    NIR counterparts to ULXs (III): completing the photometric survey and selected spectroscopic results
    We present results from the remaining sources in our search for near-infrared (NIR) candidate counterparts to ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) within ≃10 Mpc...

    Nitrogen abundances of the Be-type stars in 30 Doradus
    A sub-set of the 67 Be-type stars observed in 30 Doradus during the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS) campaign have been analysed to estimate atmospheric...

    No evidence for a low-mass black hole in Swift J1753.5-0127
    We present high-resolution, time-resolved optical spectroscopy of the black hole X-ray transient Swift J1753.5-0127. Our optical spectra do not show features...

    No evidence for black hole spin powering of jets in X-ray binaries
    In this paper, we consider the reported measurements of black hole spin for black hole X-ray binaries and compare them against the measurements of jet power and...

    Nodal precession of WASP-33b for 11 yr by Doppler tomographic and transit photometric observations
    WASP-33b, a hot Jupiter around a hot star, is a rare system in which nodal precession has been discovered. We updated the model for the nodal precession of WASP...

    Noise from undetected sources in Dark Energy Survey images
    For ground-based optical imaging with current CCD technology, the Poisson fluctuations in source and sky background photon arrivals dominate the noise budget...

    Non-circular motion evidence in the circumnuclear region of M100 (NGC 4321)
    We analyse new integral-field spectroscopy of the inner region (central 2.5 kpc) of the spiral galaxy NGC 4321 to study the peculiar kinematics of this region...

    Non-Gaussianity in the Very Small Array cosmic microwave background maps with smooth goodness-of-fit tests
    We have used the Rayner and Best smooth tests of goodness-of-fit to study the Gaussianity of the Very Small Array (VSA) data. These tests are designed to be...

    Non-local contribution from small scales in galaxy-galaxy lensing: comparison of mitigation schemes
    Recent cosmological analyses with large-scale structure and weak lensing measurements, usually referred to as 3 × 2pt, had to discard a lot of signal to noise...
