While testing a Strömgren spectrophotometer attached to the 1.5 m telescope at the San Pedro Mártir observatory, Mexico, a number of A-type stars were observed, one of which, HD 207331, presented clear indications of photometric variability. CCD photometric data acquired soon after, confirmed its variability. In order to determine its pulsation

One fundamental question about pulsars concerns the mechanism of their pulsed electromagnetic emission. Measuring the high-end region of a pulsar’s spectrum would shed light on this question. By developing a new electronic trigger, we lowered the threshold of the Major Atmospheric γ-ray Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) telescope to 25 giga-electron volts

First results from a high-resolution three-dimensional nonlinear numerical study of the kink oscillation are presented. We show in detail the development of a shear instability in an untwisted line-tied magnetic flux tube. The instability produces significant deformations of the tube boundary. An extended transition layer may naturally evolve as a

We aim to detect and identify the faint X-ray sources belonging to Galactic globular clusters in order to understand their role in the evolution of globular clusters. We present a new Chandra X-ray observation of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 2808. Previous observations with XMM-Newton and ultraviolet observations with the Hubble Space
