TL;DR: In this paper, the authors re-address the classification criterion for extremely red galaxies (ERGs) of Pozzetti & Mannucci, which aims to separate, in the I c - K versus J - K colour-colour diagram, passively evolving, old (≥1 Gyr) stellar populations in a dust-free environment, associated with ellipticals (Es), from dusty starburst galaxies (DSGs), both at 1 < z < 2.

TL;DR: In this article, the long-slit spectra obtained along the minor axis, offset major axis, and diagonal axis are presented for 12 E and S0 galaxies of the Coma Cluster drawn from a magnitude-limited sample studied before.

TL;DR: SMART as discussed by the authors is a 3D implementation of the Schwarzschild method and its application to a triaxial N-body merger simulation, which is designed to deal with nonparametric stellar and DM densities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Monte-Carlo simulations to calculate the detection efficiency of the Pan-Planets survey for different stellar and planetary populations, and they were able to determine an occurrence rate of 0.34% with a 95% confidence on the hot Jupiter occurrence rate for M dwarfs.

TL;DR: In this paper, a template set of spectral energy distributions (SEDs) is constructed for the estimation of photometric redshifts of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) with a Bayesian template fitting method.
