A fundamental plane for field star-forming galaxies
Context. Star formation rate (SFR), metallicity, and stellar mass are among the most important parameters of star-forming (SF) galaxies characterizing their...
A geometric distance to the supermassive black Hole of NGC 3783
The angular size of the broad line region (BLR) of the nearby active galactic nucleus NGC 3783 has been spatially resolved by recent observations with VLTI...
A giant thin stellar stream in the Coma Galaxy Cluster
The study of dynamically cold stellar streams reveals information about the gravitational potential where they reside and provides important constraints on the...
A giant umbrella-like stellar stream around the tidal ring galaxy NGC 922
Context. Tidal ring galaxies (TRGs) are rarely observed in the local universe due to their intrinsically transient nature. The tidal ring structures are the...
A half-a-day long thermonuclear X-ray burst from KS 1731-260
We report on an approximately twelve hour long X-ray flare from the low-mass X-ray binary KS 1731-260. The flare has a rise time of less than 13 min and...
A He I upper atmosphere around the warm Neptune GJ 3470 b
High resolution transit spectroscopy has proven to be a reliable technique for the characterization of the chemical composition of exoplanet atmospheres. Taking...
A Herschel view of the far-infrared properties of submillimetre galaxies
We study a sample of 61submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) selected from ground-based surveys, with known spectroscopic redshifts and observed with the Herschel Space...
A high angular resolution view of the PAH emission in Seyfert galaxies using JWST/MRS data
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carbon-based molecules that are ubiquitous in a variety of astrophysical objects and environments. In this work we...
A high-resolution spectroscopy survey of β Cephei pulsations in bright stars
We present a study of absorption line-profile variations in early-B type near-main-sequence stars without emission lines. We have surveyed a total of 171 bright...
