The effects of seeing on the parameters of the Sèrsic profile are studied in an analytical form using a Gaussian point spread function. The surface brightness...
The effects of seeing on Sérsic profiles - II. The Moffat PSF
The effects of seeing on Sérsic r1/n profile parameters are extensively studied using a Moffat function. This analytical approximation to the point spread...
The Electrical Current Density Vector in the Inner Penumbra of a Sunspot
We determine the entire electrical current density vector in a geometrical three-dimensional volume of the inner penumbra of a sunspot from an inversion of...
The energy-dependent temporal variation of the ROSAT PSPC gain.
The existence of systematic spectral-fit residuals in ROSAT PSPC spectra, and their dependence on time, is by now a well established fact. This paper describes...
The ability of any Machine Learning method to classify the spectra of galaxies depending on the properties of the stellar component rests on the information...
The entropy of galaxy spectra: how much information is encoded?
The inverse problem of extracting the stellar population content of galaxy spectra is analysed here from a basic standpoint based on information theory. By...
The ESPRESSO transmission spectrum of HD189733 b: Extracting the planetary sodium and lithium signatures amid stellar contamination
Context. While transmission spectroscopy has allowed us to detect many atomic and molecular species in exoplanet atmospheres, the improvement in resolution and...
The evolution of the binary population in globular clusters: a full analytical computation
I present a simplified analytical model that simulates the evolution of the binary population in a dynamically evolving globular cluster. A number of...
