  • A Distant Mirror: Solar Oscillations Observed on Neptune by the Kepler K2 Mission
    Starting in 2014 December, Kepler K 2 observed Neptune continuously for 49 days at a 1 minute cadence. The goals consisted of studying its atmospheric dynamics, detecting its global acoustic oscillations, and those of the Sun, which we report on here. We present the first indirect detection of solar oscillations in intensity measurements. Beyond

  • A DIACHRONIC ANALYSIS OF ORIENTATION OF SACRED PRECINCTS ACROSS JORDAN
    Located in the southern part of the Levant, the territory of present day Jordan functioned as a cultural crossroad since times immemorial. The state of preservation of the different remains and the quantity of the different stages makes Jordan a perfect area to perform a study on the evolution along time of the orientation customs. During our field

  • Very Low-mass Stellar and Substellar Companions to Solar-like Stars from MARVELS. VI. A Giant Planet and a Brown Dwarf Candidate in a Close Binary System HD 87646
    We report the detections of a giant planet (MARVELS-7b) and a brown dwarf (BD) candidate (MARVELS-7c) around the primary star in the close binary system, HD 87646. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first close binary system with more than one substellar circumprimary companion that has been discovered. The detection of this giant planet was

  • Variable stars in Local Group Galaxies - II. Sculptor dSph
    We present the identification of 634 variable stars in the Milky Way dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellite Sculptor based on archival ground-based optical observations spanning ˜24 yr and covering ˜2.5 deg2. We employed the same methodologies as the `Homogeneous Photometry' series published by Stetson. In particular, we have identified and

  • Upper chromospheric magnetic field of a sunspot penumbra: observations of fine structure
    Aims: The fine-structure of the magnetic field in a sunspot penumbra in the upper chromosphere is to be explored and compared to that in the photosphere. Methods: Spectropolarimetric observations with high spatial resolution were recorded with the 1.5-m GREGOR telescope using the GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS). The observed spectral domain

  • TRACING THE EARLY CHEMICAL EVOLUTION OF LOCAL GROUP DWARF GALAXIES USING RR LYRAE STARS
    La formación y evolución de las galaxias son cuestiones cruciales aún sin responder en la Astrofísica moderna. Las poblaciones estelares resueltas ofrecen la posibilidad de estudiar las galaxias cercanas a través de sus estrellas individuales, proporcionando de esta manera un gran número de observables y restricciones a los modelos, que son
