The orbital phases and secondary transit of Kepler-10b - A physical interpretation based on the Lava-ocean planet model -
In this presentation, we apply the Lava-ocean model that has been proposed for planets of the class of CoRoT-7b, i.e. rocky planets at a few stellar radii from...
The Origin and Evolution of the Black Hole Binary XTE J1118+480
Black hole X-ray binaries with large mass ratios and short orbital periods are expected to change their orbital period due to magnetic breaking, mass loss...
Near-Earth asteroid 101955 (1999 RQ36; henceforth RQ36) is particularly interesting. It's especially accessible to spacecraft and is the primary target of NASA...
Near-Earth asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3 (henceforth JU3) is a potentially hazardous asteroid and the target of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency’s...
We identify an inner-belt, low-inclination origin for 1999JU3 through the Nu6 resonance. Within this region there are three possible sources, the Erigone and...
The Origin of Bulges and Discs. The Stellar Mass Growth Unveiled using CALIFA Spectro-Photometric Decompositions
Directly linked to the mass of the dark matter halo where baryons form, the galaxy stellar mass (M_star) is the most important observable parameter to...
