    An eclipsing double-line spectroscopic binary at the stellar/substellar boundary in the Upper Scorpius OB association
    Aims: We aim at constraining evolutionary models at low mass and young ages by identifying interesting transiting system members of the nearest OB association to the Sun, Upper Scorpius (USco), which has been targeted by the Kepler mission. Methods: We produced light curves for M-dwarf members of the USco region that has been surveyed during the

    An elevation of 0.1 light-seconds for the optical jet base in an accreting Galactic black hole system
    Relativistic plasma jets are observed in many systems that host accreting black holes. According to theory, coiled magnetic fields close to the black hole accelerate and collimate the plasma, leading to a jet being launched1-3. Isolating emission from this acceleration and collimation zone is key to measuring its size and understanding jet

    An Ellipsoidal Study of Centaurus-X-4
    We present the first infrared ellipsoidal study of a low-mass X-ray binary system, and hence measure the mass of the neutron star. Photometry of Cen X-4 obtained during 1990-91 allows us to determine the quiescent light curve. By fitting this light curve with an ellipsoidal model we revise the ephemeris, obtain solutions in the mass ratio

  • Refereed
    An Empirical Criterion to Classify T Tauri Stars and Substellar Analogs Using Low-Resolution Optical Spectroscopy
    We have compiled and studied photometric and spectroscopic data published in the literature of several star-forming regions and young open clusters (Orion, Taurus, IC 348, Sco-Cen complex, Chamaeleon I, TW Hydrae association, σ Orionis cluster, IC 2391, α Persei cluster, and the Pleiades). Our goal was to seek the definition of a simple empirical

    An extensive search for planetary nebulae in M33
    The importance of the study of Planetary Nebulae (PNe) in our Galaxy and in external galaxies is outlined, with the aim of highlighting how the combined study of galactic and extragalactic PNe can bring a substantial contribution to our understanding of the late stages of stellar evolution and of related astrophysical topics. We then illustrate the

    An Imaging Survey of Nearby Spiral Galaxies
    We describe the progress of a large optical and near-infrared imaging study of a complete sample of 57 spiral galaxies. We have obtained B, I, K' and Hα imaging to map stellar populations and massive star formation (SF) across the arm and interarm regions, in order to study the distribution of mass and SF in these different and distinct
