    The awakening of BL Lacertae: observations by Fermi, Swift and the GASP-WEBT
    Since the launch of the Fermi satellite, BL Lacertae has been moderately active at γ-rays and optical frequencies until 2011 May, when the source started a...

    The B-type Binaries Characterisation Programme - II. VFTS 291: a stripped star from a recent mass transfer phase
    Recent studies of massive binaries with putative black hole companions have uncovered a phase of binary evolution that has not been observed before, featuring a...

    The BaLROG project - I. Quantifying the influence of bars on the kinematics of nearby galaxies
    We present the BaLROG (Bars in Low Redshift Optical Galaxies) sample of 16 morphologically distinct barred spirals to characterize observationally the influence...

    The BaLROG project - II. Quantifying the influence of bars on the stellar populations of nearby galaxies
    We continue the exploration of the BaLROG (Bars in Low Redshift Optical Galaxies) sample: 16 large mosaics of barred galaxies observed with the integral field...

    The bar rotation rate as a diagnostic of dark matter content in the centre of disc galaxies
    We investigate the link between the bar rotation rate and dark matter content in barred galaxies by concentrating on the cases of the lenticular galaxies NGC...

    The beamed jet and quasar core of the distant blazar 4C 71.07
    The object 4C 71.07 is a high-redshift blazar whose spectral energy distribution shows a prominent big blue bump and a strong Compton dominance. We present the...

    The bias of dark matter tracers: assessing the accuracy of mapping techniques
    We present a comparison between approximated methods for the construction of mock catalogues based on the halo-bias mapping technique. To this end, we use as...

    The biconical kiloparsec structure generated by nuclear starbursts
    Two-dimensional calculations of the hydrodynamics produced by nuclear starbursts, taking into consideration the accretion or infall of disk matter on to the...

    The bifurcated age-metallicity relation of Milky Way globular clusters and its implications for the accretion history of the galaxy
    We use recently derived ages for 61 Milky Way (MW) globular clusters (GCs) to show that their age-metallicity relation (AMR) can be divided into two distinct...
