We have analysed a sample of 18 RR Lyrae stars (17 fundamental-mode - RRab - and one first overtone - RRc) and three Population II Cepheids (two BL Her stars and one W Vir...

We present detailed chemical compositions of 10 red giant star members of the Galactic (open) cluster NGC 752, derived from high-resolution (R~60000), high signal-to-noise...

We present detailed chemical analyses for a sample of 12 stars selected from the CH star catalogue of Bartkevicius (1996BaltA...5..217B). The sample includes two confirmed...

As part of a long-term programme, we analyse the evolutionary status and properties of the old and populous open cluster Trumpler 5 (Tr 5), located in the Galactic anticentre...

This paper presents an absorption-line study of the multiphase circumgalactic medium (CGM) based on observations of Ly{alpha}, CII, CIV, SiII, SiIII, and SiIV absorption...

We present an investigation of the optical spectra of 264 low-redshift (z<0.2) Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory, an untargeted...

We present the results of a survey for CaII {lambda}{lambda}3934,3969 absorption-line systems culled from ~95000 Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 and Data Release...

We present the data release of the Gemini-South GMOS spectroscopy in the fields of 11 galaxy groups at 0.8<z<1, within the COSMOS field. This forms the basis of the Galaxy...

We present an all-sky catalogue of 2970 nearby (d<~50pc), bright (J<9) M- or late K-type dwarf stars, 86% of which have been confirmed by spectroscopy. This catalogue will...

The validity of the emission-line luminosity versus ionized gas velocity dispersion (L-{sigma}) correlation for HII galaxies (HIIGx) and its potential as an accurate distance...

We present the identification of optical counterparts to 23 GBS X-ray sources. All sources are classified as accreting binaries according to the emission-line characteristics...

We present a detailed study of the strengths of the calcium triplet absorption lines in the spectra of a large sample of red giant members of the luminous outer Galactic halo...

We present the chemical abundance measurements of the first large, medium-resolution, uniformly selected damped Lyman {alpha} system (DLA) survey. The sample contains 99 DLAs...

We present the results of the analysis of high-resolution spectra obtained with UVES-FLAMES at the Very Large Telescope for six red giant branch stars in the outer-halo...

At low redshifts, dust-obscured quasars often have strong yet narrow permitted lines in the rest-frame optical and ultraviolet, excited by the central active nucleus, earning...

We present a comprehensive investigation of the {epsilon} Chamaeleontis association, one of several young moving groups spread across the southern sky. We re-assess the putative...

We extend our previous calibration of the infrared CaII triplet (CaT) as a metallicity indicator to the metal-poor regime by including observations of 55 field stars with [Fe/H]...

We present the results from a time domain study of absorption lines detected in quasar spectra with repeat observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS...

We present a method to estimate the total gas column density, dust-to-gas and dust-to-metal ratios of distant galaxies from rest-frame optical spectra. The technique exploits...

We present the optical spectroscopy for the Blind Ultra Deep HI Environmental Survey (BUDHIES). With the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope, BUDHIES has detected HI in over...
