    Fundamental parameters of Galactic luminous OB stars. V. The effect of microturbulence
    We study the effect of microturbulence in the line formation calculations of H and He lines, in the parameter range typical for O and early B stars. We are...

    Fundamental parameters of massive stars in multiple systems: The cases of HD 17505A and HD 206267A
    Context. Many massive stars are part of binary or higher multiplicity systems. The present work focusses on two higher multiplicity systems: HD 17505A and HD...

    Fundamental parameters of nearby stars from the comparison with evolutionary calculations: masses, radii and effective temperatures
    The Hipparcos mission has made it possible to constrain the positions of nearby field stars in the colour-magnitude diagram with very high accuracy. These...

    Fundamental physics with ESPRESSO: Constraining a simple parametrisation for varying α
    Context. The spectrograph ESPRESSO recently obtained a limit on the variation of the fine-structure constant, α, through measurements along the line of sight of...

    Fundamental physics with ESPRESSO: Precise limit on variations in the fine-structure constant towards the bright quasar HE 0515−4414
    The strong intervening absorption system at redshift 1.15 towards the very bright quasar HE 0515−4414 is the most studied absorber for measuring possible...

    Fundamental physics with ESPRESSO: Towards an accurate wavelength calibration for a precision test of the fine-structure constant
    Observations of metal absorption systems in the spectra of distant quasars allow one to constrain a possible variation of the fine-structure constant throughout...

    Fundamental transverse vibrations of the active region solar corona
    Context. Some high-resolution observations have revealed that the active region solar corona is filled with a myriad of thin strands even in apparently uniform...

    Fundamentals of the dwarf fundamental plane
    Aims: Star-forming dwarfs are studied to elucidate the physical underpinnings of their fundamental plane. Processes controlling dynamics are evaluated...
