    Alone on a wide wide sea. The origin of SECCO 1, an isolated star-forming gas cloud in the Virgo cluster*†‡
    SECCO 1 is an extremely dark, low-mass (M⋆ ≃ 105 M⊙), star-forming stellar system lying in the low-velocity cloud (LVC) substructure of the Virgo cluster of...

    Amino acids in comets and meteorites: stability under gamma radiation and preservation of the enantiomeric excess
    Amino acids in Solar system bodies may have played a key role in the chemistry that led to the origin of life on Earth. We present laboratory studies testing...

    An active M8.5 dwarf wide companion to the M4/DA binary LHS 4039/LHS 4040
    Low-mass and brown dwarfs have recently been found as wide companions to many nearby stars, formerly believed to be single. Wide binaries are usually found as...

    An ALMA CO(1-0) survey of the 2Jy sample: large and massive molecular discs in radio AGN host galaxies
    The jets of radio AGN provide one of the most important forms of active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback, yet considerable uncertainties remain about how they are...

    An ALMA survey of CO in submillimetre galaxies: companions, triggering, and the environment in blended sources
    We present ALMA observations of the mid-J 12CO emission from six single-dish selected 870-μm sources in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South and UKIDSS Ultra...

    An ALMA survey of submillimetre galaxies in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South: an unbiased study of SMG environments measured with narrow-band imaging
    Submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) are some of the most extreme star-forming systems in the Universe, whose place in the framework of galaxy evolution is as yet...

    An ALMA/NOEMA survey of the molecular gas properties of high-redshift star-forming galaxies
    We have used ALMA and NOEMA to study the molecular gas reservoirs in 61 ALMA-identified submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) in the COSMOS, UDS, and ECDFS fields. We...

    An anticorrelation between X-ray luminosity and Hα equivalent width in X-ray binaries
    We report an anticorrelation between continuum luminosity and the equivalent width (EW) of the Hα emission line in X-ray binary systems. The effect is evident...

    An application of an optimal statistic for characterizing relative orientations
    We present the projected Rayleigh statistic (PRS), a modification of the classic Rayleigh statistic, as a test for non-uniform relative orientation between two...
