The search for solar siblings has been particularly fruitful in the past few years. At present, there are four plausible candidates reported in the literature...
Searching for star-forming galaxies in the Fornax and Hydra clusters
Context. The formation and evolution of dwarf galaxies is relatively difficult to understand because of their faint emission in all regimes that require large...
Searching for the in-plane Galactic bar and ring in DENIS
New evidence for a long thin Galactic bar (in contradistinction to the bulge), as well as for the existence of the ring and the truncation of the inner disc...
Searching for the signatures of terrestrial planets in F-, G-type main-sequence stars
Context. Detailed chemical abundances of volatile and refractory elements have been discussed in the context of terrestrial-planet formation during in past...
Searching for transiting circumbinary planets in CoRoT and ground-based data using CB-BLS
Aims: Already from the initial discoveries of extrasolar planets it was apparent that their population and environments are far more diverse than initially...
Searching for transits in data with long time baselines and poor sampling
Aims: The standard method of searching parameter space for transits is ill-suited to data sets with long time baselines and poor temporal coverage, such as that...
Second solar spectrum of the Sr I 4607 Å line: depth probing of the turbulent magnetic field strength in a quiet region
Aims.This paper is devoted to an interpretation of Quiet-Sun, spatially-resolved spectropolarimetric observations of the Hanle effect in terms of turbulent weak...
Secondary eclipses in the CoRoT light curves. A homogeneous search based on Bayesian model selection
Aims: We aim to identify and characterize secondary eclipses in the original light curves of all published CoRoT planets using uniform detection and evaluation...
Secondary halo bias through cosmic time. I. Scaling relations and the connection with the cosmic web
Context. The spatial distribution of dark matter halos carries cosmological and astrophysical information. Cosmological information can be considered to be...
