A variety of physical processes leading to different types of pulsations and chemical compositions are observed between A- and F-type stars. To investigate the...

A new semi-empirical method to derive the absolute flux calibration in the near infrared (J,K,L and L' bands) is proposed. The method consists of the...

A semiempirical method for estimating the error and optimum number of sampled levels in precipitable water vapour (PWV) determinations from atmospheric...

The WFCAM Transit Survey (WTS) is a near-infrared transit survey running on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT), designed to discover planets around M...

A central question regarding ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) is whether they are in a separate category from low-surface-brightness (LSB) galaxies, or just their...

Accretion disks around compact objects are expected to enter an unstable phase at high luminosity 1. One instability may occur when the radiation pressure...

We present observations and an interpretative model of the dust environment of the Main-Belt Comet P/2010 F5 (Gibbs). The narrow dust trails observed can be...

Aims: The Si i 10 827 Å line is commonly used for spectropolarimetric diagnostics of the solar atmosphere. First, we aim at quantifying the sensitivity of the...

Two nights of phase-resolved medium-resolution Very Large Telescope spectroscopy of the extra-galactic low-mass X-ray binary LMCX-2 have revealed a 0.32 +/- 0...
