The angular distributions of fission fragments for the 32S+184W reaction at center-of-mass energies of 118.8, 123.1, 127.3, 131.5, 135.8, 141.1 and 144.4 MeV were measured. The fragment angular anisotropies are found by extrapolating the fission angular distributions. The measured fission cross sections are decomposed into fusion-fission

We present high-resolution spectroscopic measurements of the abundances of the α-like element titanium (Ti) and s-process elements yttrium (Y) and lanthanum (La) for M giant candidates of (a) the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf spheroidal + tidal tail system, (b) the Triangulum-Andromeda (TriAnd) Star Cloud, and (c) the Galactic Anticenter Stellar

A commercially available hydrogenated mixture of fullerenes (HMF) composed of 77% C60Hx and 22% C70Hx has been analyzed by liquid chromatographic analysis (HPLC), electronic absorption, FT-IR spectroscopy, solubility and by thermal analysis (TGA). The results confirm that the HMF is composed by a mixture of C60Hx and C70Hx with a high degree of

Aims: Precise determination of the stellar effective temperature of solar type stars is extremely important for astrophysics. We present an effective temperature calibration for FGK dwarf stars using the line equivalent width ratios of spectral absorption lines. Methods: We used the automatic code ARES to measure the equivalent width for several

We present the most complete atlas of nuclear rings to date. We include 113 rings found in 107 galaxies, six of which are elliptical galaxies, five are highly inclined disc galaxies, 18 are unbarred disc galaxies and 78 are barred disc galaxies. Star-forming nuclear rings occur in 20 +/- 2 per cent of disc galaxies with types between T = -3 and T =
