The Slovak Video Meteor Network based on four stations from October 2013 (double station from 2009) and two cameras on the Canary Islands from March 2015 have recorded several tens of thousands meteors by the end of 2015. Naturally, only a part (about 20%) was observed simultaneously. Using precise all-sky astrometry (Borovička, 1995) and our own

We have recently identified a young, very red (J - Ks = 2.47 mag) late L-type companion at 8.06'' +/- 0.03'' (~102 AU) from a previously unrecognized M dwarf. We determined the parallactic distance of the system to be 12.7+/-1.0 pc. Non-detection of lithium and the kinematics of the primary allowed us to constrain the age of the system in the range

A search for the pair production of new light bosons, each decaying into a pair of muons, is performed with the CMS experiment at the LHC, using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb-1 collected in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energy of √{ s} = 8 TeV. No excess is observed in the data relative to standard

Graphite oxide (GO) and heavily ozonized C60 and C70 fullerenes known as “fullerene ozopolymers” were studied by TGA-FTIR (Thermogravimetry coupled with FT-IR spectroscopy), DTG (Differential Thermogravimetry) and DTA (Differential Thermal Analysis) in air flow. It was found that GO burns at 70°C higher temperature than the fullerene ozopolymers

It is shown that heavily ozonized C60 or C70 fullerenes (known also as “fullerene ozopolymers”) are suitable substrates for the preparation of graphene or nanographene in place of graphite oxide (GO) by thermal reduction in inert atmosphere. TGA-FTIR study shows that the release profile of CO2 and CO from fullerene ozopolymers in the temperature

We present an atlas of mid-infrared (mid-IR) ˜ 7.5-13 μm spectra of 45 local active galactic nuclei (AGN) obtained with CanariCam on the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC) as part of an ESO/GTC large programme. The sample includes Seyferts and other low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN) at a median distance of 35 Mpc and luminous AGN, namely PG quasars, (U
