In this paper we report a new transiting warm giant planet: KOI-1257 b. It was first detected in photometry as a planet-candidate by the Kepler space telescope and then validated thanks to a radial velocity follow-up with the SOPHIE spectrograph. It orbits its host star with a period of 86.647661 d ± 3 s and a high eccentricity of 0.772 ± 0.045

Table main gives the names, coordinates (J2000), epoch, proper motions, and optical (BjRI) and near-infrared (JHKs) magnitudes for new, red proper motion objects published in this paper. Table obslog1 provides the observing logs for a subset of proper motion objects observed photometrically with FORS1 and ISAAC on the VLT. It includes observing

Space-based detectors for the study of extreme energy cosmic rays (EECR) are being prepared as a promising new method for detecting highest energy cosmic rays. A pioneering space device - the "tracking ultraviolet set-up" (TUS) - is in the last stage of its construction and testing. The TUS detector will collect preliminary data on EECR in the

We analyze Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) spectra in the 1150-1700 Å wavelength range obtained for six early B supergiants in the neighboring galaxy M31. Because of their likely high (nearly solar) abundance, these stars were originally chosen to be directly comparable to their Galactic counterparts and represent a much needed addition

Astrophysics is a very recent development in Spain, but its spectacular evolution in itself constitutes a singular phenomenon that has aroused the interest of sociologists and historians of science alike....
