    On the binary nature of the γ-ray sources AGL J2241+4454 (= MWC 656) and HESS J0632+057 (= MWC 148)
    We present optical spectroscopy of MWC 656 and MWC 148, the proposed optical counterparts of the γ-ray sources AGL J2241+4454 and HESS J0632+057, respectively...

    On the bright end of the UV luminosity functions of galaxies at z 0.6-1.2
    We derive the ultraviolet (UV) luminosity function (LF) of star-forming galaxies in the redshift range z = 0.6-1.2, in the rest-frame far-UV (1500 Å) wavelength...

    On the dearth of C-enhanced metal-poor stars in the galactic bulge
    The chemical fingerprints of the first stars are retained within the photospheres of ancient unevolved metal-poor stars. A significant fraction of these stellar...

    On the determination of the He abundance distribution in globular clusters from the width of the main sequence
    One crucial piece of information to study the origin of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters is the range of initial helium abundances ΔY amongst...

    On the dust properties of the UV galaxies in the redshift range z 0.6-1.2
    Far-infrared observations from the Herschel Space Observatory are used to estimate the infrared (IR) properties of ultraviolet-selected galaxies. We stack the...

    On the early evolution of Local Group dwarf galaxy types: star formation and supernova feedback
    According to star formation histories (SFHs), Local Group dwarf galaxies can be broadly classified in two types: those forming most of their stars before z = 2...

    On the electron temperatures in high-metallicity HII regions
    The electron temperatures of high-metallicity [12 + log(O/H) > 8.2] HII regions have been studied. The empirical flux-flux relations which express the nebular...

    On the estimation of galaxy structural parameters: the Sérsic model
    This paper addresses some questions which have arisen from the use of the Sérsic r1/n law in modelling the luminosity profiles of early-type galaxies. The first...

    On the evolution of ejecta fragments in compact supernova remnants.
    The authors examine the evolution of inhomogeneities (fragments) of supernova ejecta in compact supernova remnants by means of hydrodynamical modelling and...
