The relation between the Evershed flow and moving magnetic features (MMFs) is studied using high-cadence, simultaneous spectropolarimetric measurements of a sunspot in visible (630.2 nm) and near-infrared (1565 nm) lines. Doppler velocities, magnetograms, and total linear polarization maps are calculated from the observed Stokes profiles. We follow

EURONEAR - The European Near Earth Asteroid Research is a project initiated recently by a small team presently based in France, Romania, and South Africa. It envisions to build a coordinated network which will follow-up and recover Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) and Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs), using time available at 1m class telescopes in

In our published paper there is an error in the order of the rows in Tables 1 through 6. We stated in the paper that the components are sorted in the order of increasing wavelengths in the linear Zeeman splitting (LZS) regime. However, in the published tables the values for the σ+ and σ- components appear reversed. As a result, researchers trying

High-resolution spectra of the program stars were obtained during the period 2002 December-2004 June at the Harlan J. Smith 2.7-m telescope of the W.J. McDonald Observatory, using the 2dcoude echelle spectrometer with a 2048x2048 Tektronix CCD as detector. (2 data files).

The high-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object Markarian 180 (Mrk 180) was observed to have an optical outburst in 2006 March, triggering a Target of Opportunity observation with the MAGIC telescope. The source was observed for 12.4 hr, and very high energy γ-ray emission was detected with a significance of 5.5 σ. An integral flux above 200 GeV of (2

Close binaries, and in particular cataclysmic variables (CVs), play a vital role in the dynamical evolution of globular clusters. It is, therefore, important to understand the formation of these systems in the core of a cluster. Here we propose to test the dynamical formation scenarios of CVs by observing NGC 2808 in the X-rays with Chandra. In
