  • The role of stellar radial motions in shaping galaxy surface brightness profiles
    Aims: The physics driving features such as breaks observed in galaxy surface brightness (SB) profiles remains contentious. Here, we assess the importance of stellar radial motions in shaping their characteristics. Methods: We use the simulated Milky Way-mass cosmological discs from the Ramses Disc Environment Study (RaDES) to characterise the

  • The Role of the Popular Article in Astronomy Communication
    Over recent decades there has been a proliferation of special-interest magazines dedicated to astronomy. In spite of the undoubted market for specialist feature articles on astronomy such articles appeal to a restricted sector of the general public and rarely appear in the daily or weekly press. I argue here that, apart from television documentary

  • The ROSAT UK Medium Sensitivity Survey: optical identification and relation to X-ray spectral properties
    We present the first results on the optical identification of 89 sources with S(0.5-2 keV)>=1.7x10^-14 erg s^-1 cm^-2 detected in eight ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) observations targeted on the second Lockman hole region. Because of the low Galactic HI column density towards this field [N_HI~(6-12)x10^19 cm^-2] the X-ray

  • The Rotation of Comet 1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) at Perihelion
    Narrow band near infrared images of comet 1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp), where obtained in day-time, during April 1997, using the 1.52m Carlos Sanchez Telescope, at Teide Observatory (Tenerife, Spain), by the Comet Hale Bopp European Team. The comet was observed continuously for up to 11 hours hours each day on a total of 15 days. This allows us to obtain a

  • The rotation-metallicity relation for the Galactic disk as measured in the Gaia DR1 TGAS and APOGEE data
    Aims: Previous studies have found that the Galactic rotation velocity-metallicity (V-[Fe/H]) relations for the thin and thick disk populations show negative and positive slopes, respectively. The first Gaia data release includes the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) information, which we use to analyze the V-[Fe/H] relation for a strictly
