    On the HU Aquarii planetary system hypothesis
    In this paper, we investigate the eclipse timing of the polar binary HU Aquarii that has been observed for almost two decades. Recently, Qian et al. attributed...

    On the infant weight loss of low- to intermediate-mass star clusters
    Star clusters are born in a highly compact configuration, typically with radii of less than about 1 pc roughly independently of mass. Since the star formation...

    On the influence of resonant scattering on cosmic microwave background polarization anisotropies
    We implement the theory of resonant scattering in the context of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization anisotropies. We compute the changes in the E...

    On the interpolation of model atmospheres and high-resolution synthetic stellar spectra
    We present tests carried out on optical and infrared stellar spectra to evaluate the accuracy of different types of interpolation. Both model atmospheres and...

    On the lensed blazar B0218+357
    We present an optical spectrum (λλ4000-10 500) of the lensed blazar B0218+357 secured at the 10 m GTC and aimed to investigate and clarify the properties of...

    On the mass of the compact object in GRO J0422+32
    We report the detection of the secondary star spectrum in the hard X-ray transient GRO J0422+32 during its lowest quiescent state. From the amplitude of the...

    On the mass of the neutron star in Cyg X-2
    We present new high-resolution spectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Cyg X-2, which enables us to refine the orbital solution and rotational broadening of...

    On the masses and evolutionary status of the black hole binary GX 339-4: a twin system of XTE J1550-564?
    We apply the K-correction to the black hole low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) GX 339-4 which implies MX >= 6Msolar by only assuming that the companion is more...

    On the morphology of dust lanes in galactic bars
    The aim of our study is to use dynamical simulations to explore the influence of two important dynamical bar parameters, bar strength and bar pattern speed on...
