    What ignites on the neutron star of 4U 0614+091?
    The low-mass X-ray binary 4U 0614+091 is a source of sporadic thermonuclear (type I) X-ray bursts. We find bursts with a wide variety of characteristics in...

    What is the Milky Way outer halo made of?. High resolution spectroscopy of distant red giants
    In a framework where galaxies form hierarchically, extended stellar haloes are predicted to be an ubiquitous feature around Milky Way-like galaxies and to...

    When binaries keep track of recent nucleosynthesis. The Zr-Nb pair in extrinsic stars as an s-process diagnostic
    Context. Barium stars are s-process enriched giants. They owe their chemical peculiarities to a past mass transfer phase. During this phase they were polluted...

    When nature tries to trick us. An eclipsing eccentric close binary superposed on the central star of the planetary nebula M 3-2
    Bipolar planetary nebulae (PNe) are thought to result from binary star interactions and, indeed, tens of binary central stars of PNe have been found, in...
