The mass content of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy
We present a new determination of the mass content of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, based on a novel approach which takes into account the two distinct...
The Mass Distribution of White Dwarfs: An Unwavering Obsession
We discuss some of our current knowledge of the mass distribution of DA and non-DA stars using various methods for measuring white dwarf masses including...
The Mass Function at the End of the Main Sequence: The M35 Open Cluster
We present very deep RIc photometry of the M35 open cluster. We have covered 30' \times 30', equivalent to about a fourth of the total area of the cluster. The...
The mass function beyond the substellar limit in the Pleiades cluster
We present results of our search for free floating brown dwarfs in the Pleiades star cluster showing that the process of star formation does not stop at the...
The Mass of the Galaxy from Large Samples of Field Horizontal-Branch Stars in the SDSS Early Data Release
We present a new estimate of the mass of the Milky Way, making use of a large sample of 955 field horizontal-branch (FHB) stars from the Early Data Release of...
The low mass X-ray binary X1822-371 is one of the brightest LMXBs in the optical and it is also the prototypical accretion disc corona source. In spite of it...
