Kepler observations of the variability in B-type stars
The analysis of the light curves of 48 B-type stars observed by Kepler is presented. Among these are 15 pulsating stars, all of which show low frequencies...
KIC 10449976: discovery of an extreme helium subdwarf in the Kepler field
Optical spectroscopy of the blue star KIC 10449976 shows that it is an extremely helium-rich subdwarf with effective temperature Teff = 40 000 ± 300 K and...
KIC 4768731: a bright long-period roAp star in the Kepler field
We report the identification of 61.45 d-1 (711.2 μHz) oscillations, with amplitudes of 62.6 μmag, in KIC 4768731 (HD 225914) using Kepler photometry. This...
Kilonova Seekers: the GOTO project for real-time citizen science in time-domain astrophysics
Time-domain astrophysics continues to grow rapidly, with the inception of new surveys drastically increasing data volumes. Democratized, distributed approaches...
Kinematic analysis of eagle simulations: evolution of λ<SUB>Re</SUB> and its connection with mergers and gas accretion
We have developed a new tool to analyse galaxies in the eagle simulations as close as possible to observations. We investigated the evolution of their kinematic...
Kinematic misalignment as a driver of black hole activity in galaxies with external interactions
The process of active galactic nuclei (AGN) fuelling relies on the transport of gas across several orders of magnitude in physical scale until the gas reaches...
Kinematical studies of the low-mass X-ray binary GRMus (XB1254-690)
We present simultaneous high-resolution optical spectroscopy and X-ray data of the X-ray binary system GRMus (XB1254-690), obtained over a full range of orbital...
Kinematics of Arp 270: gas flows, nuclear activity and two regimes of star formation
We have observed the Arp 270 system (NGC 3395 and NGC 3396) in Hα emission using the Galaxy Hα Fabry-Perot spectrometer on the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope...
Kinematics of globular cluster systems and the formation of early-type galaxies
We numerically investigate the kinematic properties of globular cluster systems (GCSs) in E/S0 galaxies formed from dissipationless merging of spiral galaxies...
