We present infrared JHK photometry of the cataclysmic variable (CV) SDSS J123813.73 - 033933.0 and analyze it along with optical spectroscopy, demonstrating that the binary system is most probably comprised of a massive white dwarf with T eff = 12000 ± 1000 K and a brown dwarf of spectral type L4. The inferred system parameters suggest that this

The role of the entrance channel has been studied to ascertain a cause of the observed difference between the evaporation residue cross sections normalized to the fusion cross sections in the 19F + 181Ta and 16O + 184W reactions at high excitation energies. The theoretical analysis performed in the framework of the dinuclear system and advanced

We present our results on the stellar population properties of the outskirts of disk galaxies. In particular, we focus on spiral galaxies with stellar disk truncations in their radial surface brightness profiles. Using SDSS data we show color gradients. We find that the color radial profile exhibits a "U'-shape", showing a minimum at the position

The file rv.dat contains the name of the WDMS binary, the time of the spectroscopic observation and the corresponding radial velocity. Using a spectral decomposition method we derived estimates of the stellar parameters and the distance to the system listed in sy.dat. This file also contains the statistical significance of the measured radial

We have been analyzing a large sample of solar-like stars with and without planets in order to homogeneously measure their photospheric parameters and Carbon abundances. Our sample contains around 200 stars in the solar neighborhood observed with the ELODIE spectrograph, for which the observational data are publicly available. We performed spectral
