A generalization of the Theoretical Spectral Access Protocol (TSAP) standard called Simple Self-described Service Protocol (S3P) has been used to search and access stellar model data. In particular, a Web server has been implemented that searches for synthetic isochrones and tracks computed using the FRANEC code and stored inside the BaSTI (a Bag

The recently reported microlensing events of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have caused much excitement, and have been interpreted as due to 'dark objects' called massively compact halo objects (MACHOs) in the halo of our Galaxy. It is shown here that stars within the LMC play a dominant role as gravitational lenses and can indeed account for the

Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera imaging provides an opportunity to study all known morphological types of galaxies in the mid-IR at a depth significantly better than ground-based near-infrared and optical images. The goal of this study is to examine the imprint of the de Vaucouleurs classification volume in the 3.6 μm band, which is

The direct detection of extrasolar planets is the only technique that leads to the most complete characterization of their physical properties. Here, we report on mid-IR observations of five directly imaged substellar companions (DF Tau B, FU Tau B, κ And b, GJ 758 B, and GJ 504 b) obtained with the Si-2 filter (8.7 µm) in the CanariCam instrument

The goals of the S4G project are described by Sheth et al. (2010, submitted). (1 data file).
