We analyse a high-resolution, fully cosmological, hydrodynamical disc galaxy simulation, to study the source of the double-exponential light profiles seen in...

PublicationThe origin of the LMC stellar bar: clues from the SFH of the bar and inner disc
We discuss the origin of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) stellar bar by comparing the star formation histories (SFHs) obtained from deep colour-magnitude...

PublicationThe origin of the mid-infrared nuclear polarization of active galactic nuclei
We combine new (NGC 1275, NGC 4151, and NGC 5506) and previously published (Cygnus A, Mrk 231, and NGC 1068) sub-arcsecond resolution mid-infrared (MIR; 8-13 μm...

PublicationThe origin of the planetary nebula M 1-16. A morpho-kinematic and chemical analysis
We investigated the origin of the Planetary Nebula (PN) M 1-16 using narrow-band optical imaging, and high- and low-resolution optical spectra to perform a...

PublicationThe Origin of the Relation between Metallicity and Size in Star-forming Galaxies
For the same stellar mass, physically smaller star-forming galaxies are also metal richer. What causes the relation remains unclear. The central star-forming...

PublicationThe origin of the reversed granulation in the solar photosphere
Aims:We study the structure and reveal the physical nature of the reversed granulation pattern in the solar photosphere by means of 3-dimensional radiative...

PublicationThe origin of the tilted disc in the low-mass X-ray binary GR Mus (XB 1254-690)
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the low-mass X-ray binary GR Mus (XB 1254-690), and find strong evidence for the presence of a negative...

PublicationThe Origin of Weakened Magnetic Braking in Old Solar Analogs
The rotation rates of main-sequence stars slow over time as they gradually lose angular momentum to their magnetized stellar winds. The rate of angular momentum...

PublicationThe origins of post-starburst galaxies at z < 0.05
Post-starburst galaxies can be identified via the presence of prominent Hydrogen Balmer absorption lines in their spectra. We present a comprehensive study of...
