    Tests of model predictions for the responses of stellar spectra and absorption-line indices to element abundance variations
    A method that is widely used to analyse stellar populations in galaxies is to apply the theoretically derived responses of stellar spectra and line indices to...

    The (galaxy-wide) IMF in giant elliptical galaxies: from top to bottom
    Recent evidence based independently on spectral line strengths and dynamical modelling point towards a non-universal stellar initial mass function (IMF)...

    The 1989 and 2015 outbursts of V404 Cygni: a global study of wind-related optical features
    The black hole transient V404 Cygni exhibited a bright outburst in June 2015 that was intensively followed over a wide range of wavelengths. Our team obtained...

    The 3D kinematics of stellar substructures in the periphery of the Large Magellanic Cloud
    We report the 3D kinematics of 27 Mira-like stars in the northern, eastern, and southern periphery of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), based on Gaia proper...

    The absolute proper motions of the Arches and Quintuplet clusters
    Arches and Quintuplet are two young, massive clusters projected near the Galactic Centre. To date, studies focused on understanding their origin have been based...

    The abundance of satellites depends strongly on the morphology of the host galaxy
    Using the spectroscopic catalogue of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 10, we have explored the abundance of satellites around a sample of 254 massive...

    The accretion-ejection coupling in the black hole candidate X-ray binary MAXI J1836-194
    We present the results of our quasi-simultaneous radio, submm, infrared, optical and X-ray study of the Galactic black hole candidate X-ray binary MAXI J1836...

    The ACS LCID Project - VIII. The short-period Cepheids of Leo A
    We present the results of a new search for variable stars in the Local Group dwarf galaxy Leo A, based on deep photometry from the Advanced Camera for Surveys...

    The afterglow and kilonova of the short GRB 160821B
    GRB 160821B is a short duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected and localized by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory in the outskirts of a spiral galaxy at z = 0...
