Aims: We present here the list of planetary transit candidates detected in the first long run observed by CoRoT: LRc01, towards the galactic center in the direction of Aquila, which lasted from May to October 2007. Methods: we analyzed 3719 (33%) sources in the chromatic bands and 7689 in the monochromatic band. Instrumental noise and the stellar

With the release of CoRoT lightcurves of the Initial Run IRa01, 50 transiting planetary candidates have been published in a companion paper. About twenty of them were identified as binary stars from the CoRoT lightcurve itself. Complementary observations were conducted for 29 candidates, including ground-based photometry and radial-velocity

We observed several transits of TrES-1 and TrES-2 with the IAC 80cm telescope. (2 data files).

We present high-angular (~0.''4) resolution mid-infrared (MIR) polarimetric observations in the 8.7 μm and 11.6 μm filters of Cygnus A using CanariCam on the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio CANARIAS. A highly polarized nucleus is observed with a degree of polarization of 11% ± 3% and 12% ± 3% and a position angle of polarization of 27° ± 8° and 35° ± 8° in

We present results of analyses of observations of the X-ray source 2A 1704+241 with the ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) and the High Resolution Imager (HRI). 2A 1704+241 was first associated with the M-giant star HD 154791 based upon observations with the HEAO 1 SMC and the {Einstein} IPC and analysis of a spectrum of HD 154791

It is reported that 8-13-micron spectra have been obtained at several positions across the extended emission region of M82. No major differences among the spectra are found. In addition, a strong similarity is found between these spectra and the infrared spectrum of the Orion ionization front. The data are interpreted using a model for M82 in which
