The gaseous component of the reflection nebula surrounding HD 26676 is investigated by comparing the UV spectrum of the star with that of the foreground star HD...

The atmospheric Cherenkov telescope MAGIC for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy is operating since late 2003 on the Canary island of La Palma. Its 17 m diameter...

There is morphological evidence that the activity in powerful radio galaxies could be triggered by mergers and galaxy interactions. However, nothing is known...

The relativistic jets produced by some Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are among the most efficient persistent sources of non-thermal radiation and represent an...

Dwarf galaxies, as the most numerous type of galaxy, offer the potential to study galaxy formation and evolution in detail in the nearby universe. Although they...

We statistically evaluated the relative orientation between gas column density structures, inferred from Herschel submillimetre observations, and the magnetic...

We present a thorough literature study of the most-massive star, mmax, in several young star clusters in order to assess whether or not star clusters are...

The gas of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5252 consists of an ionized bicone of gas and a region of neutral gas which fills the regions outside the ionized bicone. We...

In this paper we discuss the reason why the parameters of the Sérsic model best-fitting the major axis light profile of elliptical galaxies can differ...
