The first science flight of the balloon-borne Sunrise telescope took place in June 2009 from ESRANGE (near Kiruna/Sweden) to Somerset Island in northern Canada...
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect in superclusters of galaxies using gasdynamical simulations: the case of Corona Borealis
We study the thermal (tSZ) and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect associated with superclusters of galaxies using the MareNostrum (MNU) universe smoothed...
The Superluminal Source GRS 1915+105: A High Mass X-Ray Binary?
We obtained K-band (2.0--2.5 mu m) infrared spectra of the visually obscured superluminal source GRS 1915+105 at three different epochs of 1995, at times when...
The suppression of star formation by powerful active galactic nuclei
The old, red stars that constitute the bulges of galaxies, and the massive black holes at their centres, are the relics of a period in cosmic history when...
The surface composition of Jupiter Trojans: Visible and near-infrared survey of dynamical families
Asteroid dynamical families are supposed to be formed from the collisional disruption of parent bodies. As a consequence, the investigation of the surface...
The surface of (136108) Haumea (2003 EL{61}), the largest carbon-depleted object in the trans-Neptunian belt
Context: Previously known as 2003 EL{61}, (136108) Haumea, is the largest member of a group of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with similar orbits and “unique”...
The SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts - II. New FRB discoveries and their follow-up
We report the discovery of four Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) in the ongoing SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts at the Parkes Radio Telescope: FRBs...
The survival of stellar discs in Fornax-like environments, from TNG50 to real galaxies
We study the evolution of kinematically defined stellar discs in 10 Fornax-like clusters identified in the TNG50 run from the IllustrisTNG suite of cosmological...
