We test the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) theory with the velocity dispersion profiles of Galactic globular clusters populating the outermost region of the Milky Way halo, where the Galactic acceleration is lower than the characteristic MOND acceleration a0. For this purpose, we constructed self-consistent, spherical models of stellar systems

Table 2 contains the information for the EW line-ratio calibrations. (2 data files).

The chemical composition of the gas and star formation rates (SFRs) in galaxies over cosmic time provide very important tools for understanding galaxy evolution. Although there are many studies at high redshift, they are rather scarce at lower redshifts. However, low redshift studies can provide important clues about the evolution of galaxies

We have noticed some mistakes in formulae (A2) and (A5) in the appendix of our paper. The errors are not present in the code used in the analysis and hence none of the plots or results is affected. The correct formulae are

We derive an exact (classical and quantum) expression for the entropy production of a finite system placed in contact with one or several finite reservoirs, each of which is initially described by a canonical equilibrium distribution. Although the total entropy of system plus reservoirs is conserved, we show that system entropy production is always

The 11408 targets observed by CoRoT were selected using the information gathered in the database Exo-Dat (Deleuil et al. 2009AJ....138..649D; Meunier et al. 2007, ASP Conf., 376, 339), built with dedicated ground based photometric observations in the visible and near IR bands from 2MASS catalog.
