We have identified a new intermediate polar, HS 0943+1404, as part of our ongoing search for cataclysmic variables in the Hamburg Quasar Survey. The orbital and...
HS 1857+5144: a hot and young pre-cataclysmic variable
Aims:We report the discovery of a new white dwarf/M dwarf binary, HS 1857+5144, identified in the Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS). Methods: Time-resolved optical...
HST and VLT observations of the symbiotic star Hen 2-147. Its nebular dynamics, its Mira variable and its distance
Aims:We investigate the dynamics of the nebula around the symbiotic star Hen 2-147, determine its expansion parallax, and compare it with the distance obtained...
In order to definitely prove the claim by Claeskens et al. (1996A&A...305L...9C) that J03.13 is a doubly imaged quasar, WFPC2 direct imaging and FOS...
HST grism spectroscopy of z ∼ 3 massive quiescent galaxies. Approaching the metamorphosis
Tracing the emergence of the massive quiescent galaxy (QG) population requires the build-up of reliable quenched samples by distinguishing these systems from...
HST/ACS observations of shell galaxies: inner shells, shell colours and dust
Context: Shells in Elliptical Galaxies are faint, sharp-edged features, believed to provide evidence for a merger event. Accurate photometry at high spatial...
Hubble constant and nuclear equation of state from kilonova spectro-photometric light curves
The merger of two compact objects of which at least one is a neutron star is signalled by transient electromagnetic emission in a kilonova (KN). This event is...
Hubble Space Telescope study of resolved red giant stars in the outer halos of nearby dwarf starburst galaxies
Context. Central starbursts in galaxies are an extreme example of ongoing galaxy evolution. The outer parts of galaxies contain a fossil record of galaxy...
Hubble spectroscopy of LB-1: Comparison with B+black-hole and Be+stripped-star models
Context. LB-1 (alias ALS 8775) has been proposed as either an X-ray dim B-type star plus black hole (B+BH) binary or a Be star plus an inflated stripped star...
