    Distribution of star formation in galactic bars as seen with Hα and stacked GALEX UV imaging
    Context. Stellar bars are known to gradually funnel gas to the central parts of disk galaxies. It remains a matter of debate why the distribution of ionized gas...

    Distribution of starspots on cool stars. I. Young and main sequence stars of 1Msun_.
    Sunspots are restricted to a latitude band within 30degof the solar equator. In contrast, the latitudes of spots on the surfaces of rapidly rotating cool stars...

    Distributions, equivalent widths and metallicities of the H II regions in the spiral galaxies NGC 5457 and NGC 4395
    Using CCD observations in the narrow band filters in Hα , Hβ , [O Ii], [O Iii], [S Ii] and [S Iii] lines we have compiled a catalogue of 338 H Ii regions for...

    Diversity of dwarf galaxy IR-submm emission patterns: CLUES from hydrodynamical simulations
    Context. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of low-mass low-metallicity (dwarf) galaxies are a challenging piece of the puzzle of galaxy formation in the...

    Diversity of nuclear star cluster formation mechanisms revealed by their star formation histories
    Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are the densest stellar systems in the Universe and are found in the centres of all types of galaxies. They are thought to form via...

    Do spiral arms enhance star formation efficiency?
    Spiral arms, as those of our own Milky Way, are some of the most spectacular features in disc galaxies. It has been argued that star formation should proceed...

    Does the virial mass drive the intra-cluster light?. Relationship between the ICL and M<SUB>vir</SUB> from VEGAS
    In this Letter, we revisit the relationship between the fraction of the intra-cluster light (ICL) as well as the virial mass and the fraction of early-type...

    Doppler images of the RS CVn binary HR 1099 (V711 Tau) from the MUSICOS 1998 campaign
    We present Doppler Images of the RS CVn binary system HR 1099 (V711 Tau) from spectra taken in two different sites, KPNO and MSO, during the MUSICOS 1998...

    Doppler tomography of the black hole binary A0620-00 and the origin of chromospheric emission in quiescent X-ray binaries
    Context. Doppler tomography of emission line profiles in low-mass X-ray binaries allows us to disentangle the different emission sites and study the structure...
