An updated stellar census of the Quintuplet cluster
Context. Found within the central molecular zone, the Quintuplet is one of the most massive young clusters in the Galaxy. As a consequence it offers the...
An Upper Limit on the Temporal Variations of the Solar Interior Stratification
We have analyzed changes in the acoustic oscillation eigenfrequencies measured over the past 7 years by the GONG, MDI, and LOWL instruments. The observations...
An Upper Limit to Ground Deformation in the Island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, for the Period 1997 2006
Continuous monitoring of ground deformation in the volcanic island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, is based on GPS networks, since there are as yet no tiltmeter...
An upper limit to the abundance of Be-9 in the Population II star HD 76932 from a high resolution spectrum with IUE
A high resolution spectrum (Δλ = 0.2 Å) of the Population II star HD 76932 from the archive of the IUE satellite has been analysed in a search for measurable...
An UXor among FUors: Extinction-related Brightness Variations of the Young Eruptive Star V582 Aur
V582 Aur is an FU Ori-type young eruptive star in outburst since ∼1985. The eruption is currently in a relatively constant plateau phase, with photometric and...
An X-Ray and Radio View of the 2022 Reactivation of the Magnetar SGR J1935+2154
Recently, the Galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154 has garnered attention due to its emission of an extremely luminous radio burst, reminiscent of fast radio bursts...
An X-ray study of the open clusters NGC 2451 A and B
We have conducted a detailed study of the object NGC 2451, which actually consists of two different open clusters A and B along the same line of sight at 206 pc...
An X-ray view of 82 LINERs with Chandra and XMM-Newton data
We present the results of a homogeneous X-ray analysis for 82 nearby low-ionisation, narrow emission-line regions (LINERs) selected from the catalogue of...
An X-ray-quiet black hole born with a negligible kick in a massive binary within the Large Magellanic Cloud
Stellar-mass black holes are the final remnants of stars born with more than 15 solar masses. Billions are expected to reside in the Local Group, yet only a few...
