Context. Nearby clusters of galaxies, z ≲ 0.1, are cosmic structures still under formation. Understanding the thermodynamic properties of merging clusters can...

Recent observations have detected galaxies at high-redshift z∼ 6{--}11, and revealed the diversity of their physical properties, from normal star-forming...

Andredakis et al. (cite{r3}) fit Sersic's law mu (r) ~ r1/n to the bulges of the Balcells & Peletier (cite{r5}) galaxy sample, and infer that n drops with...

Context: .Satellite accretion events have been invoked for mimicking the internal secular evolutionary processes of bulge growth. However, N-body simulations of...

Massive stars are fundamental drivers of the Universe because of their injection of energy, momentum, and nuclear-processed material in every stage of their...

Very Large Array7 neutral hydrogen observations of the shell elliptical galaxy NGC 3656 reveal an edge-on, warped minor-axis gaseous disk (MHI~2×109 Msolar)...

We present here new spectroscopic observations of Mrk 1040 and LEDA 212995 (Mrk 1040 companion) obtained with the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT). The intensity...

This paper presents the distribution of ionized gas in the disk and circumnuclear region of a sample of 55 galaxies with active nuclei, Seyfert galaxies of type...

This paper presents the second part of an extensive study of the properties of the H II region population in a sample of spiral galaxies with active nucleus...
