Two-dimensional high spatial resoultion Fabry-Perot observations with TAURUS 2 at the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma, over the inner central regions of...
On the temperature and velocity through the photosphere of a sunspot penumbra
We investigate the structure in depth of a sunspot penumbra by means of the inversion code of the radiative transfer equation proposed by Ruiz Cobo & del Toro...
On the theory of MAG waves and a comparison with sunspot observations from CDS/SoHO
We examine the influence of non-adiabatic effects on the modes of an isothermal stratified magnetic atmosphere. We present new solutions for magneto-acoustic...
On the Triple Nature of the Cataclysmic Variable VY Sculptoris
The study of the Balmer radial velocity curve of the cataclysmic variable (CV) VY Scl has revealed a new value for the orbital period (0.232 days), which...
On the triple-star origin of the planetary nebula Sh 2-71
Recent studies have indicated that triple-star systems may play a role in the formation of an appreciable number of planetary nebulae, however, only one triple...
On the ultra-compact nature of the neutron star system 1RXS J170854.4-321857: insights from X-ray spectroscopy
The relatively small family of ultra-compact X-ray binary systems is of great interest for many areas of astrophysics. We report on a detailed X-ray spectral...
We report the discovery of a periodic modulation in the optical lightcurve of the candidate ultracompact X-ray binary 4U1822-000. Using time-resolved optical...
On the use of field RR Lyrae as galactic probes - VI. Mixed mode RR Lyrae variables in Fornax and in nearby dwarf galaxies
We investigate the properties of the mixed-mode (RRd) RR Lyrae (RRL) variables in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy by using B- and V-band time series...
On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. I. The Oosterhoff Dichotomy Based on Fundamental Variables
We collected a large data set of field RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) by using catalogs already available in the literature and Gaia DR2. We estimated the iron...
