KIC 8677585 is a roAp star in the Kepler field which is unique in that there are four low-frequency variations of unknown origin in addition to more than 20...
The Unusual Vertical Mass Distribution of NGC 4013 Seen through the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G)
NGC 4013 is a nearby Sb edge-on galaxy known for its "prodigious" H I warp and its "giant" tidal stream. Previous work on this unusual object shows that it...
The updated BASTI stellar evolution models and isochrones - III. White dwarfs
We present new cooling models for carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (WDs) with both H- and He-atmospheres, covering the whole relevant mass range, to extend our...
The updated BaSTI stellar evolution models and isochrones - IV. α-Depleted calculations
This is the fourth paper of our new release of the BaSTI (a Bag of Stellar Tracks and Isochrones) stellar model and isochrone library. Following the updated...
The Updated BaSTI Stellar Evolution Models and Isochrones. I. Solar-scaled Calculations
We present an updated release of the BaSTI (a Bag of Stellar Tracks and Isochrones) stellar model and isochrone library for a solar-scaled heavy element...
The MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes underwent a major upgrade in 2011 and 2012. A new 1039-pixel camera and a larger area digital trigger system were installed in...
The use of iteration factors for temperature correction in a stellar atmosphere when convective transport is present
In a previous work (Paper I of this series), we presented a procedure for computing the temperature distribution in a stellar atmosphere under the constraint of...
The Use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy to Reclassify HR:8881
We demonstrate that near-infrared CVF spectrometry can be used to determine accurately the spectral type and luminosity class of K- and M-type stars. As an...
Aims:We introduce analytical response functions and their main properties as an important diagnostic tool that help understand Stokes profile formation physics...
