Very Large Array7 neutral hydrogen observations of the shell elliptical galaxy NGC 3656 reveal an edge-on, warped minor-axis gaseous disk (MHI~2×109 Msolar) extending 7 kpc. H I is also found outside the optical image, on two complexes to the northeast and northwest that seem to trace one or two tidal tails, or possibly an outer broken H I disk or

The galaxy group Klemola 13 is composed of at least seven independent members including the starburst galaxy Tol 9. Our analysis using optical/NIR and Ha imaging together with optical spectroscopy suggests that it is interacting with some members of the group. We propose H I observations of Klemola 13 in order to map the distribution and kinematics

Context. Many efforts are currently made to detect Earth-like planets around low-mass stars in almost every extra-solar planet search. M dwarfs are considered ideal targets for Doppler radial velocity searches because their low masses and luminosities make low-mass planets orbiting in these stars' habitable zones more easily detectable than those

Context: Aims: This work presents the results obtained by CoRoT on HD 50844, the only δ Sct star observed in the CoRoT initial run (57.6 d). The aim of these CoRoT observations was to investigate and characterize for the first time the pulsational behaviour of a δ Sct star, when observed at a level of precision and with a much better duty cycle

Context: We present an analysis of the observations of HD 51106 and HD 50747 by the satellite CoRoT, obtained during its initial run, and of the spectroscopic preparatory observations. Aims: We complete an analysis of the light curve, extract the main frequencies observed, and discuss some preliminary interpretations about the stars. Methods: We
