Asymmetric Planetary Nebulae (APN) are formed by bipolar outflows through various mechanism like fast rotation (Blackman et al. 2001), magnetic field (Regos &...
Low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in Praesepe (Baker+, 2010)
Presented are the results of a large and deep optical-near-infrared multi-epoch survey of the Praesepe open star cluster using data from the UKIRT Infrared Deep...
The double distance and metallicity frontier marked by the SMC has been finally broken with the aid of powerful multi-object spectrographs installed at 8-10m...
LOWL p-mode frequencies and their variation with solar activity
We present an analysis of the frequency shift and the even terms of the frequency splitting coefficients carried out using six years of LOWL data, starting in...
Lucky imaging and adaptive optics on 10-m class telescopes: a real promise for diffraction limited imaging in the visible?
Traditionally thought as alternatives of each other, it has not been until very recently when Adaptive Optics (AO) and lucky imaging (LI) have been put to work...
Luminosity Functions of Evolved Populations in Galactic Globular Clusters
We propose to complete the observations for a project to produce definitive Color-Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs) for a carefully chosen sample of galactic globular...
