In parallel with the monitoring of the periastron passage of the binary system WR 140, a number of B supergiants and Oe stars have been observed in the...
The Morpho-kinematics of Planetary Nebulae with Binary Central Stars
It is now clear that a binary formation pathway is responsible for a significant fraction of planetary nebulae, and this increased sample of known binaries...
The Morphological and Structural Classification of Planetary Nebulae
We present a statistical analysis of a complete sample (255) of northern planetary nebulae (PNe). Our analysis is based on morphology as a main parameter. The...
The morphology and masses of EROs in the Groth Strip
We investigate the morphologies, masses and possible correlations between these two properties for 108 extremely red galaxies (EROs) found in the Groth strip...
We present quantitative analyses of 7 galactic O stars of spectral types from O3 to O6. By means of classical hydrostatic and planeparallel models we find the...
There are some 194,000 R = 2000 stellar spectra reported in the final public release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-I), known as DR-5. Setting aside the...
The Most Powerful Lenses in the Universe: Quasar Microlensing as a Probe of the Lensing Galaxy
We describe how quasar microlensing is the only way to determine the dark/stellar ratio at the interesting sub-galactic scales of several kpc and how it is the...
