Context. The source R Aquarii is a symbiotic binary surrounded by a large and complex nebula with a prominent curved jet. It is one of the closest known...
New insights into the role of AGNs in forming the cluster red sequence
As a considerable investment of time from various telescope facilities was dedicated toward studying the Spiderweb protocluster at z = 2.2, it so far remains...
New insights on Stephan's Quintet: exploring the shock in three dimensions
Aims: We study the ionized gas emission from the large scale shock region of Stephan's Quintet (SQ). Methods: We carried out integral field unit (IFU) optical...
Four time series of IRIS data (4 to 6 months) have been used to obtain improved measurements of the low degree (l=1,2,3) rotational splitting frequencies...
New Isolated Planetary-mass Objects and the Stellar and Substellar Mass Function of the σ Orionis Cluster
We report on our analysis of the VISTA Orion ZY JHKs photometric data (completeness magnitudes of Z = 22.6 and J = 21.0 mag) focusing on a circular area of 2798...
Context. The kinematics of the Milky Way bulge is known to be complex, reflecting the presence of multiple stellar components with distinct chemical and spatial...
We present deep broadband R and narrowband Hα images of Stephan's Quintet. The observations in the R band show that the diffuse halo of Stephan's Quintet is...
New Light in Star-Forming Dwarf Galaxies: The PMAS Integral Field View of the Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy Mrk 409
We present an integral field spectroscopic study of the central 2 × 2 kpc2 of the blue compact dwarf galaxy Mrk 409, observed with the Potsdam MultiAperture...
New Light on an Old Problem of the Cores of Solar Resonance Lines
We reexamine a 50+ yr old problem of deep central reversals predicted for strong solar spectral lines, in contrast to the smaller reversals seen in observations...
