    The optical counterpart of the bright X-ray transient Swift J1745-26
    We present a 30-day monitoring campaign of the optical counterpart of the bright X-ray transient Swift J1745-26, starting only 19 min after the discovery of the...

    The optical morphologies of the 2 Jy sample of radio galaxies: evidence for galaxy interactions
    We present deep Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph South (GMOS-S)/Gemini optical broad-band images for a complete sample of 46 southern 2 Jy radio galaxies at...

    The orbital period of CY UMa
    We present intermediate resolution spectroscopy of the dwarf nova CY UMa in quiescence. From the radial velocities of the Hα emission, we derive an orbital...

    The orbital period of the recurrent nova V2487 Oph revealed
    We present the first reliable determination of the orbital period of the recurrent nova V2487 Oph (Nova Oph 1998). We derived a value of 0.753 ± 0.016 d (18.1 ±...

    The orbital period, black hole mass, and distance to the X-ray transient GRS 1716-249 ( =N Oph 93)
    We present evidence for a 0.278(8) d ( =6.7 h) orbital period in the X-ray transient GRS 1716-249 (=N Oph 93), based on a superhump modulation detected during...

    The orientation of galaxy dark matter haloes around cosmic voids
    Using the Millennium N-body Simulation we explore how the shape and angular momentum of galaxy dark matter haloes surrounding the largest cosmological voids are...

    The origin of accreted stellar halo populations in the Milky Way using APOGEE, Gaia, and the EAGLE simulations
    Recent work indicates that the nearby Galactic halo is dominated by the debris from a major accretion event. We confirm that result from an analysis of APOGEE...

    The origin of bulges and discs in the CALIFA survey - I. Morphological evolution
    This series of papers aims at understanding the formation and evolution of non-barred disc galaxies. We use the new spectro-photometric decomposition code, C2D...

    The origin of discs and spheroids in simulated galaxies
    The major morphological features of a galaxy are thought to be determined by the assembly history and net spin of its surrounding dark halo. In the simplest...
