We have measured the ^12^C/^13^C interstellar ratio in the Coalsack, a prominent dark nebula in the southern sky, by means of high resolution (λ/δλ=6x10^4^)...
The γ Doradus CoRoT target HD 49434. I. Results from the ground-based campaign
Context: We present an extensive ground-based photometric and spectroscopic campaign of the γ Dor CoRoT target HD 49434. This campaign was a preparatory step of...
The γ Doradus CoRoT target HD 49434. II. Frequency analysis of the CoRoT data
Context. HD 49434 is a bright (V = 5.75 m) and multiperiodic γ Dor-type pulsator that has been selected for the asteroseismic core programme of the CoRoT...
The δ Scuti pulsations of β Pictoris as observed by ASTEP from Antarctica
Aims: The Antarctica Search for Transiting Extrasolar Planets (ASTEP), an automatized 400 mm telescope located at Concordia station in Antarctica, monitored β...
Theoretical amplitudes and lifetimes of non-radial solar-like oscillations in red giants
Context: Solar-like oscillations have been observed in numerous red giants from ground and from space. An important question arises: could we expect to detect...
Theoretical formulation of Doppler redistribution in scattering polarization within the framework of the velocity-space density matrix formalism
Within the framework of the density matrix theory for the generation and transfer of polarized radiation, velocity density matrix correlations represent an...
Thermal properties of magnetic flux tubes. I. Solution of the diffusion problem
The heat flow and temperature structure within and surrounding a magnetic flux tube stored in mechanical equilibrium in a stellar convection zone are considered...
Thermal properties of slowly rotating asteroids: results from a targeted survey
Context. Earlier work suggests that slowly rotating asteroids should have higher thermal inertias than faster rotators because the heat wave penetrates deeper...
Thermal-magnetic relation in a sunspot and a map of its Wilson depression
We present relations between thermal and magnetic quantities in a simple, isolated sunspot, as deduced from the inversion of 1.56 μm spectropolarimetric data...
