Context. The sample of hot Jupiters that have been studied in great detail is still growing. In particular, when the planet transits its host star, it is...
A photometric study of the light variations of the triple system DG Leo
Multi-site and multi-year differential photometry of the triple star DG Leo reveals a complex frequency spectrum that can be modelled as the combination of at...
A Photometric Study of the Outer Halo Globular Cluster NGC 5824
Multi-wavelength CCD photometry over 21 years has been used to produce deep color–magnitude diagrams (CMDs) together with light curves for the variables in the...
A physically motivated definition for the size of galaxies in an era of ultradeep imaging
Present-day multiwavelength deep imaging surveys allow to characterize the outskirts of galaxies with unprecedented precision. Taking advantage of this...
We have carried out a pilot study for the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array 2 (SCUBA-2) ‘All-Sky’ Survey (SASSy), a wide and shallow mapping project at...
A plague of magnetic spots among the hot stars of globular clusters
For more than six decades, the quest to understand the formation of hot (about 20,000-30,000 K) extreme horizontal branch (EHB) stars in Galactic globular...
A Planet in a 0.6 AU Orbit Around the K0 Giant HD 102272
We report the discovery of one or more planet-mass companions to the K0-giant HD 102272 with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. In the absence of any correlation of...
A planet within the debris disk around the pre-main-sequence star AU Microscopii
AU Microscopii (AU Mic) is the second closest pre-main-sequence star, at a distance of 9.79 parsecs and with an age of 22 million years 1. AU Mic possesses a...
A Planetary Microlensing Event with an Unusually Red Source Star: MOA-2011-BLG-291
We present the analysis of the planetary microlensing event MOA-2011-BLG-291, which has a mass ratio of q = (3.8 ± 0.7) × 10‑4 and a source star that is redder...
