    A non-axisymmetric potential for the Milky Way disk
    We provide a purely dynamical global map of the non-axisymmetric structure of the Milky Way disk. For this, we exploited the information contained within the in...

    A novel framework for semi-Bayesian radial velocities through template matching
    Context. The ability to detect and characterise an increasing variety of exoplanets has been made possible by the continuous development of stable, high...

    A numerical approach for modelling the polarisation signals of strong resonance lines with partial frequency redistribution: Applications to two-term atoms and plane-parallel atmospheres
    Aims. The main goal of this paper is to present an accurate and efficient numerical strategy for solving the radiative transfer problem for polarised radiation...

    A PCA approach to stellar effective temperatures
    Context. The derivation of the effective temperature of a star is a critical first step in a detailed spectroscopic analysis. Spectroscopic methods suffer from...

    A peculiar Of star in the Local Group galaxy IC 1613
    Context. Results from the theory of radiatively driven winds are nowadays incorporated in stellar evolutionary and population synthesis models, and are used in...

    A photometric catalogue of southern emission-line stars
    We present a catalogue of previously unpublished optical and infrared photometry for a sample of 162 emission-line objects and shell stars visible from the...

    A photometric monitoring of bright high-amplitude delta Scuti stars. II. Period updates for seven stars
    We present new photometric data for seven high-amplitude delta Scuti stars. The observations were acquired between 1996 and 2002, mostly in the Johnson...

    A photometric monitoring of bright high-amplitude delta Scuti stars. I. The double-mode pulsation of V567 Ophiuchi
    We present the first results of an observational project, which addresses the period changing behaviour of a sample of high-amplitude delta Scuti stars. In this...

    A photometric redshift of z = 1.8{+0.4}{-0.3} for the AGILE GRB 080514B
    The AGILE gamma-ray burst GRB 080514B is the first detected to have emission above 30 MeV and an optical afterglow. However, no spectroscopic redshift for this...
