High-resolution G-band images of the interior of a supergranulation cell show ubiquitous bright points (BPs; some 0.3 BPs per Mm2). They are located in...
Bright Points in the Quiet Sun as Observed in the Visible and Near-UV by the Balloon-borne Observatory SUNRISE
Bright points (BPs) are manifestations of small magnetic elements in the solar photosphere. Their brightness contrast not only gives insight into the thermal...
Bright Stars and Recent Star Formation in the Irregular Magellanic Galaxy NGC 2366
The stellar content of the Im galaxy NGC 2366 is discussed on the basis of CCD BVR photometry. The three brightest blue and red stars have been used to estimate...
Bright submillimeter galaxies do trace galaxy protoclusters
There is controversy in the literature regarding whether distant, massive, and dusty starbursts selected at (sub)millimeter wavelengths can trace galaxy...
Brightness Fluctuation Spectra of Sun-like Stars. I. The Mid-frequency Continuum
We analyze space-based time-series photometry of Sun-like stars, mostly in the Pleiades, but also field stars and the Sun itself. We focus on timescales between...
Broad absorption line quasars with redshifted troughs: high-velocity infall or rotationally dominated outflows?
We report the discovery in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey of 17 broad absorption line (BAL)...
Broad band JHK infrared photometry of an extended sample of late type dwarfs and subdwarfs.
The results of a long term programme of broad band JHK photometry, for a sample of 360 late type stars, made at the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife, Spain) are...
Broad Components in Optical Emission Lines from the Ultra-luminous X-ray Source NGC 5408 X-1
High-resolution optical spectra of the ultra-luminous X-ray source (ULX) NGC 5408 X-1 show a broad component with a width of ~750 km s-1 in the He II and Hβ...
Broad Emission Lines in Active Galaxies: Horns, Bumps and Shoulders
have complex and highly structured profiles. We discuss, in the context of the discrete cloud model of the broad-line region, three possible mechanisms by which...
