We identify an inner-belt, low-inclination origin for 1999JU3 through the Nu6 resonance. Within this region there are three possible sources, the Erigone and...
The Origin of Bulges and Discs. The Stellar Mass Growth Unveiled using CALIFA Spectro-Photometric Decompositions
Directly linked to the mass of the dark matter halo where baryons form, the galaxy stellar mass (M_star) is the most important observable parameter to...
The Origin of Dwarf Galaxies in Clusters: The Faint-End Slope of Abell 85 Galaxy Luminosity Function
Dwarf galaxies (Mb>-18) are important because of their cosmological interest as tests of hierarchical theories. The formation of these galaxies is still an open...
Near-Earth asteroid 161273 (1999 JU3) is the primary target of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's Hyabusa-2 sample return mission. This object is also...
The origin of the cold spot in the Corona Borealis supercluster
The Very Small Array (VSA) detected a cold spot in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) towardsthe Corona Borealis supercluster of galaxies. The origin of this...
Using high-quality H_α images of five spiral galaxies, we have studied the luminosity and distribution of the emission from diffuse ionized gas (DIG). The...
The origin of the IR emission of low-luminosity AGN
To test recent suggestions that the infrared emission of low-luminosity AGN arises in a truncated thin accretion disk, we compare recent, high-resolution IR...
As part of a systematic effort to characterize the properties and progenitors of the most luminous planetary nebulae (PNe), we obtained a sample among the...
The origin of the most luminous planetary nebulae: M31
The Planetary Nebulae Luminosity Function (PNLF) is an important standard candle on the extragalactic distance ladder. Its use is based on the empirical...
