STAR FORMATION AND THE ORIGIN OF STELLAR MASSES by Podsiadlowski, P, Price, N

Common-envelope evolution and stellar mergers by Podsiadlowski, P

“…In this case, it is possible that a CE system (contact system) may become semi-detached again without experiencing significant spiral-in, and the mass loss from the contact configuration is best described by a frictionally driven stellar wind. If the spiralling-in star is compact, CE ejection may also occur when it penetrates below the convective envelope. …”

The nuclear stellar cluster in NGC 1068 by Thatte, N, Genzel, R, Kroker, H, Krabbe, A, TacconiGarman, L, Maiolino, R, Tecza, M

“…We present new near-infrared integral field spectroscopy and adaptive optics imaging of the nucleus of NGC 1068. Using the stellar CO absorption features in the H and K bands, we have identified a moderately extincted stellar core centered on the nuclear position and of intrinsic size similar to 50 pc. …”

Stellar populations in brightest cluster galaxies by Loubser, S, Sanchez-Blazquez, P, Soechting, I, Sansom, A

“…We present the results of an investigation of a large sample of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), their kinematic and stellar population properties and the relationships between these and the properties of the host clusters. …”

Hydrogen-poor superluminous stellar explosions. by Quimby, R, Kulkarni, SR, Kasliwal, M, Gal-Yam, A, Arcavi, I, Sullivan, M, Nugent, P, Thomas, R, Howell, D, Nakar, E, Bildsten, L, Theissen, C, Law, N, Dekany, R, Rahmer, G, Hale, D, Smith, R, Ofek, E, Zolkower, J, Velur, V, Walters, R, Henning, J, Bui, K, McKenna, D, Poznanski, D

“…Supernovae are stellar explosions driven by gravitational or thermonuclear energy that is observed as electromagnetic radiation emitted over weeks or more. …”

The evolution of the stellar hosts of radio galaxies by Lacy, M, Bunker, A, Ridgway, SE

“…The hosts brighten significantly with redshift, consistent with the passive evolution of a stellar population that formed at z ≳ 3. This scenario is consistent with studies of host galaxy morphology and submillimeter continuum emission, both of which show strong evolution at z ≳ 2.5. …”

The nuclear stellar cluster in NGC 1068 by Thatte, N, Genzel, R, Tacconi, L, Krabbe, A, Kroker, H

“…We have imaged a compact stellar cluster, with a characteristic size of 50 pc, toward the nucleus of NGC 1068, using near IR imaging spectroscopy of stellar absorption features in the H and K bands. …”

Kinematical signatures of hidden stellar discs by Magorrian, J

Gas and stellar kinematics in NGC 6240 by Tecza, M, Tacconi, L, Genzel, R

“…We present results from sub-arcsecond near infrared integral field spectroscopy and millimeter IRAM-interferometry of the interacting galaxy NGC 6240. Using stellar absorption features in the NIR we determined the stellar velocity field and dispersion in NGC 6240. …”

Disk heating and stellar migration in galaxies by Binney, J, Sellwood, J

“…The paper claimed that significant radial migration of stars in a stellar disk like that of the Milky Way could not occur. …”

SUPERMASSIVE BLACK-HOLES WITH STELLAR COMPANIONS by Podsiadlowski, P, Rees, M

Stellar populations in the SAMI Galaxy Survey by Watson, PJ

“…We apply this method to galaxies drawn from the SAMI Galaxy Survey, deriving seeing-corrected radial stellar population gradients for 1453 galaxies. On average, galaxies in our sample have flat age and [α/Fe] gradients, but negative metallicity gradients. …”

Stellar populations in KDCs of Sa galaxies by Falcn-Barroso, J, Bacon, R, Cappellari, M, Davies, R, De Zeeuw, P, Emsellem, E, Krajnović, D, Kuntschner, H, McDermid, R, Peletier, R, Sarzi, M, Van De Ven, G

“…We show how the V/ maps can be used to highlight the presence of the KDC and investigate their stellar populations (i.e. age) to understand their origin (i.e. secular vs hierarchical scenarios). …”

Modelling the Milky Way stellar halo by Fermani, F

“…<p>We motivate the importance of understanding the kinematics and dynamics of the Milky Way stellar halo both in unravelling the formation history and evolution of our host Galaxy and in the more general context of galaxy dynamics.…”

The value of density measurements in stellar coronae by Ness, J, Jordan, C

On the formation of dwarf galaxies and stellar haloes by Read, J, Pontzen, A, Viel, M

“…We show that this gives a metallicity and total stellar mass consistent with the MW old stellar halo. © 2006 RAS.…”

STELLAR DISTRIBUTION-FUNCTIONS FOR GALACTIC DISKS by Villumsen, J, Binney, J

Flow damping in stellarators close to quasisymmetry by Calvo, I, Parra, F, Velasco, J, Alonso, J

“…Quasisymmetric stellarators are a type of optimized stellarators for which flows are undamped to lowest order in an expansion in the normalized Larmor radius. …”
