    Substellar objects in star formation regions: A deep near infrared study in the Serpens cloud
    We present near infrared (J, H and Ks) observations of a 5'× 10' sample field in the Serpens Star Formation region obtained with SOFI at the NTT. These...

    Sulphur and zinc abundances in Galactic halo stars revisited
    Aims:Based on a new set of sulphur abundances in very metal-poor stars and an improved analysis of previous data, we aim at resolving current discrepancies on...

    Sunspot irradiance deficit, facular excess, and the energy balance of solar active regions.
    Plage areas and intensities derived from CaIIK spectroheliograms are used as a proxy for the facular irradiance excess of solar active regions for the period 19...

    Sunspot seismic halos generated by fast MHD wave refraction
    Aims: We suggest an explanation for the high-frequency power excess surrounding active regions known as seismic halos. Methods: We use numerical simulations of...

    Super-orbital variability of LS I +61°303 at TeV energies
    Context. The gamma-ray binary LS I +61°303 is a well-established source from centimeter radio up to very high energy (VHE; E> 100 GeV). The broadband emission...

    Superbursts at near-Eddington mass accretion rates
    Models for superbursts from neutron stars involving carbon shell flashes predict that the mass accretion rate should be anywhere in excess of one tenth of the...

    Superluminal non-ballistic jet swing in the quasar NRAO 150 revealed by mm-VLBI
    Context: NRAO 150, a compact and bright radio to mm source showing core/jet structure, has been recently identified as a quasar at redshift z = 1.52 through a...
