    The forbidden high-ionization-line region of the type 2 quasar SDSS J11311.05+162739.5: a clear view of the inner face of the torus?
    We present spectroscopic observations of the type 2 quasar SDSS J11311.05+162739.5 (z= 0.1732), which has the richest spectrum of forbidden high-ionization...

    The formation of galaxy discs in a hierarchical universe
    The formation of galactic discs and the efficiency of star formation within them are issues central to our understanding of galaxy formation. We have developed...

    The Fornax3D project: intrinsic correlations between orbital properties and the stellar initial mass function
    Variations of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in external galaxies have been inferred from a variety of independent probes. Yet the physical conditions...

    The fraction of binary systems in the core of five Galactic open clusters
    We used deep wide-field photometric observations to derive the fraction of binary systems in a sample of five high-latitude Galactic open clusters. By analysing...

    The frequency of gaseous debris discs around white dwarfs
    A total of 1-3 per cent of white dwarfs are orbited by planetary dusty debris detectable as infrared emission in excess above the white dwarf flux. In a rare...

    The frequency of transiting planetary systems around polluted white dwarfs
    This paper investigates the frequency of transiting planetary systems around metal-polluted white dwarfs using high-cadence photometry from ULTRACAM and...

    The fundamental parameters of the Algol binary AI Draconis revisited
    We present the results of an analysis of our infrared light curves of the Algol-type binary AI Draconis in the J, H and K bands, and of published light curves...

    The Fundamental Plane for early-type galaxies: dependence on the magnitude range
    Studying three samples of early-type galaxies, which include approximately 8800 galaxies and cover a relatively ample magnitude range ( ~ 5.5mag), we find that...

    The Gaia ultracool dwarf sample-IV. GTC/OSIRIS optical spectra of Gaia late-M and L dwarfs
    As part of our comprehensive, ongoing characterization of the low-mass end of the main sequence in the Solar neighbourhood, we used the OSIRIS instrument at the...
