We study the frequency dependence of the frequency shifts of the low-degree p modes measured in the F5V star HD 49933, by analyzing the second run of observations collected by the CoRoT satellite. The 137-day light curve is divided into two subseries corresponding to periods of low and high stellar activity. The activity-frequency relationship is

We present and interpret simultaneous new photometric and spectroscopic observations of the peculiar magnetic white dwarf WD 1953-011. The flux in the V-band filter and intensity of the Balmer spectral lines demonstrate variability with the rotation period of about 1.45 days. According to previous studies, this variability can be explained by the

Aims: A proper determination of the abundance gradient in the Milky Way requires the observation of objects at large galactiocentric distances. With this aim, we are exploring the planetary nebula population towards the Galactic anticentre. In this article, the discovery and physico-chemical study of a new planetary nebula towards the anticentre

Aims: We have selected the Galactic H ii region M 43, a close-by apparently spherical nebula ionized by a single star (HD 37061, B0.5 V) to investigate several topics of recent interest in the field of H ii regions and massive stars. In a series of two papers, we perform a combined, comprehensive study of the nebula and its ionizing star by using

NASA's Wide-field Survey Explorer (WISE) mapped the sky in four bands at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 μm during its mission. Published on 14 April 2011, the WISE Preliminary Release provides data of more than 150,000 asteroids that were processed with initial calibration and reduction algorithms. Our aim is to carry out an analysis of key physical

The present work is based on the multi-wavelength catalog of IRAC 3.6+4.5um selected galaxies in the EGS (RA=14h14m, DEC=+53°30') presented in Paper I (Barro et al. 2011, Cat. J/ApJS/193/13). We cross-correlated our IRAC-selected catalog with the X-ray (Chandra) and radio (VLA/20cm) catalogs of Laird et al. (2009, Cat. J/ApJS/180/102) and Ivison et
