Description
The near-UV NH3360 feature has been measured in a sample of 35 early-type galaxies spanning a wide range of masses and environments. We found that, contrary to what is seen with Mg- and C-sensitive Lick-style indices, NH3360 does not vary significantly with galaxy velocity dispersion. When compared with solar-scaled stellar population models N/Fe appears mildly enhanced. We do not detect any difference in the NH3360 index between galaxies in different environments. We outline the important implications of these conclusions for our understanding of the origin of carbon and nitrogen, and the star formation histories of early-type galaxies.

    Application of Bayesian Inference to disentangle CMB foregrounds
    Both Galactic dust emission and Cosmic infrared background anisotropies (CIB) act as a dominant foreground contaminant for the measurements of the CMB anisotropies (intensity and polarization) at the frequency range above 217 GHz. The Galactic dust and CIB share a similar form of spectral energy distribution, which makes it harder to disentangle

    Constraining stellar and orbital co-evolution through ensemble seismology of solar-like oscillators in binary systems
    The evolution of stars and their hosting binary systems is a highly interactive process and cannot be investigated in a segregated manner. Due to the constraints drawn by stellar binarity, oscillating red-giant stars in binary systems represent a unique opportunity to study the details of the structure and evolution of stars in the advanced phases

    Triple-Double Radio Galaxies: Clues for understanding recurrent AGN activity
    Using LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS), we discovered three cycles of episodic jet activity (J1225+4011, Chavan et al. 2023, MNRAS) in a giant radio galaxy, which is an extremely rare class of restarted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), making it only fourth of its kind. It is also called 'Triple-Double Radio Galaxy' (TDRG). J1225+4011 extends up to
