PG 1351+489 is one of the 20 DBVs - pulsating helium-atmosphere white dwarf stars - known and has the simplest power spectrum for this class of star, making it...
The puzzle of isolated and quenched dwarf galaxies in cosmic voids
We report, for the first time, the detection of a sample of quenched and isolated dwarf galaxies (with 8.9 < log(M ⋆/M ⊙) < 9.5) in the least dense regions of...
The puzzling case of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J00291+5934: flaring optical emission during quiescence
We present an optical (gri) study during quiescence of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J00291+5934 performed with the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias...
The puzzling interpretation of NIR indices: The case of NaI2.21
We present a detailed study of the Na I line strength index centred in the K band at 22 100 Å (NaI2.21 hereafter) relying on different samples of early-type...
The Puzzling Li-Rich Red Giant Associated With Ngc 6819
A Li-rich red giant (RG) star (2M19411367+4003382) recently discovered in the direction of NGC 6819 belongs to the rare subset of Li-rich stars that have not...
The puzzling merging cluster Abell 1914: new insights from the kinematics of member galaxies
We analyse the dynamical state of Abell 1914, a merging cluster hosting a radio halo, quite unusual for its structure. Our study considers spectroscopic data...
The puzzling orbital period evolution of the LMXB AX J1745.6-2901
The orbital period evolution of X-ray binaries provides fundamental clues to understanding mechanisms of angular momentum transfer and loss in these systems. We...
The Puzzling White Dwarf Cooling Sequence in NGC 6791: A Simple Solution
In this Letter we demonstrate that the puzzling bright peak in the luminosity function of the white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence of NGC 6791 can be naturally...
The quantity of dark matter in early-type galaxies and its relation to the environment
We study the behaviour of the dynamical and stellar mass inside the effective radius of early-type galaxies (ETGs) as a function of environment considering...
