Detection of Thermal Emission from an Extrasolar Planet
We present Spitzer Space Telescope infrared photometric time series of the transiting extrasolar planet system TrES-1. The data span a predicted time of...
Detection of transit timing variations in excess of one hour in the Kepler multi-planet candidate system KOI 806 with the GTC
Aims: We report the detection of transit timing variations (TTVs) well in excess of one hour in the Kepler multi-planet candidate system KOI 806. This system...
Determination of the spectroscopic stellar parameters for 257 field giant stars★
The study of stellar parameters of planet-hosting stars, such as metallicity and chemical abundances, help us to understand the theory of planet formation and...
Determining the dynamics and magnetic fields in He I 10830 Å during a solar filament eruption
Aims: We investigate the dynamics and magnetic properties of the plasma, including the line-of-sight velocity (LOS) and optical depth, as well as the vertical...
Diagnostic capabilities of spectropolarimetric observations for understanding solar phenomena. I. Zeeman-sensitive photospheric lines
Future ground-based telescopes will expand our capabilities for simultaneous multi-line polarimetric observations in a wide range of wavelengths, from the near...
Differential asteroseismic study of seismic twins observed by CoRoT. Comparison of HD 175272 with HD 181420
Context. The CoRoT short asteroseismic runs give us the opportunity to observe a large variety of late-type stars through their solar-like oscillations. We...
Differential atmospheric refraction in integral-field spectroscopy: Effects and correction. Atmospheric refraction in IFS
The basic concepts for determining the effect of differential atmospheric refraction on integral-field (two-dimensional) spectroscopic observations are...
Differential image motion in astrometric observations with very large seeing-limited telescopes
Aims. We investigate how to quantitatively model the observed differential image motion (DIM) in relative astrometric observations. Methods. As a test bed we...
Differential reddening in 48 globular clusters: An end to the quest for the intracluster medium
For decades, it has been theorized that a tenuous but detectable intracluster medium should be present in globular clusters, which is continuously replenished...
