We present preliminary results of VLT spectroscopy follow-up of Planetary Nebulae (PNe) and HII regions in the dwarf Irregular galaxy NGC 3109. In total we have...
Local PM10 concentrations in Augsburg (Germany) and their connection to large scale circulation types
Local concentrations of PM10 are affected on the one hand by the extent of natural and anthropogenic emissions of these air pollutants and as well by the level...

Tadpole galaxies have a giant star-forming region at the end of an elongated intensity distribution. The origin of this asymmetric structure is not known...
Localised and transient impact of nuclear activity on the central kiloparsec of galaxies
Observational and theoretical evidence supports the idea that the influence of supermassive black hole growth on galaxies extends from the central tens of...
