(2002-11)Stephan's Quintet (SQ) is a system consisting of at least four interacting galaxies which is well known for its complex dynamical and star formation history. It possesses a rich intergalactic medium (IGM), where hydrogen ... -
Abundant molecular gas in tidal dwarf galaxies: On-going galaxy formation
(2001-10)We investigate the process of galaxy formation as can be observed in the only currently forming galaxies { the so-called Tidal Dwarf Galaxies, hereafter TDGs { through observations of the molecular gas detected via its CO ... -
Abuse of Prescription Drugs in the Context of Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS): A Systematic Review
(2018-04-22)Recently, a range of prescription and over-the-counter drugs have been reportedly used as Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS), due to their potential for abuse resulting from their high dosage/idiosyncratic methods of ... -
ACA [CI] observations of the starburst galaxy NGC 253
(2016-08-01)Context. Carbon monoxide (CO) is widely used as a tracer of the molecular gas in almost all types of environments. However, several shortcomings of CO complicate usaging it as H2 tracer, such as its optical depth effects, ... -
An Academic Approach to Digital Forensics
(2015)Digital forensics as a field of study creates a number of challenges when it comes to the academic environment. The aim of this paper is to explore these challenges in relation to the learning and teaching theories. We ... -
