    The diverse cold molecular gas contents, morphologies, and kinematics of type-2 quasars as seen by ALMA
    We present CO(2−1) and adjacent continuum observations of seven nearby radio-quiet type-2 quasars (QSO2s) obtained with ALMA at ∼0.2″ resolution (370 pc at z ∼...

    The dominant role of mergers in the size evolution of massive early-type galaxies since z ~ 1
    Aims: The role of galaxy mergers in massive galaxy evolution, and in particular to mass assembly and size growth, remains an open question. In this paper we...

    The Doppler shift from zodiacal light
    A theory is outlined for analyzing the observed mean Doppler shift of Fraunhofer lines in the zodiacal light, assuming that the particle distribution in terms...

    The double low-mass white dwarf eclipsing binary system J2102-4145 and its possible evolution
    In recent years, about 150 low-mass white dwarfs (WDs), typically with masses below 0.4 M ⊙, have been discovered. The majority of these low-mass WDs are...
