The Frequency of Large Radius Hot and Very Hot Jupiters in omega Ce…

We present the results of a deep, wide-field search for transiting `Hot Jupiter (HJ)' planets in the globular cluster omega Centauri. As a result of …

The Globular Cluster Systems in the Coma Ellipticals. IV: WFPC2 Pho…

We analyze photometric data in V and I for the globular cluster (GC) systems in five of the giant ellipticals in the Coma Cluster: NGC 4874, 4881, 48…

Stellar Population and Kinematic Profiles in Spiral Bulges & Disks: …

We present a detailed study of the stellar populations (SPs) and kinematics of the bulge and inner disk regions of eight nearby spiral galaxies (Sa-S…

LCDM Satellites and HI Companions - The Arecibo ALFA Survey of NGC 29…

We have conducted a deep, complete HI survey, using Arecibo/ALFA, of a field centered on the nearby, isolated galaxy, NGC 2903, which is similar to t…

A 2dF spectroscopic study of globular clusters in NGC 5128: Probing t…

We have performed a spectroscopic study of globular clusters (GCs) in the giant elliptical NGC 5128 using the 2dF facility at the Anglo-Australian te…

The Formation and Evolution of Virgo Cluster Galaxies - I. Broadband …

We use a combination of deep optical (gri) and near-infrared (H) photometry to study the radially-resolved colours of a broad sample of 300 Virgo clu…

CHANG-ES IX: Radio scale heights and scale lengths of a consistent …

The vertical halo scale height is a crucial parameter to understand the transport of cosmic-ray electrons (CRE) and their energy loss mechanisms in s…

55 Cancri: A Coplanar Planetary System that is Likely Misaligned with…

Although the 55 Cnc system contains multiple, closely packed planets that are presumably in a coplanar configuration, we use numerical simulations to…

On the Uncertainties of Stellar Mass Estimates via Colour Measurements

Mass-to-light versus colour relations (MLCRs), derived from stellar population synthesis models, are widely used to estimate galaxy stellar masses (M…

Bayesian Investigation of Isochrone Consistency Using the Old Open …

This paper provides a detailed comparison of the differences in parameters derived for a star cluster from its color-magnitude diagrams depending on …

Simulating a slow bar in the low surface brightness galaxy UGC 628

We present a disc-halo N-body model of the low surface brightness galaxy UGC 628, one of the few systems that harbours a "slow" bar with a ratio of c…

A New Approach to Detailed Structural Decomposition from the SPLASH a…

We characterize the bulge, disk, and halo subcomponents in the Andromeda galaxy (M31) over the radial range 4 < R_proj < 225 kpc. The cospatial natur…

The Luminosity Profile and Structural Parameters of the Andromeda Gal…

We have constructed an extended composite luminosity profile for the Andromeda galaxy, M31, and have decomposed it into three basic luminous structur…

An Observational Evaluation of Magnetic Confinement in the Winds of B…

Magnetic wind confinement has been proposed as one explanation for the complex wind structures of supergiant stars of spectral types B and A. Observa…

Visualizing Spacetime Curvature via Gradient Flows III: The Kerr Metr…

The Kerr metric is one of the most important solutions to Einstein's field equations, describing the gravitational field outside a rotating black hol…

Eccentricity Trap: Trapping of Resonantly Interacting Planets near th…

Using orbital integration and analytical arguments, we have found a new mechanism (an "eccentricity trap") to halt type I migration of planets near t…

A Survey of 286 Virgo Cluster Galaxies at Optical griz and Near-IR …

We present griz and H-band surface brightness profiles and bulge-disk decompositions for a morphologically-broad sample of 286 Virgo cluster galaxies…
