    Limits to the presence of transiting circumbinary planets in CoRoT Data
    Aims: During its flight phase, from 2007-2012, the CoRoT mission delivered light curves for over 2000 eclipsing binaries. Data from the Kepler mission have...

    Lithium in the Hyades L5 brown dwarf 2MASS J04183483+2131275
    Aims: From the luminosity, effective temperature and age of the Hyades brown dwarf 2MASS J04183483+2131275 (2M0418), substellar evolutionary models predict a...

    Local Cosmology from Isolated Dwarfs: variable stars from the LCID project.
    During Cycle 14 a total of 113 HST orbits were secured to observe five isolated dwarf galaxies, namely Tucana, LGS3, LeoA, IC1613, and Cetus. The aim of the...

    Long-term photometric monitoring with the Mercator telescope. Frequencies and multicolour amplitudes of γ Doradus stars
    Context: γ Dor stars are excellent targets for asteroseismology since the gravity modes present in these stars probe the deep stellar interiors. Mode...
