We have developed a method for finding dynamical resonances in disk galaxies using the change in sense of the radial component of the in-plane velocity at a...
Intermediate Resolution Near-infrared Spectroscopy of 36 Late M Dwarfs
We present observations of 36 late M dwarfs obtained with the Keck II/NIRSPEC in the J band at a resolution of ~20,000. We have measured projected rotational...
Intermediate-mass stars and the origin of the gas-giant planet-metallicity correlation
Context. Currently, the number of known planets around intermediate-mass stars (1.5 M ⊙ < M ⋆ < 3.5 M ⊙) is rather low. As a consequence, models of planet...
Intermediate-resolution spectropolarimetry of 3C 273
Spectropolarimetric observations of the quasar 3C 273 over the range 3200-8000 A show wavelength-dependent polarization in the continuum, while the lines had no...
Intermediate-resolution spectropolarimetry of a small sample of quasars
We present spectropolarimetric observations of a sample of three quasars selected because of their very different broad-band polarization properties. All of the...
Intermittent Dust Mass Loss from Activated Asteroid P/2013 P5 (PANSTARRS)
We present observations and models of the dust environment of activated asteroid P/2013 P5 (PANSTARRS). The object displayed a complex morphology during the...
Intermittent Reconnection and Plasmoids in UV Bursts in the Low Solar Atmosphere
Magnetic reconnection is thought to drive a wide variety of dynamic phenomena in the solar atmosphere. Yet, the detailed physical mechanisms driving...
We show that the alteration between intervals of cyclic activity and grand minima like the Maunder minimum in the 17th century, which is characteristic for the...
Internal dynamics of Abell 1240: a galaxy cluster with symmetric double radio relics
Context: The mechanisms giving rise to diffuse radio emission in galaxy clusters, and in particular their connection with cluster mergers, are still debated...
