This paper examines the reliability of the Tremaine-Weinberg (TW) method in measuring the pattern speed of barred galaxies at high redshifts. Measuring pattern...
The TRGB Distance to the Second Galaxy “Missing Dark Matter”: Evidence for Two Groups of Galaxies at 13.5 and 19 Mpc in the Line of Sight of NGC 1052
A second galaxy “missing dark matter” (NGC 1052-DF4) has been reported recently. Here we show, using the location of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB)...
The triggering mechanism and properties of ionized outflows in the nearest obscured quasars
We have identified ionized outflows in the narrow-line region of all but one Sloan Digital Sky Survey type 2 quasars (QSO2) at z≲0.1 (20/21, detection rate 95...
The truncation of the disk of NGC 4565. Detected up to z = 4 kpc, with star formation, and affected by the warp
Context. The hierarchical model of galaxy formation suggests that galaxies are continuously growing. However, our position inside the Milky Way prevents us from...
The Tucana dwarf spheroidal galaxy: not such a massive failure after all
Context. Isolated local group (LG) dwarf galaxies have evolved most or all of their life unaffected by interactions with the large LG spirals and therefore...
We show that the rotation curves of 16 nearby disc galaxies in the THINGS sample and the Milky Way can be described by the Navarro-Frenk-White halo model and by...
The Type II-plateau Supernova 2017eaw in NGC 6946 and Its Red Supergiant Progenitor
We present extensive optical photometric and spectroscopic observations, from 4 to 482 days after explosion, of the Type II-plateau (II-P) supernova (SN)...
The UK Infrared Telescope M 33 monitoring project - V. The star formation history across the galactic disc
We have conducted a near-infrared monitoring campaign at the UK Infrared Telescope of the Local Group spiral galaxy M 33 (Triangulum). On the basis of their...
