The Kepler view of γ Doradus stars
Visual classification of over 10 000 stars in the Kepler data base has revealed a class of stars with almost monoperiodic light variations and characteristic...
The kinematic behaviour of optical recombination lines and collisionally excited lines in Galactic planetary nebulae*†
The kinematics of the plasma in 14 planetary nebulae (PNe) is analysed by measuring the expansion velocities (Vexp) of different ions as derived from their...
The Large Magellanic Cloud as a laboratory for hot bottom burning in massive asymptotic giant branch stars
We use Spitzer observations of the rich population of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) to test models describing the...
The last breath of the young gigahertz-peaked spectrum radio source PKS1518+047
We present the results from multifrequency VLBA observations from 327MHz to 8.4GHz of the gigahertz-peaked spectrum radio source PKS1518+047 (4C04.51) aimed at...
The lens SW05 J143454.4+522850: a fossil group at redshift 0.6?
Fossil groups are considered the end product of natural galaxy group evolution in which group members sink towards the centre of the gravitational potential due...
The Local Group Census: searching for planetary nebulae in IC 1613, WLM and GR8
In the framework of the Local Group Census (LGC), a survey of the Local Group (LG) galaxies above Dec =-30° aimed at surveying the populations that have strong...
The long-term optical evolution of the black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152
We present 5 yr of optical and infrared data of the black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 covering its 2010 outburst, decay, and quiescence. Combining optical...
The Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) feature in the power spectrum of galaxies provides a standard ruler to measure the accelerated expansion of the Universe...
The low-excitation structures of planetary nebulae
The low excitation properties of the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 6720 are known to be unusual, and to imply large ring/core emission ratios. We point out that...
