Description
We present radial and rotation (v sin i) velocity measurements from UVES+VLT high resolution spectra of 61 stars in the blue horizontal branches (HB) of the Galactic globular clusters NGC 1904 (M 79), NGC 2808, NGC 6093 (M 80) and NGC 7078 (M 15). The data reduction and the velocity determination, based on cross-correlation techniques, are discussed in detail. Most of this database has been used by Recio-Blanco et al. (cite{Recio02}) in their analysis of the rotation velocity properties of blue HB stars. Here we present additional data for NGC 2808. We confirm the results of the previous paper, in particular, a possible link between the HB jump and the abrupt change in the rotational velocity distribution around Teff˜ 11 500 K. Based on observations with the ESO Very Large Telescope + UVES, at the Paranal Observatory, Chile. Tables 2-5 are only available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/417/597

    TOI-5005 b: A super-Neptune in the savanna near the ridge
    Context. The Neptunian desert and savanna have recently been found to be separated by a ridge, an overdensity of planets in the period range of ≃3–5 days. These features are thought to be shaped by dynamical and atmospheric processes. However, their roles are not yet well understood. Aims. Our aim was to confirm and characterize the super-Neptune

    Multiple reference star differential imaging with VLT/SPHERE: Influence of the reference frame selection and library
    Context. High-contrast imaging observations mostly rely on angular differential imaging, a successful technique for detecting point-sources, such as planets. However, in the vicinity of the star (typically below 300 mas), this technique suffers from signal self-subtraction when there is not enough field rotation. Building large libraries of

    Hints of auroral and magnetospheric polarized radio emission from the scallop-shell star 2MASS J05082729–2101444
    Scallop-shell stars, a recently discovered class of young M dwarfs, show complex optical light curves that are characterized by periodic dips as well as other features that are stable over tens to hundreds of rotation cycles. The origin of these features is not well-understood. 2MASS J05082729‑2101444 is a ∼25 Myr old scallop-shell star that was
