Young stellar bars in disk galaxies experience a vertical buckling instability that terminates their growth and thickens them, resulting in a characteristic...
Why do some ultra diffuse Galaxies have rich globular cluster systems?
Some ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) reveal many more globular clusters (GCs) than classical dwarf galaxies of the same stellar mass. These UDGs, with a mass in...
Context. The Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) was used to select a sample of 211 central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNe) with good-quality astrometric measurements...
Wide companions to M and L subdwarfs with Gaia and the Virtual Observatory
Aims: The aim of the project is to identify wide common proper motion companions to a sample of spectroscopically confirmed M and L metal-poor dwarfs (also...
Wide-field optical imaging on ELAIS N1, ELAIS N2, First Look Survey and Lockman Hole: observations and source catalogues
We present u-, g-, r-, i- and z-band optical images and associated catalogues taken primarily with the Isaac Newton Telescope Wide Field Camera on the European...
Wide-field Precision Kinematics of the M87 Globular Cluster System
We present the most extensive combined photometric and spectroscopic study to date of the enormous globular cluster (GC) system around M87, the central giant...
Widely distributed exogenic materials of varying compositions and morphologies on asteroid (101955) Bennu
Using the multiband imager MapCam on board the OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft...
Widespread CO<SUB>2</SUB> and CO ices in the trans-Neptunian population revealed by JWST/DiSCo-TNOs
Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is one of the most abundant ices in the Solar System. It has been detected in giant planet atmospheres and on their moons, on and around...
Wind accretion in the massive X-ray binary 4U 2206+54: abnormally slow wind and a moderately eccentric orbit
Massive X-ray binaries are usually classified by the properties of the donor star in classical, supergiant and Be X-ray binaries, the main difference being the...
