The question of which estimator of the two-point correlation function has the smallest sampling error is discussed. An expression is given for this smallest...
Sampling methods for stellar masses and the mmax-Mecl relation in the starburst dwarf galaxy NGC 4214
It has been claimed in the recent literature that a non-trivial relation between the mass of the most-massive star, mmax, in a star cluster and its embedded...
San Pedro Mártir observations of microvariability in obscured quasars
Fast brightness variations are a unique tool to probe the innermost regions of active galactic nuclei (AGN). These variations are called microvariability or...
SAO 244567 - A post-AGB star which has turned into a planetary nebula within the last 40 years
SAO 244567 (Hen 1357 = CPD -59 deg 6926 = IRAS 17119-5926) is an IRAS source with far infrared colors and flux distribution similar to those of planetary...
Sardinia Radio Telescope observations of Abell 194. The intra-cluster magnetic field power spectrum
Aims: We study the intra-cluster magnetic field in the poor galaxy cluster Abell 194 by complementing radio data, at different frequencies, with data in the...
Sardinia Radio Telescope observations of the Coma cluster
We present deep total intensity and polarization observations of the Coma cluster at 1.4 and 6.6 GHz performed with the Sardinia Radio Telescope. By combining...
Satellite galaxies around present-day massive ellipticals
Using the spectroscopic New York University Value-Added Galaxy Catalogue and the photometric photo-z catalogues of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7...
Satellite-Detected Carbon Monoxide Pollution during 2000–2012: Examining Global Trends and also Regional Anthropogenic Periods over China, the EU and the USA
In this paper, we test if any statistically significant periodicities are detectable in carbon monoxide emissions over China, the European Union, and the United...
Satellites around Massive Galaxies Since z ~ 2: Confronting the Millennium Simulation with Observations
Minor merging has been postulated as the most likely evolutionary path to produce the increase in size and mass observed in the massive galaxies since z ~ 2. In...
