The First Line Profiles from Cool Field Brown Dwarfs
The empirical study of confirmed brown dwarfs began in 1995. Until this year, however, no ironclad examples of free-floating field brown dwarfs have been...
The First Observation of the Submillimeter Polarization Spectrum in a Low-AV Molecular Cloud
Polarized emission from aligned interstellar dust is both a crucial tool for studies of magnetism in the interstellar medium and a troublesome contaminant in...
The first VHE detection of the blazar S4 0954+65 with the MAGIC telescopes during an exceptionally high optical state
The blazar S4 0954+65 (at a disputed redshift of z=0.368 or z≥0.45) underwent an exceptionally high state in the optical band during January and February 2015...
After the successful launch of the CoRoT (COnvection, ROtation and planetary Transits) satellite we are living in a new era of asteroseismology and extrasolar...
We report the discovery of the first young brown dwarf in the Serpens cloud (BD-Ser 1). It is obscured by more than ten magnitudes of visual absorption as...
The fitting of radial velocity curves using Adaptive Simulated Annealing
We present a new code for fitting radial velocities of stellar binaries and exoplanets using an Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) global minimisation method...
High resolution H alpha and white light observation of the birth of 73 active regions (AR) were used to check models of sunspots. It is concluded that large AR...
The formation and evolution of galaxies. Proceedings.
This volume contains the eight courses which were delivered during the School. The aim of the lectures was to portray a thorough view of our present knowledge...
