We present the first results obtained using a tunable narrow-band filter in the search for high-z protoclusters. Using the recently commissioned red tunable filter on the Gran Telescopio Canarias, we have searched for Lyα emitters in a 75 arcmin2 field centred on the z= 4.413 radio galaxy 6C0140+326. With three different wavelength tunings, we find

Using velocity tagging we have detected hydrogen from NGC 5426 falling onto its interacting partner NGC 5427. Our observations, with the GHaFaS Fabry-Perot spectrometer, produced maps of the two galaxies in Hα surface brightness and radial velocity. We found emission with the range of velocities associated with NGC 5426 along lines of sight

We use the Galaxies-Intergalactic Medium Interaction Calculation (GIMIC) suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to study the formation of stellar spheroids of Milky Way mass disc galaxies. The simulations contain accurate treatments of metal-dependent radiative cooling, star formation, supernova feedback and chemodynamics, and the large

This paper presents the case of CoRoT LRa02_E2_0121, which was initially classified as a Neptune-size transiting-planet candidate on a relatively wide orbit of 36.3 days. Follow-up observations were performed with UVES, Sandiford, SOPHIE, and HARPS. These observations revealed a faint companion in the spectra. To find the true nature of the system

The CoRoT satellite is the first instrument hunting for planets from space. We will review the status of the CoRoT/Exoplanet program. We will then present the CoRoT exoplanetary systems and how they widen the range of exoplanet properties and contribute to our understanding of these objects.
