Description
We have compiled all the available optical B band data on OJ287, between 1890 and 1991. Using this data we have found a period of 11.6 +/- 0.5 yr for the outbursts in OJ 287. This value is in good agreement with the period of 11.65 yr between outbursts and 11.05 yr between minima found previously by Sillanpaa et al. (1988), using V-band data. Based on this period we can predict that the next outburst should be at its maximum around August 1994.

    Stellar halo density with LAMOST K and M giants

    Aims: We derive the morphology of the stellar component in the outer halo volume, and search for possible overdensities due to substructures therein. Methods: We made use of some of the data releases of the spectroscopic survey LAMOST DR8-DR9 in tandem with distance determinations for two subsamples, that is, of K-giants and M-giants, respectively

    Euclid preparation. XXXVII. Galaxy colour selections with Euclid and ground photometry for cluster weak-lensing analyses

    Aims: We derived galaxy colour selections from Euclid and ground-based photometry, aiming to accurately define background galaxy samples in cluster weak-lensing analyses. These selections have been implemented in the Euclid data analysis pipelines for galaxy clusters. Methods: Given any set of photometric bands, we developed a method for the

    The discovery space of ELT-ANDES. Stars and stellar populations

    The ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (ANDES) is the optical and near-infrared high-resolution echelle spectrograph envisioned for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). We present a selection of science cases, supported by new calculations and simulations, where ANDES could enable major advances in the fields of stars and stellar
