We examine the spectrum in the vicinity of the NH3360 index of Davidge & Clark, which was defined to measure the NH absorption around 3360 Å and shows almost no...
NICER observations reveal that the X-ray transient MAXI J1348-630 is a black hole X-ray binary
We studied the outburst evolution and timing properties of the recently discovered X-ray transient MAXI J1348-630 as observed with NICER. We produced the...
NICMOS Imaging of DRGs in the HDF-S: A Relation between Star Formation and Size at z ~ 2.5
We present deep, high angular-resolution HST NICMOS imaging in the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S), focusing on a subset of 14 distant red galaxies (DRGs) at z...
NICS-TNG infrared spectroscopy of NGC 1068: The first extragalactic measurement of [P II] and a new tool to constrain the origin of [Fe II] line emission in galaxies
We report 0.9-1.4 mu m spectroscopic observations of NGC 1068 collected during the commissioning phase of the near infrared camera spectrometer (NICS) of the...
NICS-TNG infrared spectroscopy of trans-neptunian objects 2000 EB173 and 2000 WR106
We report complete near-infrared (0.9-2.4 mu m) spectral observations of trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) 2000 EB173 and 2000 WR106 collected using the new Near...
nIFTy galaxy cluster simulations - I. Dark matter and non-radiative models
We have simulated the formation of a galaxy cluster in a Λ cold dark matter universe using 13 different codes modelling only gravity and non-radiative...
nIFTy galaxy cluster simulations - IV. Quantifying the influence of baryons on halo properties
Building on the initial results of the nIFTy simulated galaxy cluster comparison, we compare and contrast the impact of baryonic physics with a single massive...
Night-time image quality at Roque de LOS Muchachos Observatory
Nine months' seeing statistics at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) are presented. Measurements were taken with a differential image motion...
