Helioseismic inversion techniques have been revealed as powerful tools for inferring the internal structure and dynamics of the Sun. One of the most popular...
A novel framework for semi-Bayesian radial velocities through template matching
Context. The ability to detect and characterise an increasing variety of exoplanets has been made possible by the continuous development of stable, high...
A Novel Iterative Scheme for the Very Fast and Accurate Solution of Non-LTE Radiative Transfer Problems
Iterative schemes based on Gauss-Seidel (G-S) and optimal successive over-relaxation (SOR) iteration are shown to provide a dramatic increase in the speed with...
A numerical study of interactions and stellar bars
For several decades, it has been known that stellar bars in disc galaxies can be triggered by interactions, or by internal processes such as dynamical...
A physically motivated definition for the size of galaxies in an era of ultradeep imaging
Present-day multiwavelength deep imaging surveys allow to characterize the outskirts of galaxies with unprecedented precision. Taking advantage of this...
A polarized fast radio burst at low Galactic latitude
We report on the discovery of a new fast radio burst (FRB), FRB 150215, with the Parkes radio telescope on 2015 February 15. The burst was detected in real time...
A prescription for the conditional mass function of dark matter haloes
The unconditional mass function (UMF) of dark matter haloes has been determined accurately in the literature, showing excellent agreement with high-resolution...
A refined sub-grid model for black hole accretion and AGN feedback in large cosmological simulations
In large-scale cosmological hydrodynamic simulations simplified sub-grid models for gas accretion on to black holes and AGN feedback are commonly used. Such...
A rigorous comparison of different planet detection algorithms
The idea of finding extrasolar planets (ESPs) through observations of drops in stellar brightness due to transiting objects has been around for decades. It has...
