    Nonlinear Instability of Kink Oscillations due to Shear Motions
    First results from a high-resolution three-dimensional nonlinear numerical study of the kink oscillation are presented. We show in detail the development of a...

    Nonlinear Wave Damping by Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability-induced Turbulence
    Magnetohydrodynamic kink waves naturally form as a consequence of perturbations to a structured medium, for example, transverse oscillations of coronal loops...

    Nuclear Activity and Massive Star Formation in the Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus NGC 4303: Chandra X-Ray Observations
    We present evidence of the coexistence of either an AGN or an ultraluminous X-ray source, together with a young superstellar cluster, in the central 3 pc of NGC...

    Nuclear Rings in Galaxies—a Kinematic Perspective
    We combine DensePak integral field unit and TAURUS Fabry-Perot observations of 13 nuclear rings to show an interconnection between the kinematic properties of...

    Nuclear Spirals as Feeding Channels to the Supermassive Black Hole: The Case of the Galaxy NGC 6951
    We report the discovery of gas streaming motions along nuclear spiral arms toward the LINER nucleus of the galaxy NGC 6951. The observations, obtained using the...

    Nuclear Star Formation Activity and Black Hole Accretion in Nearby Seyfert Galaxies
    Recent theoretical and observational works indicate the presence of a correlation between the star-formation rate (SFR) and active galactic nucleus (AGN)...

    Nucleosynthesis and the Inhomogeneous Chemical Evolution of the Carina Dwarf Galaxy
    The detailed abundances of 23 chemical elements in nine bright red giant branch stars in the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy are presented based on high...

    Numerical Modeling of Magnetohydrodynamic Wave Propagation and Refraction in Sunspots
    We present numerical simulations of magnetoacoustic wave propagation from the photosphere to the low chromosphere in a magnetic sunspot-like structure. A thick...

    Numerical Simulations of Conversion to Alfvén Waves in Sunspots
    We study the conversion of fast magnetoacoustic waves to Alfvén waves by means of 2.5D numerical simulations in a sunspot-like magnetic configuration. A fast...
