We compare the results of various cosmological gas-dynamical codes used to simulate the formation of a galaxy in the Λ cold dark matter structure formation paradigm. The various runs (13 in total) differ in their numerical hydrodynamical treatment [smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), moving mesh and adaptive mesh refinement] but share the same

We report on optical spectroscopy of the high-energy transient Swift J1910.2-0546 / MAXI 1910-057 (ATel #4139; #4140; #4171; #4195; #4198) using the 2m Liverpool Telescope on La Palma and the FRODOSPEC spectrograph. On 2012 June 18 (01:25 UTC) we obtained 1500s exposures simultaneously in the red (5700-8050A at 0.59A/pixel) and blue (3800-5150A at

We present the radial profiles of the Hβ, Mg and Fe line-strength indices for a sample of eight spiral galaxies with a low-surface-brightness stellar disc and a bulge. The correlations between the central values of the line-strength indices and velocity dispersion are consistent with those known for early-type galaxies and bulges of high-surface

The IR data come from the Herschel/SPIRE Science Demonstration Phase (SDP) observations of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS)-North, taken as part of the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) guaranteed-time key programme. (1 data file).
