Aims: We study the ionized gas emission from the large scale shock region of Stephan's Quintet (SQ). Methods: We carried out integral field unit (IFU) optical spectroscopy on three pointings in and near the SQ shock. We used Potsdam MultiAperture Spectrometer (PMAS) on the 3.5 m Calar Alto telescope to obtain measures of emission lines that provide

We present near-infrared spectra of 23 B-type asteroids obtained with the NICS camera-spectrograph at the 3.56 m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo. We also compile additional visible and near-infrared spectra of another 22 B-type asteroids from the literature. A total of 45 B-types are analyzed. No significant trends in orbital properties of our sample

The characterization of the atomic and molecular hydrogen content of high-redshift galaxies is a major observational challenge that will be addressed over the coming years with a new generation of radio telescopes. We investigate this important issue by considering the states of hydrogen across a range of structures within high-resolution

Simulations have shown that a diverse range of extrasolar terrestrial planet bulk compositions are likely to exist based on the observed variations in host star elemental abundances. Based on recent studies, it is expected that a significant proportion of host stars may have Mg/Si ratios below 1. Here we examine this previously neglected group of
