We present Johnson B surface photometry for the UCM Survey galaxies. One-dimensional bulge-disk decomposition is attempted, discussing on fitting functions and computational procedures. The results from this decomposition, jointly with concentration indices and an asymmetry coefficient, are employed to study the morphological properties of these

We identify a set of 18 solar analogs among the seismic sample of solar-like stars observed by the Kepler satellite rotating between 10 and 40 days. This set is constructed using the asteroseismic stellar properties derived using either the global oscillation properties or the individual acoustic frequencies. We measure the magnetic activity

The aim of this study is to determine the physical parameters of the binary V1430 Aql from the study of light curves obtained in different filters V, R, I, J and K using the code BINAROCHE, radial velocity curves published by Popper (2000) and analysis of spectra covering the range 3000 A to 9000 A. The results indicate that the spectral types of

Convex shape models and spin vectors of asteroids are now routinely derived from their disk-integrated lightcurves by the lightcurve inversion method of Kaasalainen et al. (2001, Icarus 153, 37). These shape models can be then used in combination with thermal infrared data and a thermophysical model to derive other physical parameters - size

Astrometric observations of binary brown dwarfs yield dynamical masses of the components independently of theoretical models. We give an update on our long-term high-resolution spectroscopic and photometric monitoring programme of spatially resolved binary brown dwarfs using ground-based adaptive optics and the Hubble Space Telescope. We present
