    The dominant role of mergers in the size evolution of massive early-type galaxies since z ~ 1
    Aims: The role of galaxy mergers in massive galaxy evolution, and in particular to mass assembly and size growth, remains an open question. In this paper we...

    The Doppler shift from zodiacal light
    A theory is outlined for analyzing the observed mean Doppler shift of Fraunhofer lines in the zodiacal light, assuming that the particle distribution in terms...

    The double low-mass white dwarf eclipsing binary system J2102-4145 and its possible evolution
    In recent years, about 150 low-mass white dwarfs (WDs), typically with masses below 0.4 M ⊙, have been discovered. The majority of these low-mass WDs are...

    The double sub-giant branch of NGC 6656 (M 22): a chemical characterization
    We present an abundance analysis of 101 subgiant branch (SGB) stars in the globular cluster M 22. Using low-resolution FLAMES/GIRAFFE spectra we have determined...

    The double-mode nature of the HADS star GSC 00144-03031 and the Petersen diagram of the class
    The double-mode pulsation of GSC 00144-03031 has been detected when searching for COROT targets. A very large dataset composed of 4722 photometric measurements...

    The double-peaked 2008 outburst of the accreting milli-second X-ray pulsar, IGR J00291+5934
    Context. In August 2008, the accreting milli-second X-ray pulsar (AMXP), IGR J00291+5934, underwent an outburst lasting ~100 days, the first since its discovery...

    The dust content of high-z submillimeter galaxies revealed by Herschel
    We use deep observations taken with the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS), on board the Herschel satellite as part of the PACS evolutionary...

    The dust morphology of the elliptical Galaxy M 86 with SPIRE
    We present Herschel-SPIRE observations at 250-500 μm of the giant elliptical galaxy M 86 and examine the distribution of the resolved cold dust emission and its...

    The dust tail of Comet C/1999 T1 McNaught-Hartley
    A numerical method to compute cometary dust tail brightnesses has been developed. The method, analogous in many ways to the inverse Monte Carlo method proposed...
