We present a comparison of the lithium abundances of stars with and without planetary-mass companions. New lithium abundances are reported in 79 planet hosts...
Lithium in the globular cluster NGC 6397. Evidence for dependence on evolutionary status
Context: Most globular clusters are believed to host a single stellar population. They can thus be considered a good place to study the Spite plateau and to...
Lithium in the Hyades L5 brown dwarf 2MASS J04183483+2131275
Aims: From the luminosity, effective temperature and age of the Hyades brown dwarf 2MASS J04183483+2131275 (2M0418), substellar evolutionary models predict a...
Lithium in the pre-main sequence triple system UX Tauri
High-resolution spectra (range 655-675 nm) are presented of the pre-main sequence triple system UX Tau. Favorable seeing conditions allowed detection of the...
LITTLE THINGS in 3D: robust determination of the circular velocity of dwarf irregular galaxies
Dwarf irregular galaxies (dIrrs) are the smallest stellar systems with extended H i discs. The study of the kinematics of such discs is a powerful tool to...
Liverpool telescope 2: a new robotic facility for rapid transient follow-up
The Liverpool Telescope is one of the world's premier facilities for time domain astronomy. The time domain landscape is set to radically change in the coming...
Local and Global Gas Metallicity versus Stellar Age Relation in MaNGA Galaxies
The search for new global scaling relations linking the physical properties of galaxies has a fundamental interest. Furthermore, their recovery from spatially...
Local anticorrelation between star formation rate and gas-phase metallicity in disc galaxies
Using a representative sample of 14 star-forming dwarf galaxies in the local Universe, we show the existence of a spaxel-to-spaxel anticorrelation between the...
Local approximations to non-linear evolution of density fluctuations
The way in which the evaluation of any moment of the mass distribution, as given by the Zeldovich (1970) approximation, may be reduced to the computation of an...
