    The dust tail of Comet C/1999 T1 McNaught-Hartley
    A numerical method to compute cometary dust tail brightnesses has been developed. The method, analogous in many ways to the inverse Monte Carlo method proposed...

    The dust-gas AGN torus as constrained from X-ray and mid-infrared observations
    Context. In recent decades, several multiwavelength studies have been dedicated to exploring the properties of the obscuring material in active galactic nuclei...

    The dynamical and chemical evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies
    We present a large sample of fully self-consistent hydrodynamical Nbody/Tree-SPH simulations of isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). It has enabled us to...

    The dynamical state of RXCJ1230.7+3439: A multi-substructured merging galaxy cluster
    We analyse the kinematical and dynamical state of the galaxy cluster RXCJ1230.7+3439 (RXCJ1230), at z = 0.332 using 93 new spectroscopic redshifts of galaxies...

    The dynamical status of the cluster of galaxies 1E0657-56
    We present the results of a new spectroscopic and photometric survey of the hot X-ray cluster 1E0657-56, at z=0.296. We determine the presence of a low velocity...

    The dynamical status of the galaxy cluster Abell 115
    Aims:We present the results of a new spectroscopic and photometric survey of the hot, binary X-ray cluster A115 at z = 0.193, containing a radio relic. Methods...

    The early days of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy
    We present the high-resolution spectroscopic study of five -3.9 ≤ [Fe/H] ≤ -2.5 stars in the Local Group dwarf spheroidal, Sculptor, thereby doubling the number...

    The EBLM project. II. A very hot, low-mass M dwarf in an eccentric and long-period, eclipsing binary system from the SuperWASP Survey
    In this paper, we derive the fundamental properties of 1SWASPJ011351.29+314909.7 (J0113+31), a metal-poor (-0.40 ± 0.04 dex), eclipsing binary in an eccentric...

    The edge of the M 87 halo and the kinematics of the diffuse light in the Virgo cluster core
    Aims: We study the kinematics and dynamics of the extreme outer halo of M 87, the central galaxy in the Virgo cluster, and its transition to the intracluster...
