We will present results of a survey of Hilda asteroids to look for extreme shape objects. We used WISE [1, 2] sparse IR photometry to identify objects with high photometric variability in different bands. Highly variable candidates were targeted by densely sampled, follow-up ground-based photometry. Similar strategies were successfully used to
EK Cep is a double-lined eclipsing binary system with unique characteristics. Accurate absolute dimensions are available, a good determination of the surface lithium abundance has been made, the system is known to show apsidal motion variations, and its secondary component seems to be in the pre main sequence phase. Due to all this, it appears to
We used a new generation of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stellar models that include dust formation in the stellar winds to find the links between evolutionary models and the observed properties of a homogeneous sample of Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) planetary nebulae (PNe). Comparison between the evolutionary yields of elements such as CNO and
A large-scale three-dimensional model of Galactic extinction is presented based on the Galactic dust distribution model of citet{DS01}. The extinction AV to any point within the Galactic disk can be quickly deduced using a set of three-dimensional Cartesian grids. Extinctions from the model are compared to empirical extinction measures, including
The first results are presented here of the Two-Micron Galactic Survey (TMGS). The TMGS is the most sensitive near-infrared survey of the Galactic plane yet attempted on a large scale. The Galactic plane has been drift-scanned in several regions over the areas -5° < l < 30°, |b| ≤ 15° and 30° < l < 180°, |b| ≤ 5°. The discussion in this paper
Many X-ray binaries remain undetected in the mid-infrared, a regime where emission from their compact jets is likely to dominate. Here, we report the detection of the black hole binary GX 339-4 with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) during a very bright, hard accretion state in 2010. Combined with a rich contemporaneous multiwavelength
