    Strength of the large-scale magnetic field in nearby galaxies versus their rotation speed
    Magnetic fields are present on all scales in the Universe from planets and stars to galaxies and galaxy clusters, and even at high redshifts. They are important...

    Submillimetre galaxies reside in dark matter haloes with masses greater than 3×10<sup>11</sup> solar masses.
    The extragalactic background light at far-infrared ( FIR) wavelengths comes from optically faint, dusty, star-forming galaxies in the Universe with star...

    Super Li-rich massive AGB stars.
    Low− and intermediate-mass (0.8 < M < 8 solar mass) stars constitute most of the stars in the Universe and they end their lives with a phase of strong mass loss...

    Supernovae and their expanding blast waves during the early evolution of Galactic globular clusters
    Our arguments deal with the early evolution of Galactic globular clusters and show why only a few of the supernovae products were retained within globular...

    Suppression of cooling by strong magnetic fields in white dwarf stars.
    Isolated cool white dwarf stars more often have strong magnetic fields than young, hotter white dwarfs which has been a puzzle because magnetic fields are...

    Temperature inhomogeneities cause the abundance discrepancy in H II regions
    H II regions are ionized nebulae associated with the formation of massive stars. They exhibit a wealth of emission lines in their spectra that form the basis...

    TESS satellite dates an ancient collision with our galaxy
    Earlier this year, a team of astrophysicists has revealed new insights on an ancient collision that our galaxy the Milky Way underwent with another smaller...

    Testing Einstein's equivalence principle at early cosmological epochs with quasar observations
    We perform a new test of Einstein's Equivalence Principle which, for the first time, extends to very early cosmological epochs (we have studied its validity in...

    Testing fundamental physics with ESPRESSO
    Many of the most basic and important physical phenomena are determined by a set of “fundamental constants”, whose values are experimentally known to high...
