The dynamics of the merger between a high- and a low-luminosity elliptical galaxy has been studied to understand how kinematically peculiar cores in elliptical...
Counting radon tracks in Makrofol detectors with the "image reduction and analysis facility" (IRAF) software package
Makrofol detectors are commonly used for long-term radon (Rn-222) measurements in houses, schools and workplaces. The use of this type of passive detectors for...
Counts-in-cylinders in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with Comparisons to N-body Simulations
Environmental statistics provide a necessary means of comparing the properties of galaxies in different environments, and a vital test of models of galaxy...
Coupling of fast and Alfvén waves in a straight bounded magnetic field with density stratification
The theoretical understanding of the linear standing or propagating magnetohydrodynamic waves in a variety of solar coronal structures is far from complete...
Covariance matrices for variance-suppressed simulations
Cosmological N-body simulations provide numerical predictions of the structure of the Universe against which to compare data from ongoing and future surveys...
The covariance of ground-based lucky images is a robust and easy-to-use algorithm that allows us to detect faint companions surrounding a host star. In this...
COYOTES - Part One - Multisite UBVRI Photometry of 24 Pre Main Sequence Stars of the Taurus-Auriga Cloud
We present the results of a multi-site photometric campaign to monitor T Tauri stars in the Taurus-Auriga stellar formation region. The campaign - dubbed...
COYOTES II: SPOT properties and the origin of photometric period variations in T Tauri stars.
We present the results of a new multi-site campaign (COYOTES II) to monitor the light variations of T Tauri stars (TTS) of the Taurus-Auriga dark cloud. The...
COYOTES III: observational evidence for a lower limit to the rotational velocity of ZAMS G and K dwarfs.
In order to provide additional constraints to current models of angular momentum evolution of solar-type stars, we have conducted a period-determination program...
