We report the detection of a type I X-ray burst with burst oscillations during an RXTE-PCA observation of the recently discovered accreting millisecond pulsar (AMP) IGR J17498-2921 (ATels #3551, #3555, #3556, #3558, #3559, #3560, #3561, #3562, #3563). The burst intensity peaked on 2011-08-16 at 15:21:45 UTC. We find a rise time of ~0.4s (time span

Optical imaging of RX J105453.3+552102 was carried out at the 2.5m NOT telescope in March 2008. Optical deep images were used for studying the properties of the brightest group galaxy and for computing the photometric luminosity function of the group. We have also performed a detail dynamical analysis of the system based on redshift data for 116

Deep far-infrared photometric surveys studying galaxy evolution and the nature of the cosmic infrared background are a key strength of the Herschel mission. We describe the scientific motivation for the PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP) guaranteed time key program and its role within the entire set of Herschel surveys, and the field selection that

Line intensity ratio has been used in astronomy to calculate plasma density and temperature. This procedure is applied to monitor thin film growth in plasma-assisted deposition, it provides very useful information such as density and temperature of the plasma. The propose of this study is monitor variations of the plasma during deposition, using

We introduce a new parameter Δξ-the difference in magnitude between the red giant branch (RGB) bump and the point on the main sequence (MS) at the same color as the bump (which we call the "benchmark")-to estimate the helium content in old stellar systems. The Δξ parameter is a helium indicator, since an increase in helium makes, at fixed age and
