  • Post-AGB stars with hot circumstellar dust: binarity of the low-amplitude pulsators
    Context: The influence of binarity on the late stages of stellar evolution remains an open issue. Aims: While the first binary post-AGB stars were serendipitously discovered, the distinct characteristics of their spectral energy distribution (SED) allowed us to launch a more systematic search for binaries. We selected post-AGB objects, which

  • Power Spectra of Velocities and Magnetic Fields on the Solar Surface and their Dependence on the Unsigned Magnetic Flux Density
    We have performed power spectral analysis of surface temperatures, velocities, and magnetic fields, using spectropolarimetric data taken with the Hinode Solar Optical Telescope. When we make power spectra in a field of view covering the supergranular scale, kinetic and thermal power spectra have a prominent peak at the granular scale while the

  • Precise radial velocities of giant stars. IX. HD 59686 Ab: a massive circumstellar planet orbiting a giant star in a 13.6 au eccentric binary system
    Context. For over 12 yr, we have carried out a precise radial velocity (RV) survey of a sample of 373 G- and K-giant stars using the Hamilton Échelle Spectrograph at the Lick Observatory. There are, among others, a number of multiple planetary systems in our sample as well as several planetary candidates in stellar binaries. Aims: We aim at

  • Precise surface gravities of δ Scuti stars from asteroseismology
    The work reported here demonstrates that it is possible to accurately determine surface gravities of δ Scuti (δ Sct) stars using the frequency content from high-precision photometry and a measurement of the parallax. Using a sample of 10 eclipsing binary systems with a δ Sct component and the unique δ Sct star discovered with a transiting planet

  • Preliminary design and plans for the GTC adaptive optics system
    The 10m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) is currently being installed in the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) on the island of La Palma. An adaptive optics (AO) system will be installed at one of the Nasmyth foci of the telescope within a year of the telescope being commissioned. The preliminary design of the adaptive optics system is

  • Preliminary results on the contribution of the convection motions to the Doppler velocity signal
    This investigation aims to study the correlation of the solar background with atmosphere. We used high resolution observations of the NaDl spectral line. In fact the large span in formation heights of this spectral line allowed us to infer the signal from photosphere to chromosphere. We analyzed the data by applying the SIR code (Stokes Inversion
