New companions to nearby low-mass stars
We present high-angular-resolution optical I-band imaging of 451 late K to mid-M nearby stars. These observations have been performed with Astralux and FastCam...
New constraints on the minimum mass for thermonuclear lithium burning in brown dwarfs
The theory of substellar evolution predicts that there is a sharp mass boundary between lithium and non-lithium brown dwarfs, not far below the substellar-mass...
New faint optical spectrophotometric standards: hot white dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The spectral energy distributions for pure-hydrogen (DA) hot white dwarfs can be accurately predicted by model atmospheres. This makes it possible to define...
New Galactic supernova remnants discovered with IPHAS
As part of a systematic search programme of a 10° wide strip of the northern Galactic plane, we present preliminary evidence for the discovery of four (and...
New giant planet beyond the snow line for an extended MOA exoplanet microlens sample
Characterizing a planet detected by microlensing is hard if the planetary signal is weak or the lens-source relative trajectory is far from caustics. However...
New GTC spectroscopic data and a statistical study to better constrain the redshift of the BL Lac RGB J2243 + 203
We present new spectroscopic data of the BL Lac RGB 2243 + 203, and its surroundings, obtained with the OSIRIS Multi Object Spectrograph (MOS) mounted in the...
New insights into the role of AGNs in forming the cluster red sequence
As a considerable investment of time from various telescope facilities was dedicated toward studying the Spiderweb protocluster at z = 2.2, it so far remains...
New members in the Upper Scorpius association from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey Early Data Release†
We present the results of a 9.3-deg2 infrared (ZYJHK) survey in the Upper Scorpius association extracted from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS)...
New OB star candidates in the Carina Arm around Westerlund 2 from VPHAS+
O and early B stars are at the apex of galactic ecology, but in the Milky Way, only a minority of them may yet have been identified. We present the results of a...
