The optical rest-frame sizes of 10 of the most massive (~5 × 1011h-270Msolar) galaxies found in the near-infrared MUNICS survey at 1.2 z 1.7 are analysed...
We have analyzed bibliographical observational data and theoretical predictions, in order to probe the environment in which extremely metal-poor dwarf galaxies...
Context. Extremely metal-poor (XMP) galaxies are chemically, and possibly dynamically, primordial objects in the local Universe. Aims: Our objective is to...
Extremely metal-poor stars in classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Fornax, Sculptor, and Sextans
We present the results of a dedicated search for extremely metal-poor stars in the Fornax, Sculptor, and Sextans dSphs. Five stars were selected from two...
Extremely red galaxy counterparts to 7C radio sources
We present RIJHK imaging of seven radio galaxies from the 7C Redshift Survey (7CRS) which lack strong emission lines and we use these data to investigate their...
Fabry-Perot observations of the ionized gas in NGC 3938
The nearly face-on spiral galaxy NGC 3938 has been observed in the H_alpha line with the TAURUS II Fabry-Perot interferometer at the William Herschel Telescope...
Fabry-Perot observations of the ionized gas in the spiral galaxy NGC 6951
We present two dimensional kinematic observations at high angular and velocity resolution measured via the Hα emission line in the active barred spiral NGC 6951...
Fabry-Perot spectroscopy: a powerful method for detecting superbubbles in galaxy discs
We present a new method for the detection and characterization of large scale expansion in galaxy discs based on Hα Fabry-Perot spectroscopy, taking advantage...
