We have developed a generalization of the Zeldovich approximation that is exact in a wide variety of situations, including planar, spherical, and cylindrical...
The correlation structure of dark matter halo properties
We investigate the correlation between nine different dark matter halo properties using a rank correlation analysis and a Principal Component Analysis for a...
The COSMOS-Web ring: In-depth characterization of an Einstein ring lensing system at z ∼ 2
Aims: We provide an in-depth analysis of the COSMOS-Web ring, an Einstein ring at z ≈ 2 that we serendipitously discovered during the data reduction of the...
The Fast Spiral-in of the Companion Star to the Black Hole XTE J1118+480
We report the detection of an orbital period decay of dot{P}=-1.83+/- 0.66 ms yr-1 in the black hole X-ray binary XTE J1118+480. This corresponds to a period...
The Mark-I helioseismic experiment - I. Measurements of the solar gravitational redshift (1976-2013)
The resonant scattering solar spectrophotometer `Mark-I', designed and build at the University of Birmingham (UK) and located at the Observatorio del Teide...
The multiple routes of galaxy transformation across the cosmic epochs
In the local universe most of the stellar mass is in passive galaxies, where star formation isabsent or at very low levels. Understanding what are the...
The principle of maximum entropy explains the cores observed in the mass distribution of dwarf galaxies
Cold dark matter (CDM) simulations predict a central cusp in the mass distribution of galaxies. This prediction is in stark contrast with observations of dwarf...
Three sub-Jovian-mass microlensing planets: MOA-2022-BLG-563Lb, KMT-2023-BLG-0469Lb, and KMT-2023-BLG-0735Lb
Aims: We analyze the anomalies appearing in the light curves of the three microlensing events MOA-2022-BLG-563, KMT-2023-BLG-0469, and KMT-2023-BLG-0735. The...
Using globular clusters to test gravity in the weak acceleration regime: NGC 7099
Aims:A test of Newton's law of gravity in the low acceleration regime using globular clusters is presented and new results for the core collapsed globular...
