PublicaciónAn old, metal-poor globular cluster in Sextans A and the metallicity floor of globular cluster systems
We report the confirmation of an old, metal-poor globular cluster (GC) in the nearby dwarf irregular galaxy Sextans A, the first GC known in this galaxy. The...

PublicaciónAn updated stellar census of the Quintuplet cluster
Context. Found within the central molecular zone, the Quintuplet is one of the most massive young clusters in the Galaxy. As a consequence it offers the...

PublicaciónAn X-ray-quiet black hole born with a negligible kick in a massive binary within the Large Magellanic Cloud
Stellar-mass black holes are the final remnants of stars born with more than 15 solar masses. Billions are expected to reside in the Local Group, yet only a few...

PublicaciónAnalysing the structure of the bulge with Mira variables
Context. The Galactic bulge at latitude 4 < |b|(deg) < 10 was claimed to show an X-shape, which means that stellar density distributions along the line of sight...

PublicaciónAnalysis of absorption lines in the high-resolution spectra of five hot post-AGB candidates
From an analysis of absorption lines in the high-resolution spectra, we have derived the radial velocities, stellar parameters (T eff, log g, wind-strength...

PublicaciónAnalysis of chemical abundances in planetary nebulae with [WC] central stars. I. Line intensities and physical conditions
Context. Planetary nebulae (PNe) around Wolf-Rayet [WR] central stars ([WR]PNe) constitute a particular photoionized nebula class that represents about 10% of...

PublicaciónAnalysis of chemical abundances in planetary nebulae with [WC] central stars. II. Chemical abundances and the abundance discrepancy factor
Aims: We present the abundance analysis of 12 planetary nebulae ionized by [WC]-type stars and weak-emission-line stars (wels) obtained from high-resolution...

PublicaciónAnalysis of integral field spectroscopy observations of the planetary nebula Hen 2-108 and its central star
The study of planetary nebulae provides important constraints for many aspects of stellar and Galactic evolution. Hen 2-108 is a poorly known planetary nebula...
