The five globular clusters (GCs) of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy are puzzling for two reasons; the mass in GCs is high with respect to the galaxy's old...

PublicationA dynamical view on stellar metallicity gradient diversity across the Hubble sequence with CALIFA
We analyse radial stellar metallicity and kinematic profiles out to 1Re in 244 CALIFA galaxies ranging from morphological type E to Sd, to study the...

PublicationA fast bar in the post-interaction galaxy NGC 1023
We measured the bar pattern speed, Ωp , of the SB0 galaxy NGC 1023 using the Tremaine-Weinberg method with stellar-absorption slit spectroscopy. The morphology...

PublicationA feasibility study on the photometric detection of quiescent black hole X-ray binaries
We investigate the feasibility of detecting quiescent black hole X-ray binaries using optical photometric techniques. To test this, we employ a combination of r...

PublicationA feather on the hat: tracing the giant stellar stream around the Sombrero galaxy
Recent evidence of extremely metal-rich stars found in the Sombrero galaxy (M104) halo suggests that this galaxy has undergone a recent major merger with a...

PublicationA first catalogue of automatically selected ultraviolet-excess sources from the UVEX survey
We present the first catalogue of point-source ultraviolet (UV)-excess sources selected from the UV-Excess Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (UVEX). UVEX...

PublicationA flickering study of nova-like systems KR Aur and UU Aqr
We present a study of the flickering activity in two nova-like systems, KR Aur and UU Aqr. We applied a statistical model of flickering simulations in accretion...

PublicationA galaxy-driven model of type Ia supernova luminosity variations
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are used as standardizable candles to measure cosmological distances, but differences remain in their corrected luminosities which...

PublicationA Gemini snapshot survey for double degenerates
We present the results from a Gemini snapshot radial-velocity survey of 44 low-mass white-dwarf candidates selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)...
