Context. Since the mid-1990s, the sample of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) has been growing thanks to the increasing sensitivities in the optical and in near...
Dust scattering and kinematics within the envelope of IRAS 09371+1212.
We have acquired narrow and broad band imaging, together with high and low resolution spectroscopy for the source IRAS 09371+1212. As a result, we are able to...
Dwarf novae in the Hamburg quasar survey: rarer than expected
Aims.We report the discovery of five new dwarf novae that were spectroscopically identified in the Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS), and discuss the properties of...
Dwarfs after mergers? The case of NGC 520, NGC 772, Arp 141, NGC 3226/7, NGC 3656 and Arp 299
We present results from a survey of dwarf galaxy candidates in the vicinity of strongly interacting galaxies. The goal of the survey was a test of the...
Dynamical confirmation of a black hole in the X-ray transient Swift J1727.8‑1613
The X-ray transient Swift J1727.8‑1613 ended its 10-month discovery outburst in June of 2024, when it reached an optical brightness comparable to pre-discovery...
Dynamical masses of two young transiting sub-Neptunes orbiting HD 63433
Context. Although the number of exoplanets reported in the literature exceeds 5000 so far, only a few dozen of them are young planets (≤900 Myr). However, a...
Dynamical model of the grand-design spiral galaxy NGC 157.
Numerical simulations of the interstellar medium under the action of a density wave provide an accurate method for determining the positions of the main...
Dynamical taxonomy of comets and asteroids based on the Lyapunov indicators. An analysis of the relevance of splitting
By comparison of different parameters associated with a chaotic evolution, we discuss the relation between several populations of inner Solar System bodies...
Dynamics of 2023 FW<SUB>14</SUB>, the second L<SUB>4</SUB> Mars trojan, and a physical characterization using the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias
Context. Known Mars trojans could be primordial small bodies that have remained in their present-day orbits for the age of the Solar System. Their orbital...
