New and updated stellar parameters for 71 evolved planet hosts. On the metallicity-giant planet connection<xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN1"><xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN2">⋆<xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN3">⋆⋆
Context. It is still being debated whether the well-known metallicity-giant planet correlation for dwarf stars is also valid for giant stars. For this reason...
New and updated stellar parameters for 90 transit hosts. The effect of the surface gravity
Context. Precise stellar parameters are crucial in exoplanet research for correctly determining the planetary parameters. For stars hosting a transiting planet...
New Astronomical Observatory Design for the Detection and Tracking of Satellite Objects: The Satellite Robotic Observatory (SRO)
Robotic Astronomical Observatories (RAOs) have provided very good results in different research projects in astrophysics/astronomy. Their applications in the...
New ATLAS9 and MARCS Model Atmosphere Grids for the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE)
We present a new grid of model photospheres for the SDSS-III/APOGEE survey of stellar populations of the Galaxy, calculated using the ATLAS9 and MARCS codes...
New bright optical spectrophotometric standards: A-type stars from the STIS Next Generation Spectral Library
Exoplanets have sparked interest in extremely high signal-to-noise ratio spectroscopic observations of very bright stars, in a regime where flux calibrators, in...
We present intermediate- and low-resolution optical spectroscopy (650-915 nm) of seven faint, very red objects ( 20>I>=17.8 , I-Z>= 0.5) discovered in a CCD...
New brown dwarfs in Upper Sco using UKIDSS Galactic Cluster Survey science verification data
We present first results from a deep (J = 18.7), wide-field (6.5deg2) infrared (ZY JHK) survey in the Upper Sco association conducted within the science...
A 34'x34' field centred on the spiral galaxy M 81 has been searched for emission-line objects using the prime focus wide field camera (WFC) of the 2.54 m Isaac...
