g' and z' photometric time series for the last ~1.6hrs of the transit of KOI 806.2 observed with the Gran Telescopio Canarias at Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos on the island of La Palma, Spain. The observations occurred on JD 2455740, revealing a transit timing variation of -103.5+/-6.9 minutes. The raw fits files were bias and flat field

This article presents a theoretical framework for the evolution of the light-element nuclides in the Galactic disk. By understanding this evolution correctly, we can reliably obtain the primordial abundances of the nuclides D, 4He, and 7Li. We use two key assumptions, those of (1) infall of metal-poor gas to the disk at an increasing rate and (2)

From published catalogs, basic physical properties including diameters, masses, and neutral hydrogen contents of spiral galaxies have been studied as a function of the arm class. The results indicate that galaxies with well-defined arms have longer scale-lengths (a difference comparable in the red to that in the blue) and are more massive (in both

An experiment aimed at diffraction-limited imaging of astronomical sources in the 2-5-micron range is presented. It is based on a rotation shearing interferometer that produces fringes in the pupil plane that can be scanned through the zero optical path difference. The two-dimensional interferograms are recorded with an infrared camera looking at

We have studied the amount of diffuse light in two galaxy groups, Leo and HCG 44 through the detection of intragroup planetary nebulae (IGPNe). The emission line objects detected turned out to be compatible with background Lyα galaxies. We have estimated an upper limit to the amount of diffuse light in both groups assuming the presence of just one
