A shared accretion instability for black holes and neutron stars
Accretion disks around compact objects are expected to enter an unstable phase at high luminosity. One instability may occur when the radiation pressure...
A stellar stream remnant of a globular cluster below the metallicity floor
Stellar ejecta gradually enrich the gas out of which subsequent stars form, making the least chemically enriched stellar systems direct fossils of structures...
A titanic interstellar medium ejection from a massive starburst galaxy
Feedback-driven winds from star formation or active galactic nuclei might be a relevant channel for the abrupt quenching of star formation in massive galaxies...
A Very-High-Energy Gamma-Ray View of the Transient Sky
The development of the latest generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) over recent decades has led to the discovery of new extreme...
About metallicity variations in the local Galactic interstellar medium
In this work we discuss and confront recent results on metallicity variations in the local interstellar medium, obtained from observations of H II regions by...
Actividades por el Día Internacional de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia
Desde el año 2015, a iniciativa de la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas, el 11 de febrero conmemora el Día Internacional de la Mujer y la Niña en la...
An ionised bubble powered by a proto-cluster at z = 6.5
We show herein that a proto-cluster of Lyα emitting galaxies, spectroscopically confirmed at redshift 6.5, produces a remarkable number of ionising continuum...
An ultraviolet wind in a neutron star X-ray binary transient
All disc-accreting astrophysical objects produce powerful disc winds. In compact binaries containing neutron stars or black holes, accretion often takes place...
