Rotation periods and photometric variability of rapidly rotating ultracool dwarfs
We used the optical and near-infrared imagers located on the Liverpool, the IAC80, and the William Herschel telescopes to monitor 18 M7-L9.5 dwarfs with the...
Rotation periods of late-type dwarf stars from time series high-resolution spectroscopy of chromospheric indicators
We determine rotation periods of a sample of 48 late F-type to mid-M dwarf stars using time series high-resolution spectroscopy of the Ca II H&K and H α...
Rotation rates, sizes and star formation efficiencies of a representative population of simulated disc galaxies
We examine the rotation rates, sizes and star formation (SF) efficiencies of a representative population of simulated disc galaxies extracted from the Galaxies...
Rotation velocities of hot horizontal branch stars in the globular clusters NGC 1904, NGC 2808, NGC 6093, and NGC 7078: The database
We present radial and rotation (v sin i) velocity measurements from UVES+VLT high resolution spectra of 61 stars in the blue horizontal branches (HB) of the...
Rotational and Rotational-Vibrational Raman Spectroscopy of Air to Characterize Astronomical Spectrographs
Raman scattering enables unforeseen uses for the laser guide-star system of the Very Large Telescope. Here, we present the observation of one up-link sodium...
Rotational broadening and Doppler tomography of the quiescent X-ray nova Centaurus X-4
We present high- and intermediate-resolution spectroscopy of the X-ray nova Centaurus X-4 during its quiescent phase. Our analysis of the absorption features...
Rotational effects on the negative magnetic pressure instability
Context. The surface layers of the Sun are strongly stratified. In the presence of turbulence with a weak mean magnetic field, a large-scale instability...
Rotational fission of trans-Neptunian objects: the case of Haumea
We present several lines of evidence, based on different kinds of observations, and we conclude that it is likely that rotational fission has occurred for a...
