We present the results of a study comparing the stellar populations in the elliptical galaxies of Hickson compact groups (HCGs) with those in low-density...

The results obtained in Paper I are used to study possible relationships between the truncation radius of stellar discs in the NIR and structural parameters of...

We present NIR surface photometry of 11 edge-on galaxies obtained in the course of a long term project aimed at analysing the occurrence and type of the...

The precise nature of photospheric flows, and of the transport effects they give rise to, has been the subject of intense debate in the last decade. Here we...

The hypergiant ρ Cas is known for its variable rate of mass loss, with an average value of about 10^-5^Msun_/yr, and the supersonic value for the line-of-sight...

Theoretical modeling of the driving processes of solar-like oscillations is a powerful way of understanding the properties of the convective zones of solar-type...

Results from a numerical and analytical investigation of the solution of a nonlinear axisymmetric diffusion equation for the magnetic field are presented for...

Dusty star-forming galaxies at high redshift (1 < z < 3) represent the most intense star-forming regions in the universe. Key aspects to these processes are the...

Through a high-resolution spectroscopic survey, we analyze the velocity field of 16 planetary nebulae with [WC]- or wels-type nuclei in comparison with 8...
