Planetary nebulae in the Small Magellanic Cloud
We analyse the planetary nebulae (PNe) population of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), based on evolutionary models of stars with metallicities in the range 10...
Planetary nebulae: the universal mass-metallicity relation for Local Group dwarf galaxies and the chemistry of NGC 205
Here we study 16 planetary nebulae (PNe) in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 205 by using Gemini Multi-Object Spectrographs (GMOS@Gemini) spectra to derive their...
Planetary system detection by estimating the covariance of coronagraphic lucky images
In this paper, we review two different methods to increase image contrast and propose the combination of both to detect faint companions surrounding a host star...
Polarimetry of the transient relativistic jet of GRB 110328/Swift J164449.3+573451
We present deep infrared (Ks-band) imaging polarimetry and radio (1.4- and 4.8-GHz) polarimetry of the enigmatic transient Swift J164449.3+573451. This source...
Polarized infrared emission from X-ray binary jets
Near-infrared (NIR) and optical polarimetric observations of a selection of X-ray binaries are presented. The targets were observed using the Very Large...
Polarized resonance line transfer in a spherically symmetric medium with angle-dependent partial frequency redistribution
In a stellar atmosphere, the resonance line polarization arises from scattering of limb-darkened radiation field by atoms. This spectral line polarization gets...
Polarized synchrotron emission in quiescent black hole X-ray transients
We present near-infrared polarimetric observations of the black hole X-ray binaries Swift J1357.2-0933 and A0620-00. In both sources, recent studies have...
Possible detection of a bimodal cloud distribution in the atmosphere of HAT-P-32 A b from multiband photometry
We present high-precision photometry of eight separate transit events in the HAT-P-32 planetary system. One transit event was observed simultaneously by two...
Post maximum light and late time optical imaging polarimetry of type I superluminous supernova 2020znr
Optical imaging polarimetry was conducted on the hydrogen poor superluminous supernova 2020znr during three phases after maximum light (≍ +34 d, +288 d, and...
