PublicaciónA Novel Iterative Scheme for the Very Fast and Accurate Solution of Non-LTE Radiative Transfer Problems
Iterative schemes based on Gauss-Seidel (G-S) and optimal successive over-relaxation (SOR) iteration are shown to provide a dramatic increase in the speed with...

PublicaciónA numerical study of interactions and stellar bars
For several decades, it has been known that stellar bars in disc galaxies can be triggered by interactions, or by internal processes such as dynamical...

PublicaciónA physically motivated definition for the size of galaxies in an era of ultradeep imaging
Present-day multiwavelength deep imaging surveys allow to characterize the outskirts of galaxies with unprecedented precision. Taking advantage of this...

PublicaciónA polarized fast radio burst at low Galactic latitude
We report on the discovery of a new fast radio burst (FRB), FRB 150215, with the Parkes radio telescope on 2015 February 15. The burst was detected in real time...

PublicaciónA prescription for the conditional mass function of dark matter haloes
The unconditional mass function (UMF) of dark matter haloes has been determined accurately in the literature, showing excellent agreement with high-resolution...

PublicaciónA refined sub-grid model for black hole accretion and AGN feedback in large cosmological simulations
In large-scale cosmological hydrodynamic simulations simplified sub-grid models for gas accretion on to black holes and AGN feedback are commonly used. Such...

PublicaciónA rigorous comparison of different planet detection algorithms
The idea of finding extrasolar planets (ESPs) through observations of drops in stellar brightness due to transiting objects has been around for decades. It has...

PublicaciónA robust method for the analysis of integrated spectra from globular clusters using Lick indices
We define a method for the analysis of the integrated spectra of extragalactic globular clusters that provides more reliable measures of the age, metallicity...
