MEGARA-GTC stellar spectral library: I
MEGARA (Multi Espectrógrafo en GTC de Alta Resolución para Astronomía) is an optical (3650-9750 Å), fibre-fed, medium-high spectral resolution (R = 6000, 12 000...
Merger traces in the spatial distribution of stellar populations in the Fornax dSph galaxy
We present a comprehensive and detailed study of the stellar populations of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We analyse their spatial distributions along the...
Merger-driven star formation activity in Cl J1449+0856 at z = 1.99 as seen by ALMA and JVLA
We use Atacama Large Millimetre Array and Jansky Very Large Array observations of the galaxy cluster Cl J1449+0856 at z = 1.99, in order to study how dust...
Mergers and interactions in Sloan Digital Sky Survey type 2 quasars at z˜ 0.3-0.4. SDSS J143027.66-005614.8: a case study
We present a compilation of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images of 58 luminous Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) type 2 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at ?. Of...
Mesh-free hydrodynamics in PKDGRAV3 for galaxy formation simulations
We extend the state-of-the-art N-body code PKDGRAV3 with the inclusion of mesh-free gas hydrodynamics for cosmological simulations. Two new hydrodynamic solvers...
Metal-line emission from the warm-hot intergalactic medium - I. Soft X-rays
Emission lines from metals offer one of the most promising ways to detect the elusive warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM; 105 T 107K), which is thought to...
Metal-line emission from the warm-hot intergalactic medium - II. Ultraviolet
Approximately half the baryons in the local Universe are thought to reside in the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM), i.e. diffuse gas with temperatures in...
Metallicities from high-resolution spectra of 49 RR Lyrae variables
Accurate metallicities of RR Lyrae are extremely important in constraining period-luminosity-metallicity (PLZ) relationships, particularly in the near-infrared...
Metallicity gradient of the thick disc progenitor at high redshift
We have developed a novel Markov Chain Monte Carlo chemical 'painting' technique to explore possible radial and vertical metallicity gradients for the thick...
