The SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts - II. New FRB discoveries and their follow-up
We report the discovery of four Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) in the ongoing SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts at the Parkes Radio Telescope: FRBs...
The survival of stellar discs in Fornax-like environments, from TNG50 to real galaxies
We study the evolution of kinematically defined stellar discs in 10 Fornax-like clusters identified in the TNG50 run from the IllustrisTNG suite of cosmological...
The Swift capture of a long X-ray burst from XTE J1701-407
XTE J1701-407 is a new transient X-ray source discovered on 2008 June 8. More than one month later, it showed a rare type of thermonuclear explosion: a long...
We present the results of a comprehensive study of the gamma-ray burst 080928 and of its afterglow. GRB 080928 was a long burst detected by Swift/BAT and Fermi...
The synchronized dance of the magellanic clouds' star formation history
We use the SMASH survey to obtain unprecedented deep photometry reaching down to the oldest main-sequence turn-offs in the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of...
The synchrony of production and escape: half the bright Lyα emitters at z ≍ 2 have Lyman continuum escape fractions ≍50
The ionizing photon escape fraction [Lyman continuum (LyC) f esc] of star-forming galaxies is the single greatest unknown in the reionization budget. Stochastic...
The system parameters of the polars MR SER and ST LMi
We obtain the NaI lambdalambda8183, 8195 absorption-line radial velocity curves for the polars ST LMi and MR Ser, from which we find the semi-amplitudes to be K...
The T<SUB>e</SUB>[N II]-T<SUB>e</SUB>[O III] temperature relation in H II regions and the reliability of strong-line methods
We use a sample of 154 observations of 124 H II regions that have measurements of both T e[O III] and T e[N II], compiled from the literature, to explore the...
