    Do spiral arms enhance star formation efficiency?
    Spiral arms, as those of our own Milky Way, are some of the most spectacular features in disc galaxies. It has been argued that star formation should proceed...

    Dust in the Reionization Era: ALMA Observations of a z = 8.38 Gravitationally Lensed Galaxy
    We report on the detailed analysis of a gravitationally lensed Y-band dropout, A2744_YD4, selected from deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging in the Frontier...

    Dust-obscured star formation in the outskirts of XMMU J2235.3-2557, a massive galaxy cluster at z = 1.4
    Star formation (SF) in the galaxy populations of local massive clusters is reduced with respect to field galaxies, and tends to be suppressed in the core region...

    Dynamical simulations of the interacting galaxies in the NGC 520/UGC 957 system
    Numerical simulations of the interacting galaxies in the NGC 520/UGC 957 system are presented. Two sets of models were produced to investigate the postulated...

    Electron densities in HII regions across galaxy discs
    When we measure the electron density within an H II region using ratios of emission lines we find characteristic values in the range of 100-300 cm -3. But when...
