    Effects of density and temperature variations on the metallicity of Mrk 71
    In a very recent work, [1] claim that the scenario of temperature inhomogeneities proposed by [2] ($t2$ > 0) is not able to explain the O$^{2+}$/H$^{+}$...

    Electron temperature fluctuations in Seyfert galaxies
    We use Gemini GMOS-IFU observations of three luminous nearby Seyfert galaxies (Mrk 79, Mrk 348, and Mrk 607) to estimate the electron temperature (T e)...

    Elemental Abundances of Kepler Objects of Interest in APOGEE. I. Two Distinct Orbital Period Regimes Inferred from Host Star Iron Abundances
    The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) has observed ∼600 transiting exoplanets and exoplanet candidates from Kepler (Kepler Objects...

    EMIR, the near-infrared camera and multi-object spectrograph for the GTC. EMIR at GTC
    We present EMIR, a powerful near-infrared (NIR) camera and multi-object spectrograph (MOS) installed at the Nasmyth focus of the 10.4 m GTC. EMIR was...

    Empirical mass-loss rates and clumping properties of O-type stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
    Context. The nature of mass-loss in massive stars is one of the most important and difficult to constrain processes in the evolution of massive stars. The...

    EPOXI: Comet 103P/Hartley 2 Observations from a Worldwide Campaign
    Earth- and space-based observations provide synergistic information for space mission encounters by providing data over longer timescales, at different...

    Erratum: The VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars: atmospheric parameters and rotational velocity distributions for B-type stars in the Magellanic Clouds
    We correct the estimates of the dispersions in the rotational velocities for early-type stars in our Galaxy (Dufton et al. 2006, A&A, 457, 265) and the...

    Estimating fundamental parameters of nearby M dwarfs from SPIRou spectra
    We present the results of a study aiming at retrieving the fundamental parameters of M dwarfs from spectra secured with SPIRou, the near-infrared high...

    Estimating the atmospheric properties of 44 M dwarfs from SPIRou spectra
    We describe advances on a method designed to derive accurate parameters of M dwarfs. Our analysis consists in comparing high-resolution infrared spectra...
