    Differential reddening in 48 globular clusters: An end to the quest for the intracluster medium
    For decades, it has been theorized that a tenuous but detectable intracluster medium should be present in globular clusters, which is continuously replenished...

    Differential rotation and meridional motions of sunspots from 1874 to 1902
    Position data of sunspot groups from the period 1874-1902 are used to investigate the differential rotation of the Sun and the meridional motions of the...

    Diffuse interstellar bands in fullerene planetary nebulae: the fullerenes - diffuse interstellar bands connection
    We present high-resolution (R ~ 15 000) VLT/UVES optical spectra of two planetary nebulae (PNe; Tc 1 and M 1-20) where C60 (and C70) fullerenes have already...

    Diffuse interstellar bands λ5780 and λ5797 in the Antennae Galaxy as seen by MUSE
    Context. Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are faint spectral absorption features of unknown origin. Research on DIBs beyond the Local Group is very limited and...

    Diffuse light in Hickson compact groups: the dynamically young system HCG 44
    Context: .Compact groups are associations of a few galaxies in which the environment plays an important role in galaxy evolution. The low group velocity...

    Disc galaxies are still settling. Discovery of the smallest nuclear discs and their young stellar bars
    When galactic discs settle and become massive enough, they are able to form stellar bars. These non-axisymmetric structures induce shocks in the gas, causing it...

    Discovery and analysis of low-surface-brightness galaxies in the environment of NGC 1052
    The environment of NGC 1052 has recently attracted much attention because of the presence of low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBGs) with apparently "exotic"...

    Discovery and characterization of the exoplanets WASP-148b and c. A transiting system with two interacting giant planets
    We present the discovery and characterization of WASP-148, a new extrasolar system that includes at least two giant planets. The host star is a slowly rotating...

    Discovery and mass measurement of the hot, transiting, Earth-sized planet, GJ 3929 b
    We report the discovery of GJ 3929 b, a hot Earth-sized planet orbiting the nearby M3.5 V dwarf star, GJ 3929 (G 180-18, TOI-2013). Joint modelling of...
