We have obtained low resolution infrared spectra of 21 brown dwarf candidates, selected from a survey performed at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The...
Infrared Spectra of Comet-Asteroid Transition Object 944 Hidalgo
Asteroid 944 Hidalgo is suspected of being an extinct comet. Understanding the origin of this enigmatic object is relevant to several areas of planetary...
Recently a number of works have given interesting results on the penumbral fine structure of sunpots (del Toro Iniesta, Bellot Rubio & Collados 2001...
Using CGS4 on UKIRT, we have obtained 2.00--2.45 mu m infrared spectra of a number of low-mass X-ray binaries including Sco X-1, Sco X-2, and GX13+1. Sco X-1...
Infrared Spectroscopy Of V404 CYGNI. Limits On The Accretion Disc Contamination
We have obtained for the first time 2.10 - 2.45 micron infrared spectra of soft X-ray transient V404 Cygni. We determine a 95 percent confidence upper limit to...
Binary models of symbiotic stars are discussed, analyzing the results of recent IR observations. It is indicated that a binary must have component masses of...
