Superdense Massive Galaxies in the Nearby Universe
Superdense massive galaxies (re ~ 1 kpc; M ~ 1011 M sun) were common in the early universe (z gsim 1.5). Within some hierarchical merging scenarios, a non...
Superdense Massive Galaxies in Wings Local Clusters
Massive quiescent galaxies at z > 1 have been found to have small physical sizes, and hence to be superdense. Several mechanisms, including minor mergers, have...
Supergalactic Winds Driven by Multiple Super-Star Clusters
Here we present two-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations of free expanding supergalactic winds, taking into consideration strong radiative cooling. Our main...
Superluminal non-ballistic jet swing in the quasar NRAO 150 revealed by mm-VLBI
Context: NRAO 150, a compact and bright radio to mm source showing core/jet structure, has been recently identified as a quasar at redshift z = 1.52 through a...
Supermassive black hole wake or bulgeless edge-on galaxy?
A recent paper reported the serendipitous discovery of a thin linear object interpreted as the trail of star-forming regions left behind by a runaway...
Supermassive black hole wake or bulgeless edge-on galaxy?
A recent paper reported the serendipitous discovery of a thin linear object interpreted as the trail of star-forming regions left behind by a runaway...
Supermassive black hole wake or bulgeless edge-on galaxy?. II. Order-of-magnitude analysis of the two physical scenarios
Context. A recently discovered thin long object aligned with a nearby galaxy could be the stellar wake induced by the passage of a supermassive black hole (SMBH...
Supermassive black holes in the EAGLE Universe. Revealing the observables of their growth
We investigate the evolution of supermassive black holes in the `Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments' (EAGLE) cosmological hydrodynamic...
Supernova 2014J at M82 - II. Direct analysis of a middle-class Type Ia supernova
We analyse a time series of optical spectra of SN 2014J from almost two weeks prior to maximum to nearly four months after maximum. We perform our analysis...
