PublicationAmmonia-methane ratios from H-band near-infrared spectra of late-T and Y dwarfs
Aims: Our goals are to investigate the relative absorption strengths of ammonia and methane using low-resolution H-band (1.5−1.7 microns) spectra obtained in...

PublicationAn application of an optimal statistic for characterizing relative orientations
We present the projected Rayleigh statistic (PRS), a modification of the classic Rayleigh statistic, as a test for non-uniform relative orientation between two...

PublicationAn artificial neural network approach to the solution of molecular chemical equilibrium
A novel approach is presented for the solution of instantaneous chemical equilibrium problems. The chemical equilibrium can be considered, due to its...

PublicationAn automated system to classify stellar spectra - I
Analyses of stellar spectra often begin with the determination of a number of parameters that define a model atmosphere. This work presents a prototype for an...

PublicationAn effective temperature calibration for solar type stars using equivalent width ratios. A fast and easy spectroscopic temperature estimation
Aims: Precise determination of the stellar effective temperature of solar type stars is extremely important for astrophysics. We present an effective...

PublicationAn ever-present Gaia snail shell triggered by a dark matter wake
We utilize a novel numerical technique to model star formation in cosmological simulations of galaxy formation - called SUPERSTARS - to simulate a Milky Way...

PublicationAn extension of Herschel's method for dense and extensive catalogues. Application to the determination of solar motion
We present a way of handling and interpreting stellar proper motions, in which the idea of substituting them by great circles, proposed by Herschel in 1783...

PublicationAn extensive spectroscopic time series of three Wolf-Rayet stars - I. The lifetime of large-scale structures in the wind of WR 134
During the summer of 2013, a 4-month spectroscopic campaign took place to observe the variabilities in three Wolf-Rayet stars. The spectroscopic data have been...
