Various radial velocity surveys have now produced a number of candidates Very Low Mass Stars, Brown Dwarfs and Giant Extrasolar Planets to nearby G, K and M...

Near-infrared JHKL photometry of more than 200 stars in the open clusters Tr 14, Tr 15, Tr 16, Cr 228, and Cr 232 in the Carina Nebula is presented. By...

At least 60% of stars appear to be binary and about half of these are close enough to interact. Because of the enormous expansion on the AGB, many of these...

Solar magnetic fields are usually extrapolated into the corona starting from photospheric mag-netic measurements that can suffer from significant uncertainties...

Observations from massive stars in H II regions can help to clarify theories of massive star formation because they show the degree of isolation under which...

The influence on the fusion process of coupling to collective degrees of freedom has been explored. The significant enhancement of he fusion cross setion at sub...

At the First International Conference on Comet Hale-Bopp (Canaries, 1998) many astronomers agreed with the value of the period of axial rotation of its nucleus...
