Black hole masses for 14 gravitationally lensed quasars
Aims: We have estimated black hole masses (M BH) for 14 gravitationally lensed quasars using Balmer lines; we also provide estimates based on MgII and CIV...
Black hole virial masses from single-epoch photometry. The miniJPAS test case
Context. Precise measurements of black hole masses are essential to understanding the coevolution of these sources and their host galaxies. Aims: We develop a...
Black Mirror: The impact of rotational broadening on the search for reflected light from 51 Pegasi b with high resolution spectroscopy
Context. The extreme contrast ratios between stars and their planets at optical wavelengths make it challenging to isolate the light reflected by exoplanet...
BlackCAT: A catalogue of stellar-mass black holes in X-ray transients
Aims: During the last ~50 years, the population of black hole candidates in X-ray binaries has increased considerably, with 59 Galactic objects being detected...
Blending the distinctions among groups of minor bodies: a portrait of the Centaur-comet "transition" object P/2010 C1 (Scotti)
Aims: We present a portrait of the active Centaur P/2010 C1 (Scotti), observed with a well developed comet-like activity (central diffuse coma condensation and...
Context. Galaxy superclusters are the largest systems in the Universe that can give us information about the formation and evolution of the cosmic web. Aims: We...
Bow-shocks and possible jet-shell interaction in the planetary nebula M 2-48
Deep narrow band CCD images in the Hα , [O Iii] lambda5007 Ä, [N Ii] lambda6584 Ä, and [S Ii] lambda6717 +31 Ä emission lines have been obtained for the...
Box- and peanut-shaped bulges. III. A new class of bulges: Thick Boxy Bulges
Inspecting all 1224 edge-on disk galaxies larger than 2arcmin in the RC3 on Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) images (Lütticke et al. cite{lue2000a}) we have found...
A search for bright galaxies associated with radio sources from the WENSS minisurvey has been carried out. A galaxy counterpart was found for 402 of almost 10...
