    Can spicules be detected at disc centre in broad-band Ca ii H filter imaging data?
    Context. Recently, a possible identification of type II spicules in broad-band (full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of ~0.3 nm) filter imaging data in Ca ii H on the solar disc was reported. Aims: We estimate the formation height range contributing to broad-band and narrow-band filter imaging data in Ca ii H to investigate whether spicules can be

    Additional spectra of asteroid 1996 FG3, backup target of the ESA MarcoPolo-R mission
    Context. Near-Earth binary asteroid (175706) 1996 FG3 is the current backup target of the ESA MarcoPolo-R mission, selected for the study phase of ESA M3 missions. It is a primitive (C-type) asteroid that shows significant variation in its visible and near-infrared spectra. Aims: Here we present new visible and near-infrared spectra of 1996 FG3. We

    A sensitivity analysis of the WFCAM Transit Survey for short-period giant planets around M dwarfs
    The WFCAM Transit Survey (WTS) is a near-infrared transit survey running on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT), designed to discover planets around M dwarfs. The WTS acts as a poor-seeing backup programme for the telescope, and represents the first dedicated wide-field near-infrared transit survey. Observations began in 2007 gathering J

    A return to strong radio flaring by Circinus X-1 observed with the Karoo Array Telescope test array KAT-7
    Circinus X-1 is a bright and highly variable X-ray binary which displays strong and rapid evolution in all wavebands. Radio flaring, associated with the production of a relativistic jet, occurs periodically on a ˜17-d time-scale. A longer term envelope modulates the peak radio fluxes in flares, ranging from peaks in excess of a Jansky in the 1970s

    A measurement of galaxy halo mass from the surrounding H I Lyα absorption
    We measure the dark matter halo masses of ≈ 2.36 UV colour-selected star-forming galaxies by matching the observed median H I Lyα absorption around them, as observed in the spectra of background QSOs, to the absorption around haloes above a given mass in cosmological simulations. Focusing on transverse separations 0-2 proper Mpc (pMpc) and line-of

    A long-term X-ray monitoring of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5408 X-1 with Swift reveals the presence of dips but no orbital period
    NGC 5408 X-1 is a well-studied ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) that has been seen to emit in X-rays persistently above the Eddington limit of a stellar mass black hole for years. In this paper we report on the most extensive X-ray monitoring of a ULX, using more than 4 yr of observations from the Swift satellite. We find that the 115 d periodicity
