    The rapid fading of V1647 Orionis: the sudden end of a FUor-type eruption?
    The young eruptive star V1647 Ori started a rapid fading in October 2005 and now is only 1 mag above the pre-outburst level. Colour changes indicate that the...

    The Recent Star Formation History of NGC 5102
    We present Hubble Space Telescope photometry of young stars in NGC 5102, a nearby gas-rich post-starburst S0 galaxy with a bright young stellar nucleus. We use...

    The relationship between the Sérsic law profiles measured along the major and minor axes of elliptical galaxies
    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...
