CoRoT-9b, the first well-known temperate exoplanet.
The CoRoT satellite discovers the first Jupiter-like exoplanet, which can be studied in detail when it passes in front of its central star. The CoRoT satellite...
Cosmic amorphous dust in the interstellar medium as a possible explanation for the Anomalous Microwave Emission
The main emission mechanisms of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the spectral range between the radio and the far infrared are very well characterised and...
Cybele: detection of small silicate grains, water-ice, and organics.
The authors show that the surface structure of the primitive asteroid (65) Cybele is covered by a layer of fine anhydrous silicate grains, mixed with smaller...
Dark Matter, Magnetic Fields, and the Rotation Curve of the Milky Way.
The study of the disk rotation curve of our Galaxy at large distances provides an interesting scenario for us to test whether magnetic fields should be...
Stellar ages are key to several fields of astrophysics such as exoplanet research, galactic-archeology, and of course stellar physics. Obtaining the ages of...
Deep spectroscopic luminosity function of Abell 85: no evidence for a steep upturn of the faint-end slope.
We present a new deep determination of the spectroscopic LF within the virial radius of the nearby and massive Abell 85 (A85) cluster down to the dwarf regime...
A planet the size of Jupiter (TrES-1) has been detected from its transits around a star K0 V. (Data: M=0.75 ± 0.07 MJ R= 1.08 (+0.18,-0.04) RJ ). This is the...
Detection of anomalous microwave emission in the Perseus molecular cloud
An anomalous emission has been detected in the microwave region of the Perseus Molecular Cloud. This work extends the frequency range of the studies being...
Detection of companion stars of the pulsar X1822-371 and black hole candidate GX339-4
Ref 1: X1822-3711 | Ref 2: GX339-4 Detecting companion stars in these systems has been impossible until now. Thanks to a new technique developed at the IAC...
