIMER galaxies
Context. Studying the stellar kinematics of galaxies is a key tool in the reconstruction of their evolution. However, the current measurements of the stellar...
The Kormendy relation for early-type galaxies. Dependence on the magnitude range
Aims: Previous studies have indicated that faint and bright early-type galaxies (ETGs) present different coefficients and dispersions for their Kormendy...
The Large Magellanic Cloud stellar content with SMASH. I. Assessing the stability of the Magellanic spiral arms
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the closest and most studied example of an irregular galaxy. Among its principal defining morphological features, its off...
The last pieces of the primitive inner belt puzzle: Klio, Chaldaea, Chimaera, and Svea
Aims: Several primitive families in the inner region of the main asteroid belt were identified as potential sources for two near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), (101955...
