  • LITTLE THINGS in 3D: robust determination of the circular velocity of dwarf irregular galaxies
    Dwarf irregular galaxies (dIrrs) are the smallest stellar systems with extended H i discs. The study of the kinematics of such discs is a powerful tool to estimate the total matter distribution at these very small scales. In this work, we study the H i kinematics of 17 galaxies extracted from the 'Local Irregulars That Trace Luminosity Extremes

  • High Dense Gas Fraction in a Gas-rich Star-forming Galaxy at z = 1.2
    We report observations of dense molecular gas in the star-forming galaxy EGS 13004291 (z = 1.197) using the Plateau de Bure Interferometer. We tentatively detect HCN and HNC J=2\to 1 emission when stacked together at 4σ significance, yielding line luminosities of {L}{HCN(J=2\to 1)}\prime =(9+/- 3)× {10}9 K km s‑1 pc2 and {L}{HNC(J=2\to 1)}\prime =

  • Discovery of wide low and very low-mass binary systems using Virtual Observatory tools
    The frequency of multiple systems and their properties are key constraints of stellar formation and evolution. Formation mechanisms of very low-mass (VLM) objects are still under considerable debate, and an accurate assessment of their multiplicity and orbital properties is essential for constraining current theoretical models. Taking advantage of

  • Discovery of Scattering Polarization in the Hydrogen Lyα Line of the Solar Disk Radiation
    There is a thin transition region (TR) in the solar atmosphere where the temperature rises from 10,000 K in the chromosphere to millions of degrees in the corona. Little is known about the mechanisms that dominate this enigmatic region other than the magnetic field plays a key role. The magnetism of the TR can only be detected by polarimetric

  • Charged-particle nuclear modification factors in PbPb and pPb collisions at √{s_{NN}}=5.02 TeV
    The spectra of charged particles produced within the pseudorapidity window | η| 1 at √{s_{NN}}=5.02 TeV are measured using 404 μb-1 of PbPb and 27.4 pb-1 of pp data collected by the CMS detector at the LHC in 2015. The spectra are presented over the transverse momentum ranges spanning 0 .5 p T 400 GeV in pp and 0 .7 p T 400 GeV in PbPb

  • APOGEE chemical abundances of globular cluster giants in the inner Galaxy
    We report chemical abundances obtained by Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-III/Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment for giant stars in five globular clusters located within 2.2 kpc of the Galactic Centre. We detect the presence of multiple stellar populations in four of those clusters (NGC 6553, NGC 6528, Terzan 5 and Palomar 6)
