Is GS:2000+25 an Eclipsing Black-Hole Binary
We present an alternative interpretation of the quiescent optical light curve of GS2000 +25 published by Chevalier & Ilovaisky, and show that the modulation can...
Is Terzan 5 the remnant of a building block of the Galactic bulge? Evidence from APOGEE
It has been proposed that the globular cluster-like system Terzan 5 is the surviving remnant of a primordial building block of the Milky Way bulge, mainly due...
We show herein that the population of star-forming galaxies in the Bremer Deep Field (BDF) has enough ionizing power to form two large ionized bubbles that...
Is the initial mass function of low surface brightness galaxies dominated by low-mass stars?
The rotation curves of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies suggest that they possess significantly higher mass-to-light (M/L) ratios than their high surface...
Is the orbit of the exoplanet WASP-43b really decaying? TESS and MuSCAT2 observations confirm no detection
Up to now, WASP-12b is the only hot Jupiter confirmed to have a decaying orbit. The case of WASP-43b is still under debate. Recent studies preferred or ruled...
Is the symbiotic recurrent nova T CrB late? Recent photometric evolution and comparison with past pre-outburst behaviour
T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova that last erupted in 1946. Given its recurrence time-scale of approximately 80 yr, the next outburst is eagerly anticipated...
Is velocity dispersion the major driver of stellar population properties over sub-galaxy scales? An SDSS MaNGA IFU study
Thanks to Integral Field Unit survey data, it is possible to explore in detail the link between the formation of the stellar content in galaxies and the drivers...
Isotopic abundance of carbon in the DLA towards QSO B1331+170
Chemical evolution models predict a gradual build-up of 13C in the Universe, based on empirical nuclear reaction rates and assumptions on the properties of...
It is not σ<SUB>8</SUB>: constraining the non-linear matter power spectrum with the Dark Energy Survey Year-5 supernova sample
The weak gravitational lensing magnification of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is sensitive to the matter power spectrum on scales $k\gt 1 h$ Mpc $^{-1}$, making...
