Descripción
We present the results from the spectroscopic monitoring of WR 140 (WC7pd + O5.5fc) during its latest periastron passage in 2009 January. The observational campaign consisted of a constructive collaboration between amateur and professional astronomers. It took place at six locations, including Teide Observatory, Observatoire de Haute Provence, Dominion Astrophysical Observatory and Observatoire du Mont Mégantic. WR 140 is known as the archetype of colliding-wind binaries and it has a relatively long period (?8 yr) and high eccentricity (?0.9). We provide updated values for the orbital parameters, new estimates for the WR and O star masses and new constraints on the mass-loss rates and colliding-wind geometry.

    Sensitized Radiation-Induced Polymerization of Indene with 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane
    Sensitized radiation-induced polymerization of indene monomer was achieved at a dose rate of 3 kGy/h. The sensitizer (1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane or TCE) leads to higher polyindene yields and faster polymerization kinetics with respect to bulk radiation-induced polymerization of indene. The radiation chemical yield Gp was found to increase with the

    DESI DR2 results. I. Baryon acoustic oscillations from the Lyman alpha forest
    We present the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements with the Lyman- α ( Ly α) forest from the second data release (DR2) of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey. Our BAO measurements include both the autocorrelation of the Ly α forest absorption observed in the spectra of high-redshift quasars and the cross-correlation of

    Scaling relations at the central regions of nearby galaxies
    Scaling relations between galactic parameters (e.g., luminosity, mass, metallicity, etc.) represent key pieces of evidence for investigating the processes of galaxy formation and evolution. In most studies, these relations have been obtained for large portions of the galaxies (i.e., on kiloparsec scales), but it is also important to evaluate these
