El 2 de agosto de 2027 se producirá un evento excepcional: un eclipse solar de gran magnitud (1,079) que recorrerá el sur de España, el norte de África y...
Once in a blue moon: detection of `bluing' during debris transits in the white dwarf WD 1145+017
The first transiting planetesimal orbiting a white dwarf was recently detected in K2 data of WD 1145+017 and has been followed up intensively. The multiple...
En 2015 celebrábamos el Año Internacional de la Luz, “mensajera” de los fenómenos astrofísicos, así como el 30 aniversario de la inauguración oficial de la sede...
Secondary eclipses in the CoRoT light curves. A homogeneous search based on Bayesian model selection
Aims: We aim to identify and characterize secondary eclipses in the original light curves of all published CoRoT planets using uniform detection and evaluation...
El próximo día 21 de enero, la Luna volverá a cruzar la sombra de la Tierra, adquiriendo el resplandor cobrizo tan característico de los eclipses lunares. El...
System parameters of three short-period cataclysmic variable stars
Using photometric ULTRACAM observations of three new short-period cataclysmic variables (CVs), we model the primary eclipse light curves to extract the orbital...
The centre-to-limb variations of solar Fraunhofer lines imprinted upon lunar eclipse spectra. Implications for exoplanet transit observations
The atmospheres of exoplanets are commonly studied by observing the transit of the planet passing in front of its parent star. The obscuration of part of the...
The GTC exoplanet transit spectroscopy survey. III. No asymmetries in the transit of CoRoT-29b
Context. The launch of the exoplanet space missions obtaining exquisite photometry from space has resulted in the discovery of thousands of planetary systems...
The Mass of the Neutron Star in CYG X-2 (V1341 CYG)
Cygnus X-2 is one of the brightest and longest known X-ray sources. We present high resolution optical spectroscopy of Cyg X-2 obtained over 4 years which gives...
