Aims: Two-dimensional spectroscopic data for the whole extent of the NGC 3132 planetary nebula have been obtained. We deliver a reduced data-cube and high...
V838 Mon is marking one of the most mysterious stellar outbursts on record. The spectral energy distribution of the progenitor resembles an under-luminous F...
The Na-O anticorrelation in horizontal branch stars. IV. M 22
We obtained high-resolution spectra for 94 candidate stars belonging to the HB of M 22 with FLAMES. Previous works have indicated that this cluster has split...
The Na-O anticorrelation in horizontal branch stars. V. NGC 6723
We used FLAMES+GIRAFFE (Medusa mode) at the VLT to obtain moderately high resolution spectra for 30 red horizontal branch (RHB) stars, 4 RR Lyrae variables, and...
The NaI resonance lines as a spectroscopic test of late-type stellar atmospheres.
We have tested current models for the atmospheres (including photosphere and low chromosphere) of late-type stars using the D resonance lines of neutral sodium...
The Narrow-Line Region of the Seyfert 2 Galaxy Mrk 78: An Infrared View
We report near-infrared spectroscopic data for the Seyfert 2 galaxy Mrk 78, taken with the LIRIS near-infrared camera/spectrometer at the William Herschel...
The Nature and Evolution of Classical Double Radio Sources from Complete Samples
We present a study of the trends in luminosity, linear size, spectral index, and redshift of classical double radio sources, from three complete samples...
The effects that interactions produce on galaxy disks and how they modify the subsequent formation of bars need to be distinguished to fully understand the...
The nature and origin of substructure in the outskirts of M31 - II. Detailed star formation histories
While wide-field surveys of M31 have revealed much substructure at large radii, understanding the nature and origin of this material is not straightforward from...
