Stellar models with rotation: an exploratory application to pre-main sequence Lithium Depletion.
Over the last 20 years, the surface abundance of Li has been derived for a significant number of low mass pre-main sequence (PMS) stars. Several works have...
Stellar occultation by (119951) 2002 KX14 on April 26, 2012
Context. Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are important bodies, but very little is known about their basic physical properties such as size, density, and albedo...
Stellar p-mode oscillations signal in Procyon A from MOST data
Recently, Matthews et al. (2004, Nature, 430, 51) claim a null detection of p-mode oscillations in Procyon A from 32 days of nearly continuous photometric...
Stellar p-modes oscillation measurements in solar-like star signals: α Centauri A as an example
Context: This paper deals with the analysis of observational data series of solar-like stars. In dealing with observations of solar-like stellar oscillations...
Stellar parameters of early-M dwarfs from ratios of spectral features at optical wavelengths
Context. Low-mass stars have been recognised as promising targets in the search for rocky, small planets with the potential of supporting life. As a consequence...
Context. Among the myriad of data collected by the ESA Gaia satellite, about 150 million spectra will be delivered by the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) for...
Context. NGC 404 is a nearly face-on, nearby low-luminosity lenticular galaxy. Probing its characteristics provides a wealth of information on the details of...
Stellar population gradients in galaxy discs from the CALIFA survey. The influence of bars
While studies of gas-phase metallicity gradients in disc galaxies are common, very little has been done towards the acquisition of stellar abundance gradients...
