  • The vertical structure of the spiral galaxy NGC 3501: first stages of the formation of a thin metal-rich disc
    We trace the evolution of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 3501, making use of its stellar populations extracted from deep integral-field spectroscopy MUSE observations. We present stellar kinematic and population maps, as well as the star formation history, of the south-western half of the galaxy. The derived maps of the stellar line-of-sight

  • The Undiscovered Ultradiffuse Galaxies of the Local Group
    Ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs) are attractive candidates to probe cosmological models and test theories of galaxy formation at low masses; however, they are difficult to detect because of their low surface brightness. In the Local Group a handful of UDGs have been found to date, most of which are satellites of the Milky Way and M31, and only two are

  • The Spectroscopic Data Processing Pipeline for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
    We describe the spectroscopic data processing pipeline of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), which is conducting a redshift survey of about 40 million galaxies and quasars using a purpose-built instrument on the 4 m Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. The main goal of DESI is to measure with unprecedented precision the

  • The SCUBA-2 Large eXtragalactic Survey: 850μm map, catalogue and the bright-end number counts of the XMM-LSS field
    We present $850\, \mu {\rm m}$ imaging of the XMM-LSS field observed for 170 h as part of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope SCUBA-2 Large eXtragalactic Survey (S2LXS). S2LXS XMM-LSS maps an area of $9\, {\rm deg}^2$, reaching a moderate depth of $1\sigma \simeq 4\, {\rm mJy\, beam^{-1}}$. This is the largest contiguous area of extragalactic sky

  • The role of cooling induced by mixing in the mass and energy cycles of the solar atmosphere
    In many astrophysical systems, mixing between cool and hot temperature gas/plasma through Kelvin-Helmholtz-instability-driven turbulence leads to the formation of an intermediate temperature phase with increased radiative losses that drive efficient cooling. The solar atmosphere is a potential site for this process to occur with interaction between

  • The Potential of the Wavelength-integrated Scattering Polarization of the Hydrogen Lyα Line for Probing the Solar Chromosphere
    The intensity and the linear scattering polarization profiles of the hydrogen Lyα line encode valuable information on the thermodynamic and magnetic structure of the upper layers of the solar chromosphere. The Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP) sounding rocket experiment provided unprecedented spectropolarimetric data of this
