Context. The CoRoT mission was the first dedicated to the search for exoplanets from space. The CoRoT exoplanet channel observed about 163 600 targets to detect...
Stellar content, planetary nebulae, and globular clusters of [KKS2000]04 (NGC 1052-DF2)
[KKS2000]04 (NGC 1052-DF2) has become a controversial and well-studied galaxy after the claims suggesting a lack of dark matter and the presence of an...
Stellar mass is not the best predictor of galaxy metallicity. The gravitational potential-metallicity relation ΦZR
Context. Interpreting the scaling relations followed by galaxies is a fundamental tool for assessing how well we understand galaxy formation and evolution...
Stellar metallicity gradients of Local Group dwarf galaxies
Aims: We explore correlations between the strength of metallicity gradients in Local Group dwarf galaxies and their stellar mass, star formation history...
Stellar Observations Network Group: The prototype is nearly ready
The prototype telescope and instruments for the Stellar Observations Network Group (SONG) are nearing completion at the Observatorio del Teide on Tenerife. In...
Stellar occultation by (119951) 2002 KX14 on April 26, 2012
Context. Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are important bodies, but very little is known about their basic physical properties such as size, density, and albedo...
Stellar parameters of early-M dwarfs from ratios of spectral features at optical wavelengths
Context. Low-mass stars have been recognised as promising targets in the search for rocky, small planets with the potential of supporting life. As a consequence...
Context. NGC 404 is a nearly face-on, nearby low-luminosity lenticular galaxy. Probing its characteristics provides a wealth of information on the details of...
