  • The coordinated key role of wet, mixed, and dry major mergers in the buildup of massive early-type galaxies at z < 1
    Hierarchical models predict that massive early-type galaxies (mETGs) derive from the most massive and violent merging sequences occurred in the Universe. However, the role of wet, mixed, and dry major mergers in the assembly of mETGs is questioned by some recent observations. We have developed a semi-analytical model to test the feasibility of the

  • Testing the Black Hole No-hair Theorem with OJ287
    We examine the ability to test the black hole no-hair theorem at the 10% level in this decade using the binary black hole in OJ287. In the test we constrain the value of the dimensionless parameter q that relates the scaled quadrupole moment and spin of the primary black hole: q 2 = -q χ2. At the present we can say that q = 1 ± 0.3 (1σ), in

  • Stray-light contamination and spatial deconvolution of slit-spectrograph observations
    Context. Stray light caused by scattering on optical surfaces and in the Earth's atmosphere degrades the spatial resolution of observations. Whereas post-facto reconstruction techniques are common for 2D imaging and spectroscopy, similar options for slit-spectrograph data are rarely applied. Aims: We study the contribution of stray light to the two
