The throughput calibration of the VERITAS telescopes
Context. The response of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes to incident γ-ray-initiated showers in the atmosphere changes as the telescopes age due to...
The tidal deformation and atmosphere of WASP-12 b from its phase curve★
Context. Ultra-hot Jupiters present a unique opportunity to understand the physics and chemistry of planets, their atmospheres, and interiors at extreme...
The tidally disturbed luminous compact blue galaxy Mkn 1087 and its surroundings
We present new broad-band optical and near-infrared CCD imaging together with deep optical intermediate-resolution spectroscopy of Mkn 1087 and its surrounding...
The Tilt of the Fundamental Plane: Three-Quarters Structural Nonhomology, One-Quarter Stellar Population
The variation of the mass-to-light M/L ratios of early-type galaxies as a function of their luminosities L is investigated. It is shown that the tilt β=0.27 (in...
The tilted old Galactic disc and the position of the Sun
With the use of data from COBE, IRAS and the Two-micron Galactic Survey (TMGS), we examine the effect on star counts and surface brightness maps of the position...
The TOI-763 system: sub-Neptunes orbiting a Sun-like star
We report the discovery of a planetary system orbiting TOI-763(aka CD-39 7945), a V = 10.2, high proper motion G-type dwarf star that was photometrically...
The trace of a substantial assembly of massive E-S0 galaxies at 0.8 < z < 1.5 in galaxy number counts
K-band galaxy number counts (GNCs) exhibit a slope change at K ˜ 17.5 mag not present in optical bands. To unveil the nature of this feature, we have derived...
The Trace of the CNO Cycle in the Ring Nebula NGC 6888
We present new results on the chemical composition of the Galactic ring nebula NGC 6888 surrounding the WN6(h) star WR136. The data are based on deep...
The trans-Neptunian object size distribution at small sizes
Aims: The aim of this work is to estimate the size distribution of small Trans-Neptunian objects. Methods: We simulate the irradiation and collisional processes...
