We present photometric and spectroscopic data of the Type II-P supernova (SN II-P) 2003gd, which was discovered in M74 close to the end of its plateau phase. SN...

Indene was polymerized to polyindene (PI) through a cationic mechanism using TiCl4•2THF complex as initiator. The cationic mechanism was investigated through...

A C60 fullerene/tetracene adduct was synthesized and studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy. Essentially the mono-adduct was...

Context. ESPRESSO guaranteed time observations (GTOs) at the 8.2m VLT telescope were performed to look for Earth-like exoplanets in the habitable zone of nearby...

A sub-Earth-mass planet orbiting Barnard's star, designated as Barnard b, has recently been announced. At almost the same time, the first photometric data of...

Context. Transiting sub-Neptune-type planets, with radii approximately between 2 and 4 R ⊕, are of particular interest as their study allows us to gain insight...

Transiting exoplanets orbiting young nearby stars are ideal laboratories for testing theories of planet formation and evolution. However, to date only a handful...

We present a detailed study of the bar fraction in the CfA sample of Seyfert galaxies and in a carefully selected control sample of nonactive galaxies to...

We present new high-resolution near-infrared observations in the J, H, and K bands, obtained to study the properties of Seyfert host galaxies. The data set...
