We present a suite of cosmological radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of the assembly of galaxies driving the reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at z ≳ 6. The simulations account for the hydrodynamical feedback from photoionization heating and the explosion of massive stars as supernovae (SNe). Our reference simulation, which was

Seven-stone antas are a group of megalithic monuments that were built in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula for a period of some one thousand years in the 4th millennium B.C. They were constructed with a pattern of orientations that certainly situate them among the oldest monuments on Earth with undisputable astronomical orientations. They were

Borlaff et al. (2014) found that the characteristic photometric parameters of antitruncated discs in S0 galaxies follow tight scaling relations. Now, we have investigated if these scaling relations are satisfied by Type-III galaxies of other morphological types using published data in the R and Spitzer 3.6 microns bands. We have found that the

Approximately half of the elements with atomic number Z > 30 are created by slow neutron-capture process in the stellar interior of low- and intermediate- mass stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), during the phase of thermal pulses. These elements, collectively called s-process elements, are dredged up onto the surface of the star and later

Aims: We aim to monitor the optical linear polarimetric signal of the magnetized, rapidly rotating M8.5 dwarf TVLM 513-46546. Methods: R- and I-band linear polarimetry images were collected with the Andalucía Faint Object Spectrograph and Camera (ALFOSC) instrument of the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) on two consecutive nights, covering

The nearby disc galaxy M33 is one of the best laboratories for testing chemical evolution models in galaxies and for understanding disc formation mechanisms. In this galaxy, planetary nebulae (PNe) were previously extensively studied only within a galactocentric radius of 8 kpc.In the framework of a broad study of the population of PNe in Local
