We study the gas distribution in the recent merger remnant NGC 3656, a perturbed elliptical. The total gaseous mass content is a few times 10^9^M_sun_. The...

Context. M 33 is a gas rich spiral galaxy of the Local Group. Its vicinity allows us to study its interstellar medium (ISM) on linear scales corresponding to...

Simultaneous modeling of the line and continuum emission from the nuclear region of the Circinus galaxy is presented. Composite models that include the combined...

We present early WHT ISIS optical spectroscopy of the afterglow of gamma-ray burst GRB 050730. The spectrum shows a DLA system with the highest measured...

Ionized gas and stellar kinematical parameters have been measured along the major axis of 20 nearby disc galaxies. We discuss the properties of each sample...

Galaxy groups are not scaled down versions of massive galaxy clusters - the hot gas in groups [known as the intragroup medium (IGrM)] is, on average, less dense...

We analyze evolution of live disk-halo systems with gas fractions, fgas

Context. Understanding how gas flows into galactic centres, fuels the active galactic nucleus (AGN), and is in turn expelled back through feedback processes is...

Context. A moderate enhancement of the star formation rates (SFR) in local interacting galaxies has been reported, but the physical mechanisms leading to this...
