Visible spectroscopy in the neighborhood of 2003EL{61}
Context: The recent discovery of a group of trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) in a narrow region of the orbital parameter space and with surfaces composed of...
Visible spectroscopy of the Sulamitis and Clarissa primitive families: a possible link to Erigone and Polana
The low-inclination (i 8∘) primitive asteroid families in the inner main belt, that is, Polana-Eulalia, Erigone, Sulamitis, and Clarissa, are considered to be...
VLBI imaging of the gravitational lens MG J0414+0534
We observed the quadruple gravitationally lensed image of MG J0414+0534 on 23 November 1997 with a global VLBI array at 8.4 GHz. We report wide-field imaging...
VLT X-Shooter spectroscopy of the nearest brown dwarf binary
Aims: The aim of the project is to characterise the two components of the brown dwarf system nearest to the Sun, WISE J104915.57-531906.1 (also called Luhman...
VLT-VIMOS integral field spectroscopy of luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies. I. The sample and first results
Context: (Ultra)Luminous Infrared Galaxies [(U)LIRGs] are much more numerous at cosmological distances than locally, and are likely the precursors of elliptical...
VLT-VIMOS integral field spectroscopy of luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies. III. The atlas of the stellar and ionized gas distribution
Context. Luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs) are much more numerous at higher redshifts than locally, dominating the star-formation...
VLTI/GRAVITY interferometric measurements of the innermost dust structure sizes around active galactic nuclei
We present new Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI)/GRAVITY near-infrared interferometric measurements of the angular size of the innermost hot dust...
Warm terrestrial planet with half the mass of Venus transiting a nearby star
In recent years, the advent of a new generation of radial velocity instruments has allowed us to detect planets with increasingly lower mass and to break the...
Washington photometry of five star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Aims: We present CCD photometry in the Washington system C and T1 passbands down to T1 ~ 22.5 in the fields of NGC 1697, SL 133, NGC 1997, SL 663, and OHSC 28...
