Optical dropout galaxies lensed by the cluster A2667
Context. We investigate the nature and the physical properties of ten z, Y, and J-dropout galaxies selected in the field of the lensing cluster A2667. Aims...
Optical follow-up of ROSAT discovered candidate members of the open cluster Coma Berenices
We have carried out an optical follow-up of twelve ROSAT discovered candidate members of the Coma Berenices open cluster. VRI photometry and low resolution ( ~...
Optical imaging for the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies. Data release and notes on interacting galaxies
Context. The Spitzer Survey for Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) and its more recently approved extension will lead to a set of 3.6 and 4.5 μm images for...
Aims.We imaged the Lynds 723 dark nebula (L723) with the aim of studying the morphology of the Herbig-Haro object HH 223 and other line-emission nebula detected...
Optical linear polarization in ultra cool dwarfs. A tool to probe dust in the ultra cool dwarf atmospheres
Aims. Recent studies have detected linear polarization in L dwarfs in the optical I band. Theoretical models have been developed to explain this polarization...
Optical nebular emission following the most luminous outburst of Aquila X-1
Aquila X-1 is a prototypical neutron star low mass X-ray binary and one of the most studied X-ray transients. We present optical spectroscopy obtained with the...
Optical novae: the major class of supersoft X-ray sources in M 31
We searched for X-ray counterparts of optical novae detected in M 31 and M 33. We combined an optical nova catalogue from the WeCAPP survey with optical novae...
Optical phase curve of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121b
We present the analysis of TESS optical photometry of WASP-121b, which reveals the phase curve of this transiting ultra-hot Jupiter. Its hotspot is located at...
