We report on-off pointed MAMBO observations at 1.2 mm of 61 Spitzer-selected star-forming galaxies from the Spitzer Wide Area Infrared Extragalactic Legacy survey (SWIRE). The sources are selected on the basis of bright 24 μm fluxes (f 24 μm > 0.4 mJy) and of stellar dominated near-infrared spectral energy distributions in order to favor z ~ 2

Context: The connection of cluster mergers with the presence of extended, diffuse radio sources in galaxy clusters is still being debated. Aims: We aim to obtain new insights into the internal dynamics of Abell 959, showing evidence of a diffuse radio source, analyzing velocities and positions of member galaxies. Methods: Our analysis is based on

The overall reflectance of sunlight from Earth is a fundamental parameter for climate studies. Recently, measurements of earthshine were used to find large decadal variability in Earth's reflectance of sunlight. However, the results did not seem consistent with contemporaneous independent albedo measurements from the low Earth orbit satellite

Aims: To detect line effects using spectropolarimetry in order to find evidence of rotating disks and their respective symmetry axes in T Tauri stars. Methods: We used the IAGPOL imaging polarimeter along with the Eucalyptus-IFU to obtain spectropolarimetric measurements of the T Tauri stars RY Tau (two epochs) and PX Vul (one epoch). Evidence of

We present multi-epoch near-infrared high-resolution VLT/NACO observations of the benchmark brown dwarf binary Kelu-1 AB. We have analyzed the first resolved spectra of the individual components. The primary itself seems to be an unresolved spectroscopic binary with spectral types L0.5+/-0.5 and T7.5+/-1, and the secondary is likely a L3 pec+/-1.5

We present a sample of sources with convex radio spectra peaking at frequencies above a few GHz, known as ``High Frequency Peakers" (HFPs). A ``bright" sample with a flux density limit of 300 mJy at 5 GHz has been presented by Dallacasa et al. (2000). Here we present the ``faint" sample with flux density between 50 and 300 mJy at 5 GHz, restricted
