The image mosaics obtained with the instrument LIRIS (Long-Slit Intermediate Resolution Infrared Spectrograph) at the Williams Herschel Telescope are in the images directory in the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) standard. (2 data files).

We used archival multi-band Hubble Space Telescope observations obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 in the UV-optical channel to present important new observational findings on the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of the Galactic globular cluster ω Centauri. The UV WFC3 data have been coupled with available Wide Field Channel/Advanced Camera for

Waves observed in the photosphere and chromosphere of sunspots show complex dynamics and spatial patterns. The interpretation of high-resolution sunspot wave observations requires modeling of three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear wave propagation and mode transformation in the sunspot upper layers in realistic spot model atmospheres. Here, we present

For various reasons, Archaeoastronomy has not been one of the favourite disciplines of the Egyptologists in the past. Probably because of that, important questions such as the orientation of Egyptian temples and the relevance of astronomy in this respect had never been afforded with the necessary seriousness and deepness. The Egyptian-Spanish

In studies of accreting black holes in binary systems, empirical relations have been proposed to quantify the coupling between accretion processes and ejection mechanisms. These processes are probed, respectively, by means of X-ray and radio/optical-infrared observations. The relations predict, given certain accretion conditions, the expected

Pairs of asteroids sharing similar heliocentric orbits, but not bound together, were found recently. Backward integrations of their orbits indicated that they separated gently with low relative velocities, but did not provide additional insight into their formation mechanism. A previously hypothesized rotational fission process may explain their
