Globular cluster systems of relic galaxies
We analyse the globular cluster (GC) systems of a sample of 15 massive, compact early-type galaxies (ETGs), 13 of which have already been identified as good...
Globular clusters in modified Newtonian dynamics: velocity dispersion profiles from self-consistent models
We test the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) theory with the velocity dispersion profiles of Galactic globular clusters populating the outermost region of the...
Going back to basics: accelerating exoplanet transit modelling using Taylor-series expansion of the orbital motion
A significant fraction of an exoplanet transit model evaluation time is spent calculating projected distances between the planet and its host star. This is a...
Gradients of chemical abundances in the Milky Way from H II regions: distances derived from Gaia EDR3 parallaxes and temperature inhomogeneities
We present a reassessment of the radial abundance gradients of He, C, N, O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar in the Milky Way using the deep optical spectra of 42 H II regions...
Gran Telescopio Canarias observations of an overdense region of Lyman α emitters at z = 6.5
We present the results of our search near the end of the Reionization Epoch for faint galaxies. This has been done using very deep OSIRIS images obtained at the...
Gravitational Radiation and Steady-State Distribution of Binary Orbits - Application to High-Mass Binary Pulsars
By assuming the existence of a quasi-steady state of binary orbits of collapsed objects, a simple theory, relating the initial input distribution of semimajor...
Gravitational radiation from point masses in elliptical orbits: spectral analysis and orbital parameters
The amplitude of the gravitational waves emitted by a binary system of arbitrary eccentricity and orientation is developed in Fourier-Bessel series. Periastron...
GRB 051008: a long, spectrally hard dust-obscured GRB in a Lyman-break galaxy at z ≈ 2.8
We present observations of the dark gamma-ray burst GRB 051008 provided by Swift/BAT, Swift/XRT, Konus-WIND, INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS in the high-energy domain and the...
GRB 201015A and the nature of low-luminosity soft gamma-ray bursts
GRB 201015A is a peculiarly low luminosity, spectrally soft gamma-ray burst (GRB), with T 90 = 9.8 ± 3.5 s (time interval of detection of 90 per cent of photons...
