The Lithium-, r- and s-Enhanced Metal-Poor Giant HK-II 17435-00532
We present the first detailed abundance analysis of the metal-poor giant HK-II 17435-00532. This star was observed as part of the University of Texas Long-Term...
The LMT Galaxies' 3 mm Spectroscopic Survey: First Results
The molecular phase of the interstellar medium (ISM) in galaxies offers fundamental insight for understanding star-formation processes and how stellar feedback...
The Local Black Hole - Mass Function Derived from Spiral Galaxies
Here we present our determination of the black hole - mass function for spiral galaxies in our local universe. We have established our black hole - mass...
The Local Group Dwarf Irregular Galaxy NGC 6822: new insight on its star formation history .
We present a new photometric analysis of the Local Group Dwarf Irregular Galaxy NGC 6822 based on archival Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys...
The Local Interstellar Medium - A test-bed for the galactic ISM
A method to explore the column density of the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) using absorptions in the resonance H and K lines of Mg II. The intrinsic...
The Local Interstellar Medium in the Direction of the Galactic Anticentre
High resolution observations of interstellar Na I absorptions in the spectra of early-type stars in the second Galactic quadrant have been used to derive the...
Observations of a broad area at the core of M82, obtained with spatial resolution 30 arcsec and velocity resolution 15.6 km/sec in the J = 2-1 line of CO using...
The Long Bar in the Milky Way. Corroboration of an Old Hypothesis
Recent GLIMPSE data analysed by Benjamin et al. (2005) have further confirmed the hypothesis of the existence of an in-plane long bar that is different from the...
