The very high energy (VHE) γ-ray source HESS J0632+057 has recently been confirmed to be a γ-ray binary. The optical counterpart is the Be star MWC 148, and a compact object of unknown nature orbits it every ~321 days with a high eccentricity of ~0.8. We monitored HESS J0632+057 with the stereoscopic MAGIC telescopes from 2010 October to 2011 March

Synchrotron emission from relativistic jets can be highly polarized. I demonstrate that the polarimetric signature of jets in X-ray binaries is detected in the infrared and is highly variable. This reveals the turbulent magnetic geometry in the compact jet. I present the first ever test for a correlation between optical polarization and X-ray flux

The plenoptic camera has been proposed as an alternative wavefront sensor adequate for extended objects within the context of the design of the European Solar Telescope (EST), but it can also be used with point sources. Originated in the field of the Electronic Photography, the plenoptic camera directly samples the Light Field function, which is

The file EW.dat lists the equivalent widths (EW) of all the spectral lines. Columns 1, 2, and 3 list the name of the stars, wavelength and EWs of the lines. The file table4.dat lists the derived abundances of the elements, rms, and number of measured lines for each star. The file table5.dat lists the parameters used to assign the Galactic

We review recent results that indicate that black hole entropy and other thermodynamical quantities can be consistently computed in LQG and that the results are in agreement with Hawking's semiclassical analysis for all values of the Immirzi parameter. This new results are based on the identification of a physical notion of energy for local
