Context. The tumbling pattern of a bar is the main parameter characterising its dynamics. From numerical simulations, its evolution since bar formation is...
Bar pattern speeds in CALIFA galaxies. I. Fast bars across the Hubble sequence
Context. The bar pattern speed (Ωb) is defined as the rotational frequency of the bar, and it determines the bar dynamics. Several methods have been proposed...
Bar pattern speeds in CALIFA galaxies. II. The case of weakly barred galaxies
Context. About 35% of the nearby disc galaxies host a weak bar for which different formation scenarios, including the weakening of a strong bar and tidal...
Bar pattern speeds in CALIFA galaxies. III. Solving the puzzle of ultrafast bars
Context. More than 10% of barred galaxies with a direct measurement of the bar pattern speed host an ultrafast bar. These bars extend well beyond the corotation...
Bar-driven injection of intergalactic matter into galactic halos
Aims:The non-conservative gravitational potential of barred galaxies, or of any other non-axisymmetric structure, produces a loss of energy in infalling...
Basaltic asteroids in the Near-Earth Objects population: a mineralogical analysis
Aims.We present reflectance spectra of three V-type Near-Earth Objects obtained at the 3.6 m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo and at the 2.5 m Nordic Optical...
Basaltic quasi-mini-moon: Characterizing 2024 PT<SUB>5</SUB> with the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias and the Two-meter Twin Telescope
Context. Small bodies in Earth-like orbits, the Arjunas, are good targets for scientific exploration, and space mining or in situ resource utilization (ISRU)...
BAYES-LOSVD: A Bayesian framework for non-parametric extraction of the line-of-sight velocity distribution of galaxies
We introduce BAYES-LOSVD, a novel implementation of the non-parametric extraction of line-of-sight velocity distributions (LOSVDs) in galaxies. We employed...
