We have used as the velocity field of a fluid the functional form derived in Casuso (2007), obtained by studying the origin of turbulence as a consequence of a new description of the density distribution of matter as a modified discontinuous Dirichlet integral. Asan interesting result we have found that this functional form for velocities is a

We report an anticorrelation between continuum luminosity and the equivalent width (EW) of the Hα emission line in X-ray binary systems. The effect is evident both in a universal monotonic increase in Hα EW with time following outbursts, as systems fade, and in a comparison between measured EWs and contemporaneous X-ray measurements. The effect is

We report the discovery of one or more planet-mass companions to the K0-giant HD 102272 with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. In the absence of any correlation of the observed periodicities with the standard indicators of stellar activity, the observed radial velocity variations are most plausibly explained in terms of a Keplerian motion of at least one

A mayor problem that arises in the computation of stellar atmosphere models is the self consistent determination of the temperature distribution via the constraint of energy conservation. The energy balance includes the gains due to the absorption of radiation: int χ(ν) J(ν) dν, and the losses due to emission: int χ(ν) S(ν) dν . It is well known

Los asteroides son objetos que no poseen atmósfera cuyo tamaño es menor que el de los planetas y que orbitan alrededor del Sol. La principal población de estos objetos se encuentra entre las órbitas de Marte y Júpiter, en el denominado "cinturón principal" (main belt, MB). Dentro de los asteroides son de especial interés los asteroides cercanos a

The discovery of V Indi Ba and Bb, a nearby binary brown dwarf system with a main-sequence companion, allows a concerted campaign to characterise the physical parameters of two T dwarfs providing benchmarks against which atmospheric and evolutionary models can be tested. Some recent observations suggest the models at low mass and intermediate age
