    Appearances can be deceiving: clear signs of accretion in the seemingly ordinary Sextans dSph
    We report the discovery of clear observational signs of past accretion/merger events in one of the Milky Way satellite galaxies, the Sextans dwarf spheroidal...

    Are C60 Molecules Detectable in Circumstellar Shells of R Coronae Borealis Stars?
    The hydrogen-poor, helium-rich, and carbon-rich character of the gas around R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars has been suggested to be a site for formation of C60...

    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...

    Arm and interarm abundance gradients in CALIFA spiral galaxies
    Spiral arms are the most singular features in disc galaxies. These structures can exhibit different patterns, namely grand design and flocculent arms, with...
