The distribution of sunspot decay rates is studied using the Greenwich Photoheliographic Results (GPR) for a total of approximately hundred years between 1874...
The diverse cold molecular gas contents, morphologies, and kinematics of type-2 quasars as seen by ALMA
We present CO(2−1) and adjacent continuum observations of seven nearby radio-quiet type-2 quasars (QSO2s) obtained with ALMA at ∼0.2″ resolution (370 pc at z ∼...
The dominant role of mergers in the size evolution of massive early-type galaxies since z ~ 1
Aims: The role of galaxy mergers in massive galaxy evolution, and in particular to mass assembly and size growth, remains an open question. In this paper we...
A theory is outlined for analyzing the observed mean Doppler shift of Fraunhofer lines in the zodiacal light, assuming that the particle distribution in terms...
The double low-mass white dwarf eclipsing binary system J2102-4145 and its possible evolution
In recent years, about 150 low-mass white dwarfs (WDs), typically with masses below 0.4 M ⊙, have been discovered. The majority of these low-mass WDs are...
The double sub-giant branch of NGC 6656 (M 22): a chemical characterization
We present an abundance analysis of 101 subgiant branch (SGB) stars in the globular cluster M 22. Using low-resolution FLAMES/GIRAFFE spectra we have determined...
The double-mode nature of the HADS star GSC 00144-03031 and the Petersen diagram of the class
The double-mode pulsation of GSC 00144-03031 has been detected when searching for COROT targets. A very large dataset composed of 4722 photometric measurements...
The double-peaked 2008 outburst of the accreting milli-second X-ray pulsar, IGR J00291+5934
Context. In August 2008, the accreting milli-second X-ray pulsar (AMXP), IGR J00291+5934, underwent an outburst lasting ~100 days, the first since its discovery...
The dust content of high-z submillimeter galaxies revealed by Herschel
We use deep observations taken with the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS), on board the Herschel satellite as part of the PACS evolutionary...
