    SPIDER VIII - constraints on the stellar initial mass function of early-type galaxies from a variety of spectral features
    We perform a spectroscopic study to constrain the stellar initial mass function (IMF) by using a large sample of 24 781 early-type galaxies from the Sloan...

    Spin alignment of dark matter haloes in the shells of the largest voids
    Using the high-resolution cosmological N-body simulation MareNostrum universe we study the orientation of shape and angular momentum of galaxy-size dark matter...

    Spin-up of low-mass classical bulges in barred galaxies
    Secular evolution is one of the key routes through which galaxies evolve along the Hubble sequence. Not only does the disc undergo morphological and kinematic...

    Spiral shocks in the accretion disc of IP Peg during outburst maximum
    In response to our recent discovery of spiral arms in the accretion disc of IP Peg during rise to outburst, we have obtained time-resolved spectrophotometry of...

    Spiral structure in barred galaxies. Observational constraints to spiral arm formation mechanisms
    A method, which we have developed for determining corotation radii, has allowed us to map in detail the radial resonant structures of barred spiral galaxies...

    Spitzer/Infrared Array Camera near-infrared features in the outer parts of S4G galaxies
    We present a catalogue and images of visually detected features, such as asymmetries, extensions, warps, shells, tidal tails, polar rings, and obvious signs of...

    Spot patterns and differential rotation in the eclipsing pre-cataclysmic variable binary, V471 Tau
    We present surface spot maps of the K2V primary star in the pre-cataclysmic variable binary system, V471 Tau. The spot maps show the presence of large high...

    Spotting the differences between active and non-active twin galaxies on kpc-scales: a pilot study
    We present a pilot study aimed to identify large-scale galaxy properties that could play a role in activating a quiescent nucleus. To do so, we compare the...

    SPRIGHT: a probabilistic mass-density-radius relation for small planets
    We present SPRIGHT, a PYTHON package that implements a fast and lightweight mass-density-radius relation for small planets. The relation represents the joint...
