Searching for non-Gaussianity in the Very Small Array data
We have tested Very Small Array (VSA) observations of three regions of sky for the presence of non-Gaussianity, using high-order cumulants, Minkowski...
Searching for nova shells around cataclysmic variables - II. A second campaign
We report on our second campaign to search for old nova shells around cataclysmic variables (CVs). Our aim was to test the theory that nova eruptions cause...
Searching for optical companions to four binary millisecond pulsars with the Gran Telescopio Canarias
We report on multiband photometric observations of four binary millisecond pulsars with the Gran Telescopio Canarias. The observations led to detection of...
Searching for R-process-enhanced Stars in the LAMOST Survey. II. Two New r-II Stars in the Milky Way Disk
R-process-enhanced (RPE) stars are rare and typically metal-poor ([Fe/H] < ‑1.0), primarily found in the Milky Way halo system and dwarf galaxies. This study...
The search for solar siblings has been particularly fruitful in the past few years. At present, there are four plausible candidates reported in the literature...
Searching for star-forming galaxies in the Fornax and Hydra clusters
Context. The formation and evolution of dwarf galaxies is relatively difficult to understand because of their faint emission in all regimes that require large...
Searching for the in-plane Galactic bar and ring in DENIS
New evidence for a long thin Galactic bar (in contradistinction to the bulge), as well as for the existence of the ring and the truncation of the inner disc...
Luminous red novae (LRNe) are astrophysical transients believed to be caused by the partial ejection of a binary star's common envelope (CE) and the merger of...
