The case for AGN feedback in galaxy groups
The relatively recent insight that energy input from supermassive black holes (BHs) can have a substantial effect on the star formation rates (SFRs) of galaxies...
The central parsecs of active galactic nuclei: challenges to the torus
Type 2 active galactic nuclei (AGN) are by definition nuclei in which the broad-line region and continuum light are hidden at optical/UV wavelengths by dust...
The central parsecs of M87: jet emission and an elusive accretion disc
We present the first simultaneous spectral energy distribution (SED) of M87 core at a scale of 0.4 arcsec ( ˜ 32 pc) across the electromagnetic spectrum. Two...
The central region of M83: massive star formation, kinematics, and the location and origin of the nucleus
We report new near-IR integral field spectroscopy of the central starburst region of the barred spiral galaxy M83 obtained with Cambridge Infra-Red Panoramic...
The centres of M83 and the Milky Way: opposite extremes of a common star formation cycle
In the centres of the Milky Way and M83, the global environmental properties thought to control star formation are very similar. However, M83's nuclear star...
The changing nebula around the hot R Coronae Borealis star DY Centauri
Among the distinguishing characteristics of the remarkable hot R Coronae Borealis star DY Centauri, which was recently found to be a spectroscopic binary, is...
The chemical characterization of halo substructure in the Milky Way based on APOGEE
Galactic haloes in a Λ-CDM universe are predicted to host today a swarm of debris resulting from cannibalized dwarf galaxies. The chemodynamical information...
The chemical composition of Galactic ring nebulae around massive stars
We present deep spectra of ring nebulae associated with Wolf-Rayet (WR) and O-type stars: NGC 6888, G2.4+1.4, RCW 58, S 308, NGC 7635 and RCW 52. The data have...
The chemical composition of HII regions in the outer Galaxy
New spectroscopic observations, including the optical and near-infrared ranges, have been obtained for a sample of HII regions located towards the Galactic...
