Descripción
We report on optical spectroscopy of the black hole candidate MAXI J1305-704 (ATel #4024; #4030) using SALT and the Robert Stobie Spectrograph. On 2012 April 15 (20:40-23:00 UTC) and 16 (22:30-01:40 UTC) we obtained 2 hrs of continuous spectroscopy using a slit width of 0.6 arcsec, resulting in a wavelength coverage of 4050-5100 Angstrom and a resolving power of approximately 6000. According to the online MAXI monitoring of the source, it was in the high soft state.

    The effect of local and large scale environment on star formation histories in galaxies
    The environment of galaxies plays a key role in their evolution. The availability of large extragalactic surveys makes it possible to place a galaxy not only in its immediate environment, but also in its position within the large-scale structure of the universe. Within this context, we investigate how the local environment influences the star

    The role of AGN feedback on the evolution of dwarf galaxies from cosmological simulations: SMBHs suppress star formation in low-mass galaxies
    Recent observational studies suggest that feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may play an important role in the formation and evolution of low-mass dwarf galaxies, an issue that has received little attention from a theoretical perspective. We investigate this using two sets of 12 cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of the

    Using gas kinematics to measure resonant structures in disc galaxies: the interaction of M51 with NGC 5195
    Interstellar gas offers advantages when quantifying the structure of the resonances in disc galaxies. The gas is concentrated close to the disc mid-plane, making it easier to determine its in-plane velocity components, and it offers sharp emission lines for good velocity resolution. These properties are shared by atomic, molecular, and ionized gas
