One of the objectives of the CoRoT mission is the search for transiting extrasolar planets using high-precision photometry, and the accurate characterization of...
Correcting Exoplanet Transmission Spectra for Stellar Activity with an Optimized Retrieval Framework
The chromatic contamination that arises from photospheric heterogeneities, e.g., spots and faculae on the host star presents a significant noise source for...
Correcting the effect of stellar spots on ARIEL transmission spectra - II. The limb-darkening effect
This paper is part of an effort to correct the transmission spectra of a transiting planet orbiting an active star. In Paper I (Cracchiolo, Micela & Peres 2020)...
Correcting the spectroscopic surface gravity using transits and asteroseismology. No significant effect on temperatures or metallicities with ARES and MOOG in local thermodynamic equilibrium
Context. Precise stellar parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity, stellar mass, and radius) are crucial for several reasons, amongst...
Correction of the dome seeing contribution from generalized-SCIDAR data using evenness properties with Fourier analysis
Generalized-Scintillation Detection and Ranging (g-SCIDAR) has proven to be the most reliable and efficient technique for obtaining the vertical structure of...
Correlated optical/X-ray long-term variability in LMXB 4U 1636-536
We have conducted a 3-month programme of simultaneous optical, soft and hard X-ray monitoring of the LMXB 4U 1636-536/V801 Ara using the SMARTS 1.3-m telescope...
Correlated optical/X-ray variability in the high-mass X-ray binary SAX J2103.5+4545
SAX J2103.5+4545 is the Be/X-ray binary (BeX) with the shortest orbital period. It shows extended bright and faint X-ray states that last for a few hundred days...
Correlated X-Ray and Optical Variability in V404 Cygni in Quiescence
We report simultaneous X-ray and optical observations of V404 Cyg in quiescence. The X-ray flux varied dramatically by a factor of >~20 during a 60 ks...
