We stand on the threshold of a critical expansion of asteroseismology of Sun-like stars, the study of stellar interiors by observation and analysis of their...
AsteroFLAG: First results from hare-and-hounds Exercise #1
We report on initial results from the first phase of Exercise #1 of the asteroFLAG hare and hounds. The asteroFLAG group is helping to prepare for the...
Asteroid 65 Cybele: Detection Of Small Silicate Grains, Water-Ice And Organics
We have carried out a spectroscopic study of asteroid 65 Cybele in the 2 - 4 μm and 5 - 14 μm regions, using NASA's IRTF and Spitzer Space Telescope...
A population of small main-belt asteroid pairs (MBAs) residing on very similar heliocentric orbits have been found and studied recently (Vokrouhlicky and...
We use asteroid differential photometry gathered in the past decades together with the Gaia stellar catalogue (as photometric standards) to obtain relative...
AsteroiDB: The Asteroid Legacy Archive of the Canary Islands Observatories
The growing volume of astronomical data produced by telescopic facilities presents significant challenges and extraordinary opportunities for the scientific...
Asteroseismic constraints on the Pleiades distance
The global parameters of the Pleiades cluster are derived from the comparison of observed and computed frequencies of six multi-periodic delta Scuti stars. The...
Asteroseismic grid-modelling of the binary system KIC 9163796
The age of a star cannot be measured but only inferred from observational quantities related to age. For stars in the red-giant phase, classical methods such as...
