Descripción
NGC 5982 is known to be one of those elliptical galaxies that have peculiar kinematics in their centres. In this paper, optical spectroscopic observations are presented, which show that a specific feature is present in the velocity field of NGC 5982. This suggests that the kinematical behaviour is the result of projection effects in a dynamically smooth triaxial elliptical galaxy, and that it is not due to a dynamically distinct, central mass component. Nevertheless, we suggest that it may be related to a merger event.

    Radial gradients of CO absorptions and abundance ratios in the bulge of M31
    We present new H- and K-band spectroscopy for the bulge of M31, taken with the LUCI spectrograph at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). We studied radial trends of CO absorption features (namely, CO1.58, CO1.60, CO1.64, CO1.66, CO1.68, CO2.30, CO2.32, and CO2.35) in the bulge of M31, out to a galactocentric distance of ∼100″ (∼380 pc). We find

    A 20 kiloparsec bipolar Lyman α outflow from a radio galaxy at z = 2.95
    The study of ionized gas kinematics in high-z active galaxies plays a key part in our understanding of galactic evolution, in an age where nuclear activity was widespread and star formation close to its peak. We present a study of TXS 0952−217, a radio galaxy at z = 2.95, using VLT/MUSE integral field optical spectroscopy as part of a project aimed

    Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal). I. The formation and evolution of the thin disc from the Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars
    Context. The study of the Milky Way is living a golden era thanks to the enormous high-quality datasets delivered by Gaia, and space asteroseismic and ground-based spectroscopic surveys. However, the current major challenge to reconstructing the chronology of the Milky Way is the difficulty to derive precise stellar ages for large samples of stars
