  • On the estimation of galaxy structural parameters: the Sérsic model
    This paper addresses some questions which have arisen from the use of the Sérsic r1/n law in modelling the luminosity profiles of early-type galaxies. The first issue deals with the trend between the half-light radius and the structural parameter n. We show that the correlation between these two parameters is not only real, but also a natural

  • On the formation and evolution of the first Be star in a black hole binary MWC 656
    We find that the formation of MWC 656 (the first Be binary containing a black hole) involves a common envelope phase and a supernova explosion. This result supports the idea that a rapidly rotating Be star can emerge out of a common envelope phase, which is very intriguing because this evolutionary stage is thought to be too fast to lead to

  • On the generation of the net circular polarization observed in solar faculae
    The net circular polarization observed in solar faculae (Stenflo et al., 1984) follows a law expected from the combination of velocity and magnetic field gradients in the photosphere. To show this, the theoretical curve of growth (net circular polarization produced by a single line versus its absorption coefficient) predicted by this mechanism is

  • On the HU Aquarii planetary system hypothesis
    In this paper, we investigate the eclipse timing of the polar binary HU Aquarii that has been observed for almost two decades. Recently, Qian et al. attributed large (O-C) deviations between the eclipse ephemeris and observations to a compact system of two massive Jovian companions. We improve the Keplerian, kinematic model of the light travel time

  • On the lensed blazar B0218+357
    We present an optical spectrum (λλ4000-10 500) of the lensed blazar B0218+357 secured at the 10 m GTC and aimed to investigate and clarify the properties of this intriguing system. We found that the emission line spectrum of the blazar is characterized by only one broad emission line that interpreted as Mg ii 2800 Å yields z = 0.95. In addition, we

  • On the nature of Hα emitters at z ˜ 2 from the HiZELS survey: physical properties, Lyα escape fraction and main sequence
    We present a detailed multiwavelength study (from rest-frame ultraviolet to far-infrared) of narrow-band selected, star-forming (SF) Hα emitters (HAEs) at z ˜ 2.23 taken from the High-Redshift(Z) Emission Line Survey (HiZELS). We find that HAEs have similar properties and colours derived from spectral energy distributions as sBzK galaxies, and
