We present new B, V and I CCD time-series photometry for 177 variable stars in a 13 × 13arcmin2 field centred on the globular cluster M54 (lying at the centre...
The Preparation of the GTC for the Scientific Operation of CanariCam
CanariCam is a mid-IR camera and spectrograph with coronographic and polarimetric capabilities, built by the University of Florida to operate at the GTC...
The promise of Bayesian analysis for prominence seismology
We propose and use Bayesian techniques for the determination of physical parameters in solar prominence plasmas, combining observational and theoretical...
The puzzling orbital period evolution of the LMXB AX J1745.6-2901
The orbital period evolution of X-ray binaries provides fundamental clues to understanding mechanisms of angular momentum transfer and loss in these systems. We...
The quasi-biennial periodicity (QBP) in velocity and intensity helioseismic observations. The seismic QBP over solar cycle 23
Aims: We looked for signatures of quasi-biennial periodicity (QBP) over different phases of solar cycle by means of acoustic modes of oscillation. Low-degree p...
The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) team has produced a foreground map that can account for most of the low-frequency Galactic microwave emission in...
The quiet Sun magnetic field observed with ZIMPOL on THEMIS. I. The probability density function
Context: The quiet Sun magnetic field probability density function (PDF) remains poorly known. Modeling this field also introduces a magnetic filling factor...
The Radial Distribution of Mono-metallicity Populations in the Galactic Disk as Evidence for Two-phase Disk Formation
Recent determinations of the radial distributions of mono-metallicity populations (MMPs, i.e., stars in narrow bins in [Fe/H] within wider [α/Fe] ranges) by the...
The reports of thick discs' deaths are greatly exaggerated. Thick discs are NOT artefacts caused by diffuse scattered light
Recent studies have made the community aware of the importance of accounting for scattered light when examining low-surface-brightness galaxy features such as...
