    The relationship between nuclear rings and the overall galaxy morphology
    Context. Nuclear rings are composed of gaseous material and/or stars and have a typical size ranging from 100 s pc to ~1 kpc. Their study is crucial to...

    The role of active galactic nucleus feedback on the evolution of dwarf galaxies from cosmological simulations: Supermassive black holes suppress star formation in low-mass galaxies
    Aims. Recent observational studies suggest that feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may play an important role in the formation and evolution of dwarf...

    The SAMI-Fornax Dwarfs Survey - IV. Star formation histories of dwarf and early-type galaxies: insights from full spectral fitting
    We present a study on the star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies covering the range 10 4 < M ⋆/M ⊙ < 10 12, leveraging full spectral fitting algorithms...

    The Scutum-Crux Complex: Tying massive stellar formation with the overall structure of the Milky Way
    With the discovery of several massive, young clusters in the last five years, the area around the base of the Scutum-Crux arm (around l=28) has become one of...

    The second-closest gamma-ray burst: sub-luminous GRB 111005A with no supernova in a super-solar metallicity environment
    We report the detection of the radio afterglow of a long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 111005A at 5-345 GHz, including very long baseline interferometry observations...

    The Star Formation & Chemical Evolution timescales of two nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies
    We present the detailed Star Formation History of the nearby Sculptor and Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxies, from wide-field photometry of resolved stars, going...
