Are dry mergers dry, moist or wet?
We present a spectral analysis of a sample of red-sequence galaxies identified by van Dokkum as dry merger remnants and ongoing dry mergers. Kinematics, stellar...
Are extreme asymptotic giant branch stars post-common envelope binaries?
Modelling dust formation in single stars evolving through the carbon-star stage of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) reproduces well the mid-infrared colours...
Are luminous radio-loud active galactic nuclei triggered by galaxy interactions?
We present the results of a comparison between the optical morphologies of a complete sample of 46 southern 2 Jy radio galaxies at intermediate redshifts (0.05...
Are Q-stars a serious threat for stellar-mass black hole candidates?
We examine the status of the threat posed to stellar-mass black hole candidates by the possible existence of Q-stars (compact objects with an exotic equation of...
Arm-interarm gas abundance variations explored with MUSE: the role of spiral structure in the chemical enrichment of galaxies
Spiral arms are the most characteristic features of disc galaxies, easily distinguishable due to their association with ongoing star formation. However, the...
Arp 70: an interacting galaxy with extreme outflows
We analysed a Fabry-Pérot (FP) cube of the interacting pair of galaxies Arp 70, which was obtained from the CeSAM public repository of FP data. On the larger...
ASASSN–14dx: a cataclysmic variable harbouring a massive pulsating white dwarf
We present the results of our study of ASASSN–14dx, a previously known but poorly characterized cataclysmic variable (CV). The source was observed as part of an...
Ask the machine: systematic detection of wind-type outflows in low-mass X-ray binaries
The systematic discovery of outflows in the optical spectra of low-mass X-ray binaries opened a new avenue for the study of the outburst evolution in these...
The growth channel of massive galaxies involving mergers can be studied via close pairs as putative merger progenitors, where the stellar populations of the...
