GRB 051008: a long, spectrally hard dust-obscured GRB in a Lyman-break galaxy at z ≈ 2.8
We present observations of the dark gamma-ray burst GRB 051008 provided by Swift/BAT, Swift/XRT, Konus-WIND, INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS in the high-energy domain and the...
Green Bank Telescope Zpectrometer CO(1-0) Observations of the Strongly Lensed Submillimeter Galaxies from the Herschel ATLAS
The Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) has uncovered a population of strongly lensed submillimeter galaxies (SMGs). The Zpectrometer...
Ground-based proper motions of nearby local group galaxies: A progress report for Fornax
Determining the kinematics of the dwarf Spheroidal galaxies (dSph) satellites of the Milky Way (MW) is crucial to estimate the mass of our galaxy, to understand...
Context. Nearby clusters of galaxies, z ≲ 0.1, are cosmic structures still under formation. Understanding the thermodynamic properties of merging clusters can...
Growth of First Galaxies: Impacts of Star Formation and Stellar Feedback
Recent observations have detected galaxies at high-redshift z∼ 6{--}11, and revealed the diversity of their physical properties, from normal star-forming...
Growth of galactic bulges by mergers. I. Dense satellites
Andredakis et al. (cite{r3}) fit Sersic's law mu (r) ~ r1/n to the bulges of the Balcells & Peletier (cite{r5}) galaxy sample, and infer that n drops with...
Growth of galactic bulges by mergers. II. Low-density satellites
Context: .Satellite accretion events have been invoked for mimicking the internal secular evolutionary processes of bulge growth. However, N-body simulations of...
GTC and OSIRIS: expanding the metallicity horizon of massive stars knowledge
Massive stars are fundamental drivers of the Universe because of their injection of energy, momentum, and nuclear-processed material in every stage of their...
