Supermassive black hole wake or bulgeless edge-on galaxy?. II. Order-of-magnitude analysis of the two physical scenarios
Context. A recently discovered thin long object aligned with a nearby galaxy could be the stellar wake induced by the passage of a supermassive black hole (SMBH...
Surface abundances of CNO in Galactic O-stars: a pilot study with FASTWIND
Context. Rotational mixing is known to significantly affect the evolution of massive stars; however, we still lack a consensus regarding the various possible...
Context. Massive stars burn hydrogen through the CNO cycle during most of their evolution. When mixing is efficient or when mass transfer in binary systems...
Surface composition and dynamical evolution of two retrograde objects in the outer solar system: 2008 YB3 and 2005 VD
Most of the objects in the trans-Neptunian belt (TNb) and related populations move in prograde orbits with low eccentricity and inclination. However, the list...
Surface density of extremely red objects with R - J ≥ 5
We present the results of a wide-field survey for extremely red objects (EROs), based on J and R band imaging. The survey covers 2.89 deg2, consisting of 50...
Surface-brightness fluctuations in stellar populations. IAC-star models for the optical and near-IR wavelengths
Aims.A new theoretical calibration of surface-brightness fluctuations (SBF) for single age, single metallicity stellar populations is presented for the optical...
Survey of Surveys. I. The largest compilation of radial velocities for the Galaxy
Context. In the present-day panorama of large spectroscopic surveys, the amount, diversity, and complexity of the available data continuously increase. The...
