We report on the detection of a stellar halo around NGC 1560, a 109 M ⊙ spiral galaxy member of the Maffei group. We obtained deep images in the r- and i-bands...
The Stellar Kinematic Center and the True Galactic Nucleus of NGC 253
We present the first sub-arcsecond resolution two-dimensional stellar kinematics and X-ray observations of the prototypical starburst galaxy NGC 253 which...
The Strong Gravitationally Lensed Herschel Galaxy HLock01: Optical Spectroscopy Reveals a Close Galaxy Merger with Evidence of Inflowing Gas
The submillimeter galaxy (SMG) HERMES J105751.1+573027 (hereafter HLock01) at z = 2.9574 ± 0.0001 is one of the brightest gravitationally lensed sources...
The Structure and Star Formation History of NGC 5461
We compute photoionization models for the giant extragalactic H II region NGC 5461 and compare their predictions to several observational constraints. Since we...
The Structure of the Accretion Disk in the Lensed Quasar SBS 0909+532
We derive the size and temperature profile of the accretion disk of the lensed quasar SBS 0909+532 by measuring the wavelength dependence (chromaticity) of the...
The Structure, Populations, and Kinematics of the Milky Way Central and Inner Bulge with OGLE, APOGEE, and Gaia Data
We present an analysis of the structure, kinematics, and chemo-dynamical properties of the Milky Way bulge using RR Lyrae stars from Optical Gravitational...
We combine results from imaging searches for substellar objects in the σ Orionis cluster and follow-up photometric and spectroscopic observations to derive a...
The Substellar Population of σ Orionis: A Deep Wide Survey
We present a deep I, Z photometric survey covering a total area of 1.12 deg2 of the σ Orionis cluster and reaching completeness magnitudes of I = 22 and Z = 21...
The Tenerife Cosmic Microwave Background Maps: Observations and First Analysis
The results of the Tenerife cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments are presented. These observations cover 5000 and 6500 deg2 on the sky at 10 and 15 GHz...
