Description
Using original data and incorporating similar data from previous studies we investigated the effect of extra line-broadening in the atmosphere of Galactic O-stars. Our results suggest that if not taken into account, the extra broadening can lead to significant overestimation of the measured v sin i. The effect is not large (less than 30 kms), and does not seem to depend on the luminosity class. In addition, our results suggest that the extra line-broadening is coupled with the rotation although the latter does not seem to be the only parameter which determines the value of the extra broadening.

    Tracing the evolutionary pathways of dust and cold gas in high-z quiescent galaxies with SIMBA
    Recent discoveries of copious amounts of dust in quiescent galaxies (QGs) at high redshifts (z ≳ 1 ‑ 2) challenge the conventional view that these objects have a negligible interstellar medium (ISM) in proportion to their stellar mass. We made use of the SIMBA hydrodynamic cosmological simulation to explore how dust and cold gas evolve in QGs and

    Requirements on the gain calibration for LiteBIRD polarisation data with blind component separation
    The detection of primordial B modes of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) could provide information about the early stages of the Universe's evolution. The faintness of this signal requires exquisite calibration accuracy and control of instrumental systematic effects which otherwise could bias the measurements. In this work, we study the impact

    Assessing the accuracy of star formation rate measurements by direct star count in molecular clouds
    Star formation estimates based on the counting of young stellar objects (YSOs) are commonly carried out for nearby star-forming regions in the Galaxy, and in principle could be extended to any star-forming region where direct star counts are possible. With this method, the SFRs are measured using the counts of YSOs in a particular class, a typical
