The new carbon symbiotic star IPHAS J205836.43+503307.2
Aims: We are performing a search for symbiotic stars using IPHAS, the INT Hα survey of the northern Galactic plane, and follow-up observations. Methods...
The new orbital elements and properties of ɛ Persei
A detailed analysis of a large collection of electronic spectra from three observatories, together with radial velocities published earlier, were used to derive...
The NGC 346 massive star census. Nitrogen abundances for apparently single, narrow lined, hydrogen core burning B-type stars
Previous analyses of two large spectroscopic surveys of early-type stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have found an excess of nitrogen enriched B-type...
The Night Sky at the Calar Alto Observatory II: The Sky at the Near-infrared
We present the characterization of additional properties of the night sky at the Calar Alto observatory, following the study started by Sánchez et al. in 2007...
The Ninth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) presents the first spectroscopic data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This ninth data...
The NIR Ca ii triplet at low metallicity. Searching for extremely low-metallicity stars in classical dwarf galaxies
The NIR Ca ii triplet absorption lines have proven to be an important tool for quantitative spectroscopy of individual red giant branch stars in the Local Group...
The NOEMA observations of GN-z11: constraining the neutral interstellar medium and dust formation in the heart of cosmic reionization at z = 10.6
We present results of dust continuum and [C II]$\, 158\, {\rm \mu m}$ emission line observations of a remarkably UV luminous (M UV = -21.6) galaxy at z = 10.603...
The non-LTE line formation of neutral carbon in late-type stars
Aims.We investigate the non-Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (non-LTE) line formation of neutral carbon in late-type stars in order to remove some of the...
