Descripción
We observed the new X-ray transient, MAXI J0556-332 (ATel #3102, #3103, #3104, #3106, #3110, #3112) with the Faulkes Telescope South on 17 and 18 January 2011 (MJD 55578.4 and 55579.5). On each date, three 200-sec exposures were taken; one each in Bessel V, R, and I bands, totalling six images. The suggested optical counterpart (ATel #3103) was confirmed (ATel #3104) by a brightening and the detection of hydrogen and helium emission lines in its spectra.

    Metal-poor ultracool dwarfs in the Euclid era
    Metal-poor ultracool dwarfs (ultracool subdwarfs, including very-low-mass stars and brown dwarfs) are tracers of the pristine chemical composition at early phases in the assembly of the Milky Way. They are poorly understood because they are extremely faint and rare. Our aims are to improve the knowledge of ultracool subdwarf candidates, to break

    Close visual binaries among planetary-mass objects in star-forming regions: the HST view
    Over the past decade, microlensing surveys in field stars and the Gaia-informed census of nearby star-forming regions have convincingly demonsrated the presence of a significant population of free-floating planetary-mass objects. The origin of these objects is still debated, with the main plausible scenarios being: the dynamical ejection from a

    Multi-epoch precise photometry from the ground: MUDEHaR, magnetic O stars and everything around
    MUDEHaR has completed its first of five years of project, and all the information is already available for exploitation. MUDEHaR is a multi-epoch photometric survey with two narrow filters in Hα and the calcium triplet window that uses T80Cam at the JAST80 telescope at Javalambre spanish astronomical observatory. It is obtaining ~50 epochs/year per
