We confirm the nova nature of the possible nova M31 2009-08d, discovered by Rafael Ferrando on UT 2009 Aug 15.0950 (discovery image at http://www.pla-de...
Confirmation of the NIR counterparts to SLX 1746-331 and XTE J1810-189
We present infrared observations of the counterparts to the X- ray transients SLX 1746-331 and XTE J1810-189 obtained with the 6.5m Magellan Baade telescope at...
Confirming the Metal-Rich Nature of Stars with Giant Planets
With the goal of confirming the metallicity ``excess'' observed in stars with planetary mass companions, we have conducted a high-precision spectroscopic study...
Confirming Water Ice on the Surface of Asteroid 24 Themis
We have confirmed the detection of a surprising, and so far unique, absorption feature on a main-belt asteroid, 24 Themis. Our 2 to 4 micron reflectance spectra...
We present a study of the properties of radial conformal Killing fields (RCKF) in conformally flat space-times, pointing out its interest in kinematical...
Confronting Dark Matter Models with Nearby Dwarf Irregular Galaxies
Dwarf irregular galaxies, due to their lower masses, relative isolation, and high-quality data availability, are ideal laboratories to test various models of...
Confronting hierarchical clustering models with observations of galaxy pairs
We investigate the star formation activity in galaxy pairs in chemical hydrodynamical simulations consistent with a Lambda-CDM scenario. A statistical analysis...
Connecting the central and global structure of early-type galaxies
A new empirical model that accurately describes the inner and outer light-profiles of early-type galaxies is presented. This model effectively unites the Sérsic...
Connecting the Properties of RR Lyrae Stars in the Milky Way and Andromeda with Local Group Dwarf Galaxies
In this new era of extensive variability surveys, classical pulsators such as RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) and Classical Cepheids play a crucial role. We focus our...
