    Could very low-metallicity stars with rotation-dominated orbits have been driven by the bar?
    The most metal-poor stars (e.g., [Fe/H] ≤ –2.5) are the ancient fossils from the early assembly epoch of our Galaxy. They very likely formed before the the...

    Counting stars from the integrated spectra of galaxies
    Over the last few decades, evolutionary population synthesis models have powered an unmatched leap forward in our understanding of galaxies. From dating the age...

    Coupling of fast and Alfvén waves in a straight bounded magnetic field with density stratification
    The theoretical understanding of the linear standing or propagating magnetohydrodynamic waves in a variety of solar coronal structures is far from complete...

    COYOTES II: SPOT properties and the origin of photometric period variations in T Tauri stars.
    We present the results of a new multi-site campaign (COYOTES II) to monitor the light variations of T Tauri stars (TTS) of the Taurus-Auriga dark cloud. The...

    COYOTES III: observational evidence for a lower limit to the rotational velocity of ZAMS G and K dwarfs.
    In order to provide additional constraints to current models of angular momentum evolution of solar-type stars, we have conducted a period-determination program...

    COYOTES IV: the rotational periods of low-mass Post-T Tauri stars in Taurus.
    We monitored the light variations of 58 weak-line T Tauri stars in Taurus, recently discovered in the X-ray wavelength range during the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. We...

    Coyotes-I - the Photometric Variability and Rotational Evolution of T-Tauri Stars
    In a multi-site photometric campaign to monitor T Tauri stars (TTS) in the Taurus-Auriga cloud over more than two months - dubbed Coordinated Observations of...

    Crucial aspects of the initial mass function. I. The statistical correlation between the total mass of an ensemble of stars and its most massive star
    Context. Our understanding of stellar systems depends on the adopted interpretation of the initial mass function, IMF φ(m). Unfortunately, there is not a common...

    Crucial aspects of the initial mass function. II. The inference of total quantities from partial information on a cluster
    Context. In a probabilistic framework of the interpretation of the initial mass function (IMF), the IMF cannot be arbitrarily normalized to the total mass, ℳ...
