    Understanding the extreme luminosity of DES14X2fna
    We present DES14X2fna, a high-luminosity, fast-declining Type IIb supernova (SN IIb) at redshift z = 0.0453, detected by the Dark Energy Survey (DES)...

    UNIT project: Universe N-body simulations for the Investigation of Theoretical models from galaxy surveys
    We present the UNIT N-body cosmological simulations project, designed to provide precise predictions for non-linear statistics of the galaxy distribution. We...

    UNITSIM-Galaxies: data release and clustering of emission-line galaxies
    New surveys such as European Space Agencys (ESA's) Euclid mission are planned to map with unprecedented precision the large-scale structure of the Universe by...

    Unravelling the mass spectrum of destroyed dwarf galaxies with the metallicity distribution function
    Accreted stellar populations are comprised of the remnants of destroyed galaxies, and often dominate the 'stellar haloes' of galaxies such as the Milky Way (MW)...

    Unravelling the nature of the dual AGN in the galaxy pair system IRAS 05589+2828 and 2MASX J06021107 + 2828382
    We have studied the nuclear region of the previously detected dual AGN system in the galaxy pair IRAS 05589 + 2828 and 2MASX J06021107 + 2828382, through new...

    Unravelling the origins of S0 galaxies using maximum likelihood analysis of planetary nebulae kinematics
    To investigate the origins of S0 galaxies, we present a new method of analysing their stellar kinematics from discrete tracers such as planetary nebulae. This...

    Unresolved Rossby and gravity modes in 214 A and F stars showing rotational modulation
    Here, we report an ensemble study of 214 A- and F-type stars observed by Kepler, exhibiting the so-called hump and spike periodic signal, explained by Rossby...

    Unusual high-frequency oscillations in the Kepler δ Scuti star KIC 4840675
    We show that the star KIC 4840675 observed by Kepler is composed of three stars with a rapidly rotating A-type star and two solar-type fainter companions. The A...

    Unveiling the (in)consistencies among the galaxy stellar mass function, star formation histories, satellite abundances, and intracluster light from a semi-empirical perspective
    In a hierarchical, dark matter-dominated Universe, stellar mass functions (SMFs), galaxy merger rates, star formation histories (SFHs), satellite abundances...
