    Do spiral arms enhance star formation efficiency?
    Spiral arms, as those of our own Milky Way, are some of the most spectacular features in disc galaxies. It has been argued that star formation should proceed...

    Does the virial mass drive the intra-cluster light?. Relationship between the ICL and M<SUB>vir</SUB> from VEGAS
    In this Letter, we revisit the relationship between the fraction of the intra-cluster light (ICL) as well as the virial mass and the fraction of early-type...

    Doppler tomography of transiting exoplanets: a prograde, low-inclined orbit for the hot Jupiter CoRoT-11b
    We report the detection of the Doppler shadow of the transiting hot Jupiter CoRoT-11b. Our analysis is based on line-profile tomography of time-series, Keck...

    Double-peak structure in the cyclic optical outbursts of blazar OJ 287.
    An international monitoring project, called OJ-94, was set up with the aim of monitoring blazar OJ 287 during the predicted optical outburst (in fall 1994...
