Descripción
The black hole candidate GX 339-4 has spent more than one year in outburst. It entered outburst in 2010 January (ATel #2380, #2384), brightened in the hard state (ATel #2455, #2459, #2525) before making a transition to the soft state in 2010 April - May (ATel #2545, #2547, #2573, #2577, #2593) and finally returned to the hard state in 2011 January - February (ATel #3117, #3191). We report here on recent Swift X-ray and Faulkes Telescope optical observations of GX 339-4.

    Assessment of registration methods for thermal infrared and visible images for diabetic foot monitoring
    This work presents a revision of four different registration methods for thermal infrared and visible images captured by a camera-based prototype for the remote monitoring of diabetic foot. This prototype uses low cost and off-the-shelf available sensors in thermal infrared and visible spectra. Four different methods (Geometric Optical Translation

    The spin rate properties of Galactic massive O-type stars
    We present results from a recent study of the spin rate properties of a sample of more than 400 Galactic O-type stars surveyed by the IACOB and OWN projects. We combine vsini, Teff, and logg estimates with information about the spectroscopic binarity status for 285 of the stars in the sample, and provide a renewed overview about how the empirical

    Hot stars in the Gaia-ESO Survey
    The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) is a large public spectroscopic survey that has collected spectra of about 100,000 stars. The survey provides not only the reduced spectra, but also the radial velocities, stellar parameters and surface abundances resulting from the analysis of the spectra. We present the work of the groups that analysed the spectra of the
