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...

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...

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 pulsation of GSC 00144-03031 has been detected when searching for COROT targets. A very large dataset composed of 4722 photometric measurements...

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...

We use deep observations taken with the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS), on board the Herschel satellite as part of the PACS evolutionary...

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...

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...

Context. In recent decades, several multiwavelength studies have been dedicated to exploring the properties of the obscuring material in active galactic nuclei...
