Context. The CoRoT mission is in its third year of observation and the data from the second long run in the galactic centre direction are being analysed. The...

Context. During the past 30 years the surface of Pluto has been characterized and its variability monitored through continuous near-infrared spectroscopic...

In this work, we study the formation and evolution of dark matter haloes by means of the spherical infalling model with shell-crossing. We present a framework...

We present deep imaging observations, orbital dynamics, and dust-tail model analyses of the double-component asteroid P/2016 J1 (J1-A and J1-B). The...

We present a new method to solve the star formation history (SFH) of a complex stellar population system from the analysis of the color-magnitude diagram (CMD)...

We present a general analytical formalism to calculate accurately several statistics related to underdense regions in the Universe. The statistics are computed...

This paper is the first in a series of two that deals with the physical and numerical grounds of stellar atmospheres modelling. After a phenomenological...

In this paper, the second and the last of the series, we present a sequential algorithm to solve the stellar atmosphere problem that may serve as a paradigm for...

Aims: We aim to investigate the origin of the discrepant results reported in the literature about the presence of Na I in the atmosphere of HD 209458 b, based...
