    The nature of proximate damped Lyman α systems
    We present high-resolution echelle spectra of seven proximate damped Lyman α (PDLA) systems. The relative velocity separation of each PDLA from the background...

    The nature of the Cygnus extreme B supergiant 2MASS J20395358+4222505
    2MASS J20395358+4222505 is an obscured early B supergiant near the massive OB star association Cygnus OB2. Despite its bright infrared magnitude (K s = 5.82) it...

    The nature of the Kleinmann-Low nebula
    Recent data on, and interpretations of the Kleinmann-Low nebula are examined. It is suggested that associated high velocity gas is radiatively accelerated by a...

    The nature of the X-ray sources in dwarf galaxies in nearby clusters from the KIWICS
    We present a deep search for and analysis of X-ray sources in a sample of dwarf galaxies (M r < -15.5 mag) located within twelve galaxy clusters from the...

    The NCORES programme: precise planetary masses, null results, and insight into the planet mass distribution near the radius gap
    NCORES was a large observing programme on the ESO HARPS spectrograph, dedicated to measuring the masses of Neptune-like and smaller transiting planets...

    The near-infrared Ca II triplet as a metallicity indicator - II. Extension to extremely metal-poor metallicity regimes
    We extend our previous calibration of the infrared Ca II triplet (CaT) as a metallicity indicator to the metal-poor regime by including observations of 55 field...

    The nearest extreme starburst: bubbles, young star clusters and outflow in the merger NGC 3256
    We have studied the extreme starburst in the infrared merger NGC 3256. We detect four galactic bubbles (using ESO New Technology Telescope and Hubble Space...
