    The effects of seeing on Sèrsic profiles
    The effects of seeing on the parameters of the Sèrsic profile are studied in an analytical form using a Gaussian point spread function. The surface brightness...

    The effects of seeing on Sérsic profiles - II. The Moffat PSF
    The effects of seeing on Sérsic r1/n profile parameters are extensively studied using a Moffat function. This analytical approximation to the point spread...

    The electron temperatures of SDSS high-metallicity giant extragalactic HII regions
    Spectra of high-metallicity [12+log(O/H) >~ 8.2] HII regions, where oxygen auroral lines are measurable in both the O+ and O++ zones, have been extracted from...

    The elemental abundance of quiescent galaxies in the LEGA-C survey: the (non-)evolution of [α/Fe] from z = 0.75 to z = 0
    We measure the [α/Fe] abundances for 183 quiescent galaxies at z = 0.60-0.75 with stellar masses ranging 10.4 ≤ log 10(M */M ⊙) ≤ 11.6 selected from the Large...

    The emergence of a neutral Herbig-Haro jet into a photoionized nebula
    Recent observations show the existence of an increasing number of collimated outflows ejected by young, low-mass stars which are embedded in Hii regions. At...

    The emission-line knot in the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5347
    We report on narrow-band Hα imaging and long-slit spectroscopy at intermediate resolution from [NeV] lambda3425A to [SIII] lambda9532A at PA=25.˚5 through the...

    The enrichment history of cosmic metals
    We use a suite of cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations to investigate the chemical enrichment history of the Universe. Specifically, we trace the origin of...

    The environments of luminous radio galaxies and type-2 quasars
    We present the results of a comparison between the environments of (1) a complete sample of 46 southern 2-Jy radio galaxies at intermediate redshifts (0.05 z ...

    The Episodic Dust-Maker WR:125 - Part Two - Spectroscopy and Photometry during Infrared Maximum
    During 1992-93 the infrared flux from the Wolf-Rayet star WR 125, which formed a dust shell in 1990-91, reached a maximum. This is attributed to the continuous...
