Massive relic galaxies prefer dense environments
We study the preferred environments of z ˜ 0 massive relic galaxies (M⋆ ≳ 1010 M⊙ galaxies with little or no growth from star formation or mergers since z ˜ 2)...
Massive star formation in galaxies with excess ultraviolet emission
From an analysis of almost 2000 Galaxy Evolution Explorer images of galaxies with morphological types ranging from E to Sab, we have found a significant subset...
Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium - IX. SN 2014av, and characterization of Type Ibn SNe
We present spectroscopic and photometric data of the Type Ibn supernova (SN) 2014av, discovered by the Xingming Observatory Sky Survey. Stringent pre-discovery...
Massive stars in the hinterland of the young cluster, Westerlund 2
An unsettled question concerning the formation and distribution of massive stars is whether they must be born in massive clusters and, if found in less dense...
MATLAS-42, a globular cluster-rich ultra-diffuse galaxy that diverges from the 'failed galaxy' formation pathway
To date, there has been significant interest in globular cluster (GC)-rich ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) and the evidence that they have formed via an...
Measurement of the extragalactic background light using MAGIC and Fermi-LAT gamma-ray observations of blazars up to z = 1
We present a measurement of the extragalactic background light (EBL) based on a joint likelihood analysis of 32 gamma-ray spectra for 12 blazars in the redshift...
Measurements of dust extinction in highly inclined spiral galaxies.
We study the extinction properties of dust in the well-defined dust lanes of four highly inclined galaxies using U-, B-, V-, R- and I-band CCD and J- and K'...
Measuring distances to galaxies with globular cluster velocity dispersions
Accurate distances are key to obtaining intrinsic properties of astronomical objects such as luminosity or size. Globular clusters (GCs) follow a well-defined...
Measuring fundamental jet properties with multiwavelength fast timing of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070
We present multiwavelength fast timing observations of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 (ASASSN-18ey), taken with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array...
