We investigate the feasibility of measuring line-of-sight magnetic field strength in the solar chromosphere through Stokes polarimetry in the hydrogen Hα line. Because of the large intrinsic Doppler width of the hydrogen line, the weak-field approximation applies even for the strongest magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere. We calculate the Hα

Since pulsating subdwarf B (sdBV or EC14026) stars were first discovered, observational efforts have tried to realize their potential for constraining the interior physics of extreme horizontal branch stars. Difficulties encountered along the way include uncertain mode identifications and a lack of stable pulsation mode properties. Here we report

Using classical model atmospheres and an LTE analysis, Mg isotope ratios 24Mg:25Mg:26Mg are measured in 32 Hyades dwarfs covering effective temperatures 4000K

This paper is focused on the search for low-amplitude solar gravity modes between 150 and 400 μHz, corresponding to low-degree, low-order modes. It presents results based on an original strategy that looks for multiplets instead of single peaks, taking into consideration our knowledge of the solar interior from acoustic modes. Five years of quasi

We present the results of the dynamical analysis of the rich, hot, and X-ray very luminous galaxy cluster A2219, containing a powerful diffuse radio-halo. Our analysis is based on new redshift data for 27 galaxies in the cluster region, measured from spectra obtained at the TNG, with the addition of other 105 galaxies recovered from reduction of

We measure the variance in the distribution of off-plane (|b|>20o ) galaxies with m_K
