We present the first stellar spectroscopy in the low-luminosity (MV ˜ -9.3 mag), dwarf galaxy Leo P. Its significantly low oxygen abundance (3% solar) and...

Large telescopes require a very precise calibration in order to maximize its scientific output. Current catalogues of standard stars are generally too bright...

The search of extragalactic regions with conspicuous presence of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars outside the Local Group is challenging task owing to the difficulty in...

Aims:To check whether the polar angle distribution of QSOs around nearby spiral galaxies is isotropic or not. Methods: A statistical analysis of the polar angle...

In this paper, we study the nuclear obscuration of galaxies hosting low ionization narrow emission regions (LINERs) based on their X-ray and optical emission...

Colour-magnitude diagrams in the Washington system are presented for the first time for five star clusters projected on to the outer region of the Small...

The structure of the outskirts of galaxies provides valuable information about their past and evolution. Due to their projected orientation, edge-on isolated...

In order to understand the origin and evolution of radio galaxies, searches for the youngest such sources have been conducted. Compact symmetric objects (CSOs)...

We measure the variance in the distribution of off-plane (|b|>20o ) galaxies with m_K
