Distance determination for RAVE stars using stellar models by Breddels, M, Smith, M, Helmi, A, Bienaymé, O, Binney, J, Bland-Hawthorn, J, Boeche, C, Burnett, B, Campbell, R, Freeman, K, Gibson, B, Gilmore, G, Grebel, E, Munari, U, Navarro, J, Parker, Q, Seabroke, G, Siebert, A, Siviero, A, Steinmetz, M, Watson, F, Williams, M, Wyse, R, Zwitter, T

“…Aims: We develop a method for deriving distances from spectroscopic data and obtaining full 6D phase-space coordinates for the RAVE survey's second data release. Methods: We used stellar models combined with atmospheric properties from RAVE (effective temperature, surface gravity and metallicity) and (J - Ks) photometry from archival sources to derive absolute magnitudes. …”

Tidal disruption events on to stellar black holes in triples by Fragione, G, Leigh, NWC, Perna, R, Kocsis, B

“…We investigate the possibility that triple stars hosting a stellar black hole (SBH) may be sources of TDEs. We start from a triple system made up of three main-sequence stars and model the supernova (SN) kick event that led to the production of an inner binary comprised of an SBH. …”

Stellar populations in the nuclear regions of nearby radio galaxies by Aretxaga, I, Terlevich, E, Terlevich, R, Cotter, G, Diaz, A

“…The strengths of the absorptions are similar to those found in normal elliptical galaxies, but these values are consistent both with stellar populations of roughly similar ages (as derived from the Balmer absorption and break strengths) and with mixed young+old populations.…”

Variation of galactic cold gas reservoirs with stellar mass by Maddox, N, Hess, K, Obreschkow, D, Jarvis, M, Blyth, S

“…The stellar and neutral hydrogen (HI) mass functions at z~0 are fundamental benchmarks for current models of galaxy evolution. …”

Unexpected stellar velocity distribution in the warped Galactic disk by Smart, R, Drimmel, R, Lattanzi, MG, Binney, J

Galaxies with a central minimum in stellar luminosity density by Lauer, T, Gebhardt, K, Richstone, D, Tremaine, S, Bender, R, Bower, G, Dressler, A, Faber, S, Filippenko, A, Green, R, Grillmair, C, Ho, L, Kormendy, J, Magorrian, J, Pinkney, J, Laine, S, Postman, M, van der Marel, R

“…The surface brightness distributions of both galaxies are consistent with stellar tori that are more diffuse than the sharply defined system in NGC 3706. …”

The stellar mass density within spiral galaxy disks by Kranz, T, Slyz, A, Rix, H

“…Although K-band images provide quite a reliable estimate of the stellar mass distribution within the disks of spiral galaxies, we discuss how performing a color correction to reduce local stellar mass-to-light ratio variations leads to shorter disk scale lengths and has a notable effect on the morphology. …”

Structural and Kinematical Constraints on the Formation of Stellar Nuclear Clusters by Hartmann, M, Debattista, V, Seth, A, Cappellari, M, Quinn, T

“…We study the formation of stellar nuclear clusters (NC) with two types of N-body simulations: mergers of star clusters (SC) at the centre of disk galaxies and the accretion of a SC onto a previous NC. …”

Precession of collimated outflows from young stellar objects by Terquem, C, Eisloffel, J, Papaloizou, J, Nelson, R

Butterfly star in Taurus: Structures of young stellar objects by Lucas, P, Roche, P

“…We present high-resolution, near-infrared images of a sample of five low-mass young stellar objects in the Taurus-Auriga dark cloud, mostly observed with the 'shift and add' technique, together with deep polarimetric images. …”

Jeans modelling of the Milky Way’s nuclear stellar disc by Sormani, MC, Magorrian, J, Nogueras-Lara, F, Neumayer, N, Schönrich, R, Klessen, RS, Mastrobuono-Battisti, A

“…The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) is a flattened stellar structure that dominates the gravitational potential of the Milky Way at Galactocentric radii 30 ≲ R ≲ 300 pc. …”

Semianalytical calculation of the zonal-flow oscillation frequency in stellarators by Monreal, P, Sánchez, E, Calvo, I, Bustos, A, Parra, F, Mishchenko, A, Könies, A, Kleiber, R

“…Recently, the problem has been investigated in stellarators and it has been found that in these devices the relaxation process exhibits a characteristic feature: a damped oscillation. …”

Stellar Dynamics and the implications on the merger evolution in NGC6240 by Tecza, M, Genzel, R, Tacconi, L, Anders, S, Tacconi-Garman, L, Thatte, N

“…The stellar velocity dispersion peaks there indicating that the gas has formed a local, self-gravitating concentration decoupled from the stellar gravitational potential. …”

A numerical study of stellar discs in galactic nuclei by Panamarev, T, Kocsis, B

“…We explore the dynamics of stellar discs in the close vicinity of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) by means of direct N-body simulations. …”
