    An equatorial ultra iron-poor star identified in BOSS
    We report the discovery of SDSS J131326.89-001941.4, an ultra iron-poor red giant star ([Fe/H] ≃ -4.3) with a very high carbon abundance ([C/Fe] ≃ +2.5). This...

    An extension of Herschel's method for dense and extensive catalogues. Application to the determination of solar motion
    We present a way of handling and interpreting stellar proper motions, in which the idea of substituting them by great circles, proposed by Herschel in 1783...

    An extremely wide and very low-mass pair with common proper motion. Is it representative of a nearby halo stream?
    Aims: We describe the discovery of an extremely wide pair of low-mass stars with a common large proper motion and discuss their possible membership in a...
