Optical CCD spectra are used to determine the element{Fe} abundances at several positions inside seven bright Galactic H Ii regions. The observed [Fe Iii] line...
Irradiation origin and stability of CO on trans-Neptunian objects: Laboratory constraints and observational evidence from JWST/DiSCo-TNOs
Context. The James Webb Space Telescope large program DiSCo-TNOs has recently shown that CO 2 ice is ubiquitous on 54 mediumsize trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs)...
Is HCG 31 undergoing a merger or a fly-by interaction?
We present Fabry-Perot and multi-object spectroscopy of the galaxies in Hickson compact group 31 (HCG 31). Based upon our Hα data cubes, galaxies A and C are a...
Is the activity level of HD 80606 influenced by its eccentric planet?
Aims: Several studies suggest that the activity level of a planet-host star can be influenced by the presence of a close-by orbiting planet. Moreover, the...
Is there Na I in the atmosphere of HD 209458b?. Effect of the centre-to-limb variation and Rossiter-McLaughlin effect in transmission spectroscopy studies
HD 209458b was the first transiting planet discovered, and the first for which an atmosphere, in particular Na I, was detected. With time, it has become one of...
ISOCAM observations in the Lockman Hole. I. The 14.3 μm shallow survey: Data reduction, catalogue, and optical identifications
We present the image and catalogue of the 14.3 μ shallow survey of 0.55 square degrees in the region of the Lockman Hole (10^h52^m03^s +57°21'46'', J2000) with...
ISOPHOT covers the largest wavelength range on ISO from 2.5 to 240μm. Its scientific capabilities include multi-filter and multi-aperture photometry...
ISOPHOT - Photometric calibration of point sources
All observations by the aperture photometer (PHT-P) and the far-infrared (FIR) camera section (PHT-C) of ISOPHOT included reference measurements against stable...
Isotropic inelastic and superelastic collisional rates in a multiterm atom
The spectral line polarization of the radiation emerging from a magnetized astrophysical plasma depends on the state of the atoms within the medium, whose...
