A general panorama of SS Cygni is presented. The paper first describes the CV cataclysmic variables and the current theories which attempt to describe their...
The contribution to population in ellipticals of blue stragglers - A test of their origin
An observational test of the binary hypothesis for the origin of the blue straggler (BS) stars has been performed searching for radial velocity variables among...
The Discovery and Follow-up of Four Transiting Short-period Sub-Neptunes Orbiting M Dwarfs
Sub-Neptunes with radii of 2–3 R ⊕ are intermediate in size between rocky planets and Neptune-sized planets. The orbital properties and bulk compositions of...
The galactic wind in the circum-nuclear zone of NGC 6946
Using the H-II region H-alpha emission detected in high-resolution long slit spectra of the normal spiral NGC 6946 out to 6 kpc from the center, and along 8...
The Hades RV Programme With Harps-N@TNG GJ 3998: An Early M-Dwarf Hosting a System of Super-Earths
Many efforts to detect Earth-like planets around low-mass stars are presently devoted in almost every extra-solar planetsearch. M dwarfs are considered ideal...
The kinematics and morphology of NGC 520: One, two, or three galaxies
The peculiar galaxy NGC 520 (Arp 157) is often interpreted as an interacting pair of galaxies. The identification of the two bulges and overall morphology of...
The local interstellar medium toward the center of Loop I
The present study of the local insterstellar medium toward the center of Loop I analyzes optical and UV spectra of nearby stars within the l = 310-330 deg, b =...
The Magellan-TESS Survey. I. Survey Description and Midsurvey Results
Kepler revealed that roughly one-third of Sunlike stars host planets orbiting within 100 days and between the size of Earth and Neptune. How do these planets...
Palomar 1 is a peculiar Galactic globular cluster suspected of being younger than the bulk of Galactic halo objects. However, such a low age can be confirmed...
