We show that the rotation curves of 16 nearby disc galaxies in the THINGS sample and the Milky Way can be described by the Navarro-Frenk-White halo model and by...
The Type II-plateau Supernova 2017eaw in NGC 6946 and Its Red Supergiant Progenitor
We present extensive optical photometric and spectroscopic observations, from 4 to 482 days after explosion, of the Type II-plateau (II-P) supernova (SN)...
The UK Infrared Telescope M 33 monitoring project - V. The star formation history across the galactic disc
We have conducted a near-infrared monitoring campaign at the UK Infrared Telescope of the Local Group spiral galaxy M 33 (Triangulum). On the basis of their...
The ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 1313 X-2. Its optical counterpart and environment
NGC 1313 X-2 is one of the brightest ultraluminous X-ray sources in the sky, at both X-ray and optical wavelengths; therefore, quite a few studies of available...
The ultraluminous X-ray sources in the high-velocity system of NGC1275
We report the results of a study of X-ray point sources coincident with the high-velocity system (HVS) projected in front of NGC1275. A very deep X-ray image of...
The ultraviolet luminosity function of star-forming galaxies between redshifts of 0.6 and 1.2
We use ultraviolet (UV) imaging taken with the XMM-Newton Optical Monitor telescope (XMM-OM), covering 280 arcmin 2 in the UVW1 band (λ eff = 2910 Å) to measure...
The ultraviolet to far-infrared spectral energy distribution of star-forming galaxies in the redshift desert
We analyse the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (near-IR) spectral energy distribution (SED) of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs), star-forming (SF) BzK...
The ultraviolet upturn in brightest cluster galaxies
This paper is part of a series devoted to the investigation of a large sample of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), their properties and the relationships...
