Evolved stars observed within the Penn State - Torun Center for Astronomy Planet Search (PTPS) conducted with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope are supposed to present various effects of activity. In addition to chromospheric activity and/or pulsations one may expect spots temporarily appearing on their surfaces and rotating with stars that mimic

We present a design for the computer systems which control, configure, and monitor the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) correlator and process its output. Two distinct computer systems implement this functionality: a rack- mounted PC controls and monitors the correlator, and a cluster of 17 PCs process the correlator output into raw spectral

Photometric and radial velocity amplitudes and amplitude related parameters of Galactic single mode classical Cepheids are given complemented with indication of spectroscopic [Fe/H] value, binarity and the pulsation mode. (1 data file).

We present ALMA observations of the mid-J 12CO emission from six single-dish selected 870-μm sources in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South and UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey fields. These six single-dish submillimetre sources were selected based on previous ALMA continuum observations, which showed that each comprised a blend of emission from two or

The β Cephei star HD 180642 was observed by the CoRoT satellite during a run of 156 days in 2007. The space white light photometry revealed the rich frequency spectrum of the star (Degroote et al. 2009). In the present study, we provide additional information on the target, based on both ground-based multi-colour photometry and high-resolution

We present the results of a detailed analysis of 121 ground-based high-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio spectroscopic measurements spread over 3 yr for the β Cephei star θ Ophiuchi. We discovered θ Oph to be a triple system. In addition to the already known speckle B5 companion of the B2 primary, we showed the presence of a low-mass
