Stellar spectral models compared with empirical data
The empirical MILES stellar library is used to test the accuracy of three different, state-of-the-art, theoretical model libraries of stellar spectra. These...
Stellar splashback: the edge of the intracluster light
We examine the outskirts of galaxy clusters in the C-EAGLE simulations to quantify the 'edges' of the stellar and dark matter distribution. The radius of the...
Stellar velocity profiles and line strengths out to four effective radii in the early-type galaxies NGC3379 and 821
We use the integral-field spectrograph SAURON to measure the stellar line-of-sight velocity distribution and absorption line strengths out to four effective...
Storms or systematics? The changing secondary eclipse depth of WASP-12b
WASP-12b is one of the most well-studied transiting exoplanets, as its highly inflated radius and its 1.1 d orbit around a G0-type star make it an excellent...
Strategies for optimal sky subtraction in the low surface brightness regime
The low surface brightness (LSB) regime (μ g ≳ 26 mag arcsec -2) comprises a vast, mostly unexplored discovery space, from dwarf galaxies to the diffuse...
STRIDES: automated uniform models for 30 quadruply imaged quasars
Gravitational time delays provide a powerful one-step measurement of H 0, independent of all other probes. One key ingredient in time-delay cosmography are high...
Strong chemical tagging with APOGEE: 21 candidate star clusters that have dissolved across the Milky Way disc
Chemically tagging groups of stars born in the same birth cluster is a major goal of spectroscopic surveys. To investigate the feasibility of such strong...
Massive Early-Type Galaxies (ETGs) in the local Universe are believed to be the most mature stage of galaxy evolution. Their stellar population content reveals...
Strong lensing reveals jets in a sub-microJy radio-quiet quasar
We present e-MERLIN and European VLBI Network observations which reveal unambiguous jet activity within radio-quiet quasar HS 0810+2554. With an intrinsic flux...
