Faint meteors observed with Super-Schmidt cameras are re-examined in order to assess whether their dynamical and photometric behavior can be described by means of the single body theory. Velocities, decelerations and magnitudes are fitted simultaneously to synthetic curves resulting from integration of the appropriate set of differential equations

Aims: We study how IMF sampling affects the ionizing flux and emission line spectra of low mass stellar clusters. Methods: We performed 2 × 106 Monte Carlo simulations of zero-age solar-metallicity stellar clusters covering the 20-106 M&sun; mass range. We study the distribution of cluster stellar masses, Mclus, ionizing fluxes, Q(H0), and

While sunspots are easily observed at the solar surface, determining their subsurface structure is not trivial. There are two main hypotheses for the subsurface structure of sunspots: the monolithic model and the cluster model. Local helioseismology is the only means by which we can investigate subphotospheric structure. However, as current linear

We describe an ongoing program dedicated to the observation and physical characterization of Near Earth Objects (NEOs) using night facilities of Observatorio del Teide (Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, Tenerife, Spain). We are observing NEOs with the aim of doing recovery and follow-up astrometry, of studying their rotational properties using

We have been monitoring the position of the very faint X-ray transient XTE J1728-295 (= IGR J17285-2922, ATel #2823, #2824, #2825) with the Faulkes Telescopes North and South throughout its outburst. Data were acquired on thirteen dates from 1st September until 28th October, mostly in I- band and R-band. Of the original seven stars detected with
