Eight tiles were observed with the UKIRT Wide-Field Camera (WFCAM) in the association during the science verification phase on 2005 April 813 covering a total of 6.5deg2 in ZY JHK broad-band filters. (3 data files).

During last years, direct evidence about oscillations in different coronal structures has been obtained thanks to the detailed observations made by SoHO and TRACE. With the help of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave theory, we can explain these observations as due to the excitation and propagation of MHD waves in the solar corona. In spite that there

We present XMM-Newton observations of the black hole X-ray nova V404 Cyg in quiescence. Its quiescent spectrum can be best fitted by a simple power law with slope Γ~2. The spectra are consistent with that expected for the advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF). V404 Cyg was roughly equal in luminosity compared to the previous observation of

On the basis of astrometric and spectroscopic data we argue that the ultramassive white dwarf GD 50 is associated with the star formation event that created the Pleiades and is potentially a former cluster member. Its cooling time (˜60Myrs) is consistent with it having evolved essentially as a single star from a M>6M&sun; progenitor so there

We report the discovery of a low-mass (0.26 +/- 0.02, 0.15 +/- 0.01Msolar) pre-main-sequence (PMS) eclipsing binary (EB) with a 5.3d orbital period. JW 380 was detected as part of a high-cadence time-resolved photometric survey (the Monitor project) using the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope and Wide Field Camera for a survey of a single field in the

We discuss some of our current knowledge of the mass distribution of DA and non-DA stars using various methods for measuring white dwarf masses including spectroscopic, trigonometric parallax, and gravitational redshift measurements, with a particular emphasis on the problems encountered at the low end of the cooling sequence where energy transport
