The authors present results of a search for wide companions to halo subdwarfs of known metallicity. They have taken CCD I-band frames in order to detect faint...
Wide FastCam: a wide field imaging camera for the TCS
The FastCam instrument, jointly developed by the IAC and the UPCT, allows, in real-time, acquisition, selection and storage of images with a resolution that...
Wide Field Observations of the Ursa Minor dSph Galaxy
Ursa Minor (UMi) is one of the closest satellites of the Milky Way (d=69 kpc). It is possibly a disrupted dSph interacting with the external Galactic halo. This...
Wide Field Optical Photometry of the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
We present optical photometry of the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal (dSph) Galaxy. Data have been collected with CCD mosaic cameras available at the 2.2m ESO/MPI and...
Wide Range Neutron Flux Measuring Channel for Aerospace Application
The use of classical techniques for neutron flux measurements in nuclear reactors involves the switching between several detection chains as the power grows up...
I present the status and the recent results of the QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) experiment. QUIJOTE is a project that operates from the Teide Observatory...
Widely separated binary systems of very low-mass stars
In this paper we review some recent detections of wide binary brown dwarf systems and discuss them in the context of the multiplicity properties of very low...
As long as the yellow hypergiant HR8752 has been observed spectroscopically it has shown erratic and significant fluctuations in its effective temperature. But...
Wind Accretion and State Transitions in the Black Hole Binary Cyg X-1
The black hole binary, Cyg X-1, is generally observed in one of two long duration X-ray states: a low flux, hard spectrum state (most common) and a high flux...
