We report the discovery via radial velocity (RV) measurements of a short-period (P = 2.430420 ± 0.000006 days) companion to the F-type main-sequence star TYC 2930-00872-1. A long-term trend in the RV data also suggests the presence of a tertiary stellar companion with P > 2000 days. High-resolution spectroscopy of the host star yields T eff = 6427

We report the discovery of a candidate brown dwarf (BD) or a very low mass stellar companion (MARVELS-5b) to the star HIP 67526 from the Multi-object Apache point observatory Radial Velocity Exoplanet Large-area Survey (MARVELS). The radial velocity curve for this object contains 31 epochs spread over 2.5 yr. Our Keplerian fit, using a Markov Chain

We select 4 pointings for the Wide Field Camera (WFC) mounted at the prime focus of the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), located at the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma. We carried out observations from October 12 to October 14, 1999. (1 data file).

We present the stellar population analysis of a sample of 12 dwarf elliptical galaxies, observed with the SAURON integral field unit, using the full-spectrum fitting method. We show that star formation histories (SFHs) resolved into two populations can be recovered even within a limited wavelength range, provided that high signal-to-noise ratio (S

This paper presents near-infrared monitoring, taken with the 1.5 m Carlos Sanchez Telescope in Tenerife and CCD photometry taken with the Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope in La Palma, of the 1988 outburst of 3C 279. This is combined with archival data to examine the behavior of the light curve from B to K.

Two recent works [1-2] have investigated Venus' O2 c-X and NO C-A nightglow from spectra taken by VIRTIS/Venus Express during the first year in orbit of the spacecraft. The O2 c(0)-X(v'') progression at 400-700 nm has been known for more than three decades. However, observations of this system from space or from Earth have been rare. The O2 a(0)-X
