Dwarf galaxies offer an opportunity to understand the properties of low metallicity star formation both today and at the earliest times at the epoch of the...
Stars with and without planets: Where do they come from?
A long and thorough investigation of chemical abundances of planet-hosting stars that lasted for more than a decade has finally beared fruit. We explore a...
Starting the first transit survey from space with the CoRoT satellite
Successfully launched on 27 December 2006 CoRoT started, about one month later, the first photometric survey aimed at detecting planetary transits from space...
Static telescope aberration measurement and correction using lucky imaging techniques
A procedure has been developed to compute static aberrations after the PSF measured with the lucky imaging technique, using a nearby star as the point source to...
Stationkeeping of a quasiperiodic halo orbit using invariant manifolds
Stationkeeping of quasiperiodic orbits near a periodic halo orbit of the Earth+Moon-Sun system is analyzed. The full solar system is considered as a...
Stationkeeping of libration point orbits, executive summary
Stationkeeping for near halo orbits in the Earth-Moon-Sun system is studied. The full solar system is considered as a perturbation of the restricted three body...
