Several kiloparsec-scale X-ray jets have now been discovered with the Chandra X-ray Observatory, extending up to ~50 kpc (projected distance) from the active...
Kinematic Analysis of the Double-Barred Galaxy NGC 357
We present a kinematic analysis of the double-barred early-type galaxy NGC 357. The radial velocity and velocity dispersion profiles along both the nuclear bar...
Kinematic Clues to OB Field Star Origins: Radial Velocities, Runaways, and Binaries
Field OB stars are a crucial probe of star formation in extreme conditions. Properties of massive stars formed in relative isolation can distinguish between...
Kinematic Determination of the Luminosity Function in the Solar Neighbourhood
The luminosity function is not only crucial to know stellar density distribution in space, and thus to know the structure of the Galaxy, but it allows the...
Kinematic measurements of gas and stars in spiral galaxies
In this article we first give a brief historically based survey of kinematic observations, essentially of rotation curves, of spiral galaxies produced as...
Kinematic Modelling of the Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
We present the first results from the mass modelling of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, using spectroscopic data from our VLT/FLAMES CaII triplet wide...
Star clusters provide a unique and powerful probe useful for studying the star formation histories of galaxies. In particular, the ages, metallicities and...
Kinematic properties of superbubbles in the Antennae, M83 and Arp 270
Superbubbles and large scale expansion in galaxies are important indicators of activity in galaxies: they are formed in starbursts and around active nuclei...
