We investigated by means of Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer/Very Large Telescope (MUSE/VLT) observations the true size of the coronal line region (CLR) in a local sample of nine active galactic nuclei (AGNs) known for displaying prominent coronal emission. Our analysis show that the CLR is extended from several hundred parsecs to a few

Aims. We present an analysis of the emitters (Hα, Hβ, and [O II]) from the OTELO survey, in order to characterize the star formation properties of low-mass galaxies (< 10 9 M ⊙ stellar masses). Methods. We calculated the specific star formation rate function, the stellar mass function, and, by integrating them, the associated densities for both

The SiTian project, designed to utilize 60 telescopes distributed across multiple sites in China, is a next-generation time-domain survey initiative. As a pathfinder for the SiTian project, the Mini-SiTian (MST) has been proposed and implemented to test the SiTian's brain and data pipeline, and to evaluate the feasibility of its technology and

We acquired 450 and 850 μm dust continuum polarization observations toward the inner region of the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) as part of the B-Fields In Star-forming Region Observations survey using the POL-2 polarimeter on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. These observations encompassed three dense structures: the 20 km s ‑1 cloud (20MC), 50 km

Aims. Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) are highly magnetised neutron stars (magnetars) notable for their gamma-ray and X-ray outbursts. We used near-infrared (NIR) imaging of SGR 0501+4516 in the days, weeks, and years after its 2008 outburst to characterise the multi-wavelength emission, and to obtain a proper motion from our long temporal baseline

Stars are mostly found in binary and multiple systems, as at least 50% of all solar-like stars have companions - a fraction that goes up to 100% for the most massive stars. Moreover, a large fraction of them will interact in some way or another over the course of their lives. Such interactions can, and often will, alter the structure and evolution
