UV surface brightness of galaxies from the local universe to z ~ 5
The Tolman test for surface brightness (SB) dimming was originally proposed as a test for the expansion of the universe. The test, which is independent of the...
UV view of High Mass X-Ray Binary systems (what we know and perspectives for WSO-UV)
High Mass X-Ray Binary systems (HMXRB) are composed by a compact object orbiting around a OB massive star. The mass transfer which takes place from the massive...
UV-extended E-MILES stellar population models: young components in massive early-type galaxies
We present UV-extended E-MILES stellar population synthesis models covering the spectral range λλ 1680-50 000 Å at moderately high resolution. We employ the...
uvbyβ photometry of the short-period binary VV Ursae Majoris
We present well-sampled uvby light curves, supplemented by a few β filter measurements, of the Algol binary VV UMa. The light curves are analysed using two...
V-type candidates and Vesta family asteroids in the Moving Objects VISTA (MOVIS) catalogue
Context. Basaltic asteroids (spectrally classified as V-types) are believed to be fragments of large differentiated bodies. The majority of them are found in...
We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy and photometry of the nova-like cataclysmic variable V348 Puppis. The system displays the same spectroscopic...
V404 CYG/GS 2023+338: Monitoring in the Optical with Robotic Telescopes of the MASTER Global Network during the 2015 Superburst
2070 unique, homogeneous photometric and polarization observations of the microquasar in a binary system with a black hole V404 Cyg/GS2023+338 obtained in 2015...
V533 Herculis: the second SW Sex old nova displaying emission-line flaring
We present high-time-resolution spectroscopy of the non-eclipsing old nova V533 Herculis (N Her 1963). It is the second nova remnant affected by the `SW Sex...
