We have observed the high excitation planetary nebulae NGC 7027, NGC 6543 and the low excitation planetaries Hu 2-1 and Cn 3-1 in the optical & near IR with the...
The isotopic ^6Li/^7Li ratio in Centaurus X-4 and the origin of Li in X-ray binaries
Context: Cool stars, companions to compact objects, are known to show Li abundances which are high compared to field stars of the same spectral type, which are...
The J-PAS survey: The effect of photometric redshift errors on cosmic voids
Aims. We investigated the impact of photometric redshift errors in the ongoing Javalambre Physics of the Accelerating Universe Astrophysical Survey (J-PAS) on...
Context. M31N 2015-01a (or M31LRN 2015) is a red nova that erupted in January 2015 - the first event of this kind observed in M 31 since 1988. Very few similar...
The JCMT Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey. VI. The distribution of gas and star formation in M 81
We present the first complete 12CO J = 3-2 map of M 81, observed as part of the Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey being carried out at the James Clerk Maxwell...
The JWST view of the barred galaxy population in the SMACS0723 galaxy cluster
Context. The cosmic evolution of the barred galaxy population provides key information about the secular evolution of galaxies and the settling of rotationally...
The K-band spectrum of the cataclysmic variable RXJ 0502.8+1624 (Tau 4)
We present the K-band spectrum of the cataclysmic variable RXJ 0502.8+1624 (Tau 4). The spectrum shows a broad, smooth hump, with no absorption lines from the...
The K-dwarf problem and the time-dependence of gaseous accretion to the Galactic disc
In this article we compare and contrast the predictions of models we have published previously, with the most recent observational data on the G-dwarf/K-dwarf...
The planetary system K2-24 is composed of two transiting low-density Neptunians locked in an almost perfect 2:1 resonance and showing large transit time...
