Description
The spectroscopic parallaxes in the Hipparcos catalogue can be used to translate absolute stellar fluxes observed at Earth to the fluxes emerging at the stellar surface for nearby stars. The comparison of these fluxes with the predictions of theoretical model atmospheres allows us to determine the effective temperature and the metallicity of the stars. It is suggested that it is possible to study the stellar content of the solar neighbourhood making use of the large number of ultraviolet spectra in the archive of the IUE satellite.

    Using gas kinematics to measure resonant structures in disc galaxies: the interaction of M51 with NGC 5195
    Interstellar gas offers advantages when quantifying the structure of the resonances in disc galaxies. The gas is concentrated close to the disc mid-plane, making it easier to determine its in-plane velocity components, and it offers sharp emission lines for good velocity resolution. These properties are shared by atomic, molecular, and ionized gas

    The role of AGN feedback on the evolution of dwarf galaxies from cosmological simulations: SMBHs suppress star formation in low-mass galaxies
    Recent observational studies suggest that feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may play an important role in the formation and evolution of low-mass dwarf galaxies, an issue that has received little attention from a theoretical perspective. We investigate this using two sets of 12 cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of the

    Localised and transient impact of nuclear activity on the central kiloparsec of galaxies
    Observational and theoretical evidence supports the idea that the influence of supermassive black hole growth on galaxies extends from the central tens of parsecs (localised, transient impact) to hundreds of kiloparsecs (global, long-term impact). Because of the completely different scales of these localised and global effects on the host galaxies
