    The jet-powered optical nebula of Cygnus X-1
    We present Hα and [OIII] (5007 Å) images of the nebula powered by the jet of the black hole candidate and microquasar Cygnus X-1, observed with the 2.5-m Isaac...

    The K2 Galactic Caps Project - going beyond the Kepler field and ageing the Galactic disc
    Analyses of data from spectroscopic and astrometric surveys have led to conflicting results concerning the vertical characteristics of the Milky Way. Ages are...

    The Kepler view of γ Doradus stars
    Visual classification of over 10 000 stars in the Kepler data base has revealed a class of stars with almost monoperiodic light variations and characteristic...

    The kinematic behaviour of optical recombination lines and collisionally excited lines in Galactic planetary nebulae*†
    The kinematics of the plasma in 14 planetary nebulae (PNe) is analysed by measuring the expansion velocities (Vexp) of different ions as derived from their...

    The kinematics of massive high-redshift dusty star-forming galaxies
    We present a new method for modelling the kinematics of galaxies from interferometric observations by performing the optimization of the kinematic model...

    The Large Magellanic Cloud as a laboratory for hot bottom burning in massive asymptotic giant branch stars
    We use Spitzer observations of the rich population of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) to test models describing the...

    The last breath of the young gigahertz-peaked spectrum radio source PKS1518+047
    We present the results from multifrequency VLBA observations from 327MHz to 8.4GHz of the gigahertz-peaked spectrum radio source PKS1518+047 (4C04.51) aimed at...

    The lens SW05 J143454.4+522850: a fossil group at redshift 0.6?
    Fossil groups are considered the end product of natural galaxy group evolution in which group members sink towards the centre of the gravitational potential due...

    The Local Group Census: searching for planetary nebulae in IC 1613, WLM and GR8
    In the framework of the Local Group Census (LGC), a survey of the Local Group (LG) galaxies above Dec =-30° aimed at surveying the populations that have strong...
