We report new Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 and NICMOS observations of the center of the nearest radio galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) and discuss their...
Unveiling the bulge-disc structure, AGN feedback, and baryon landscape in a massive spiral galaxy with Mpc-scale radio jets
We study the bulge-disc components and stellar mass distribution in the fast-rotating, highly massive spiral galaxy 2MASX J23453268-0449256, which is...
Unveiling the Central Parsec Region of an Active Galactic Nucleus: The Circinus Nucleus in the Near-Infrared with the Very Large Telescope
VLT J- to M'-band adaptive optics observations of the Circinus galaxy on parsec scales resolve a central bright Ks-band source with a FWHM size of 1.9+/-0.6 pc...
Unveiling the chemical fingerprint of phosphorus-rich stars. I. In the infrared region of APOGEE-2
Context The origin of phosphorus, one of the essential elements for life on Earth, is currently unknown. Prevalent models of Galactic chemical evolution (GCE)...
Unveiling the chemical fingerprint of phosphorus-rich stars: II. Heavy-element abundances from UVES/VLT spectra
Context. The atmospheres of phosphorus-rich (P-rich) stars have been shown to contain between 10 and 100 times more P than our Sun. Given its crucial role as an...
Unveiling the environment and faint features of the isolated galaxy CIG 96 with deep optical and HI observations
Context. Asymmetries in atomic hydrogen (HI) in galaxies are often caused by the interaction with close companions, making isolated galaxies an ideal framework...
Unveiling the ice and gas nature of active centaur (2060) Chiron using the James Webb Space Telescope
Context. (2060) Chiron is a large centaur that has been reported active on multiple occasions at relatively large heliocentric distances, including during...
Unveiling the internal structure and formation history of the three planets transiting HIP 29442 (TOI-469) with CHEOPS
Multiplanetary systems spanning the radius valley are ideal testing grounds for exploring the different proposed explanations for the observed bimodality in the...
Unveiling the internal structure of massive supergiants: HD 163899
Supergiant massive stars are post-main sequence stars. During the H shell burning phase of evolution, they present a radiative core in which a strong damping...
