The blue supergiant Sher 25 is surrounded by an asymmetric, hourglass-shaped circumstellar nebula, which shows similarities to the triple-ring structure seen...
Shock Excited Molecules in NGC 1266: ULIRG Conditions at the Center of a Bulge-dominated Galaxy
We investigate the far infrared (IR) spectrum of NGC 1266, a S0 galaxy that contains a massive reservoir of highly excited molecular gas. Using the Herschel...
The kinematics of Planetary Nebulae are analyzed in terms of the solutions to the equations of hydrodynamic equilibrium developed by J. Canto. We apply our...
The propagation of a shock wave in a magnetic flux tube is studied within the framework of the Brinkley-Kirkwood theory adapted to a radiating gas. Simplified...
Shock-induced polarized hydrogen emission lines in the Mira star o Ceti
Context. In the spectra of variable pulsating stars, especially Mira stars, the detection of intense hydrogen emission lines has been explained by the presence...
Shocked POststarburst Galaxy Survey. III. The Ultraviolet Properties of SPOGs
The Shocked POststarburst Galaxy Survey (SPOGS) aims to identify galaxies in the transitional phase between actively star-forming and quiescence with nebular...
Shocks in the Quiet Solar Photosphere: A Rather Common Occurrence
We present observations of the quiet solar photosphere in the Fe I lines at 6302 Å where at least four different spatial locations exhibit upward-directed...
Short time-scale fluctuations in the difference light curves of QSO 0957+561A,B: microlensing or noise?
From optical R-band data of the double quasar QSO 0957+561A,B, we made two new difference light curves (with an overlap of about 330d between the time-shifted...
Short-duration high-amplitude flares detected on the M dwarf star KIC 5474065
Using data obtained during the RATS-Kepler project, we identified one short-duration flare in a 1 h sequence of ground-based photometry of the dwarf star KIC...
