A fast bar in the post-interaction galaxy NGC 1023
We measured the bar pattern speed, Ωp , of the SB0 galaxy NGC 1023 using the Tremaine-Weinberg method with stellar-absorption slit spectroscopy. The morphology...
Astrochemical models are important tools to interpret observations of molecular and atomic species in different environments. However, these models are time...

A fast version of the k-means classification algorithm for astronomical applications
Context. K-means is a clustering algorithm that has been used to classify large datasets in astronomical databases. It is an unsupervised method, able to cope...
A fast, very-high-energy γ-ray flare from BL Lacertae during a period of multi-wavelength activity in June 2015
The mechanisms producing fast variability of the γ-ray emission in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are under debate. The MAGIC telescopes detected a fast, very...
A feasibility study on the photometric detection of quiescent black hole X-ray binaries
We investigate the feasibility of detecting quiescent black hole X-ray binaries using optical photometric techniques. To test this, we employ a combination of r...
A feather on the hat: tracing the giant stellar stream around the Sombrero galaxy
Recent evidence of extremely metal-rich stars found in the Sombrero galaxy (M104) halo suggests that this galaxy has undergone a recent major merger with a...
A few StePS forward in unveiling the complexity of galaxy evolution: light-weighted stellar ages of intermediate-redshift galaxies with WEAVE
Context. The upcoming new generation of optical spectrographs on four-meter-class telescopes, with their huge multiplexing capabilities, excellent spectral...
