We have carried out a search for late-type T dwarfs in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey Galactic Plane Survey 6th Data Release. The search yielded two...
The discovery of WASP-151b, WASP-153b, WASP-156b: Insights on giant planet migration and the upper boundary of the Neptunian desert
To investigate the origin of the features discovered in the exoplanet population, the knowledge of exoplanets' mass and radius with a good precision (≲10%) is...
The discovery space of ELT-ANDES. Stars and stellar populations
The ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (ANDES) is the optical and near-infrared high-resolution echelle spectrograph envisioned for the Extremely...
The discrepancy between dynamical and stellar masses in massive compact galaxies traces non-homology
For many massive compact galaxies, their dynamical masses (Mdyn ∝ σ2re) are lower than their stellar masses (M⋆). We analyse the unphysical mass discrepancy M⋆...
The DiskMass Survey. X. Radio synthesis imaging of spiral galaxies
We present results from 21 cm radio synthesis imaging of 28 spiral galaxies from the DiskMass Survey obtained with the VLA, WSRT, and GMRT facilities. We detail...
The Disruption of Molecular Cloud Cores by Photoionization
We solve the line transfer problem in evolving H ii regions in order to calculate line profiles of hydrogen recombination (Hα) and forbidden oxygen ([O III]...
The Distance and Interstellar Sight Line to GX 339-4
The distance to the black hole binary GX 339-4 remains a topic of debate. We examine high-resolution optical spectra of the Na D lines resolving the velocity...
The distance to the C component of I Zw 18 and its star formation history. A probabilistic approach
Aims: We analyzed the resolved stellar population of the C component of the extremely metal-poor dwarf galaxy I Zw18 in order to evaluate its distance and star...
The Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud Cluster Reticulum from the K-Band Period-Luminosity-Metallicity Relation of RR Lyrae Stars
We present new and accurate near-infrared J- and Ks-band data of the Large Magellanic Cloud cluster Reticulum. Data were collected with SOFI at the New...
