    Astrometric and photometric initial mass functions from the UKIDSS Galactic Clusters Survey - III. Praesepe
    Over the past decades open clusters have been the subject of many studies. Such studies are crucial considering that the universality of the initial mass...

    Astrometric and photometric initial mass functions from the UKIDSS Galactic Clusters Survey - IV. Upper Sco
    We present the results of a proper motion wide-field near-infrared survey of the entire Upper Sco (USco) association (˜160 square degrees) released as part of...

    Astrometric orbits of spectral binary brown dwarfs - I. Massive T dwarf companions to 2M1059-21 and 2M0805+48
    Near-infrared spectroscopic surveys have uncovered a population of short-period, blended-light spectral binaries composed of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs...

    Astronomical site ranking based on tropospheric wind statistics
    High-altitude wind speeds have been adopted as a parameter for astronomical site selection based on the relationship found at the Paranal and Cerro Pachón sites...

    Astronomical site selection: on the use of satellite data for aerosol content monitoring
    The main goal of this work is to analyse new approaches to the study of the properties of astronomical sites. In particular, satellite data measuring aerosols...

    Asymmetrical tidal tails of open star clusters: stars crossing their cluster's práh<SUP>†</SUP> challenge Newtonian gravitation
    After their birth a significant fraction of all stars pass through the tidal threshold (práh) of their cluster of origin into the classical tidal tails. The...

    Asymptotic giant branch and super-asymptotic giant branch stars: modelling dust production at solar metallicity
    We present dust yields for asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and super-asymptotic giant branch (SAGB) stars of solar metallicity. Stars with initial mass 1.5 M⊙ ≤...

    Asymptotic giant branch stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud: evolution of dust in circumstellar envelopes
    We calculated theoretical evolutionary sequences of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, including the formation and evolution of dust grains in their...

    Atmospheric and seeing forecast: WRF model validation with in situ measurements at ORM
    We present a comparison between in situ measurements and forecasted data at the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos. Forecasting is obtained with the...
