Context. The source R Aquarii is a symbiotic binary surrounded by a large and complex nebula with a prominent curved jet. It is one of the closest known...
New insights into the role of AGNs in forming the cluster red sequence
As a considerable investment of time from various telescope facilities was dedicated toward studying the Spiderweb protocluster at z = 2.2, it so far remains...
New insights on Stephan's Quintet: exploring the shock in three dimensions
Aims: We study the ionized gas emission from the large scale shock region of Stephan's Quintet (SQ). Methods: We carried out integral field unit (IFU) optical...
Four time series of IRIS data (4 to 6 months) have been used to obtain improved measurements of the low degree (l=1,2,3) rotational splitting frequencies...
New Isolated Planetary-mass Objects and the Stellar and Substellar Mass Function of the σ Orionis Cluster
We report on our analysis of the VISTA Orion ZY JHKs photometric data (completeness magnitudes of Z = 22.6 and J = 21.0 mag) focusing on a circular area of 2798...
We present deep broadband R and narrowband Hα images of Stephan's Quintet. The observations in the R band show that the diffuse halo of Stephan's Quintet is...
New Light in Star-Forming Dwarf Galaxies: The PMAS Integral Field View of the Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy Mrk 409
We present an integral field spectroscopic study of the central 2 × 2 kpc2 of the blue compact dwarf galaxy Mrk 409, observed with the Potsdam MultiAperture...
New Light on an Old Problem of the Cores of Solar Resonance Lines
We reexamine a 50+ yr old problem of deep central reversals predicted for strong solar spectral lines, in contrast to the smaller reversals seen in observations...
