Searching for the secondary eclipse of CoRoT-Exo-2b and its transit timing variations
With more than 80 transits observed in the CoRoT lightcurve with a cadence of 32 s, CoRoT-Exo-2b provides an excellent case to search for the secondary eclipse...
Searching for the Signatures of Jet-ISM Interactions in X-ray Binaries
Jets from X-ray binaries are continuously injecting matter and energy into the surrounding interstellar medium. However, there exist to date relatively few...
Searching for the Signatures of Terrestrial Planets in ``Hot'' Analogs
The Sun has been suggested to have a slightly low refractory-to-volatile abundance ratio when compared with field solar twins. This result may be interpreted as...
Searching for Tidal Remnants in the Milky Way: Photometric Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters
It has been suggested that the outer young Galactic halo globular cluster population might be associated (or even the nuclei) to tidal disrupted dwarf...
Searching for Tidal Remnants in the Milky Way: Photometric Survey of Globular Clusters
The picture of building the Milky Way halo from the merger of protogalactic fragments is considered the local manifestation of the hierarchical galaxy formation...
Searching for Tidal Tails in Galactic Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
The formation of the Galactic halo is currently best explained by the combination of two scenarios which previously were regarded as competing models. Based on...
Searching for tidal tails in Galactic dwarf spheroidal satellites
We present preliminary results of a long-term project to investigate the process of accretion and tidal disruption of dSph satellites in the Galactic halo and...
