    Observation of Very High Energy γ-Rays from the AGN 1ES 2344+514 in a Low Emission State with the MAGIC Telescope
    The MAGIC collaboration has observed very high energy gamma-ray emission from the AGN 1ES 2344+514. A gamma-ray signal corresponding to an 11 σ excess and an...

    Observational constraints to boxy/peanut bulge formation time
    Boxy/peanut bulges are considered to be part of the same stellar structure as bars and both could be linked through the buckling instability. The Milky Way is...

    Observational Discovery of the Asymptotic Giant Branch Bump in Densely Populated Color-Magnitude Diagrams of Galaxies and Star Clusters
    The huge photometric databases that are being created for stars in the Magellanic Clouds and in Local Group galaxies not only allow a detailed study of the star...

    Observational Evidence for a Galaxy Overdensity/Protocluster at z=6.5
    We present the results of our search near the end of the Reionization Epoch for faint galaxies around two close, massive Lyman-α emitters (LAEs) at redshift 6.5...

    Observational hints of radial migration in disc galaxies from CALIFA
    Context. According to numerical simulations, stars are not always kept at their birth galactocentric distances but they have a tendency to migrate. The...

    Observations of a nearby filament of galaxy clusters with the Sardinia Radio Telescope
    We report the detection of diffuse radio emission which might be connected to a large-scale filament of the cosmic web covering a 8° × 8° area in the sky...
