The black hole candidate and microquasar H1743-322 (aka IGR J17464-3213) has entered a new outburst (ATel #3263). In addition to the Galactic Bulge Monitoring (Kuulkers et al., 2007 A&A, 466,595) observations, the source was also in the field of view of IBIS/ISGRI (20-500 keV) during the INTEGRAL observations of the inner Galactic disc. The latter

We present the first study of the far-infrared (FIR) properties of high-redshift, radio-selected ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) using deep observations obtained with the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) from the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES). These galaxies span a large range of 850-um fluxes from

We study the spectral energy distribution (SED) and the power spectrum of Galactic cirrus emission observed in the 14 deg2 Science Demonstration Phase field of the Herschel-ATLAS using Herschel and IRAS data from 100 to 500 μm. We compare the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) 250, 350 and 500 μm maps with IRAS 100-μm emission

Hierarchical triple systems comprise a close binary and a more distant component. They are important for testing theories of star formation and of stellar evolution in the presence of nearby companions. We obtained 218 days of Kepler photometry of HD 181068 (magnitude of 7.1), supplemented by ground-based spectroscopy and interferometry, which show

Galaxy groups are not scaled down versions of massive galaxy clusters - the hot gas in groups [known as the intragroup medium (IGrM)] is, on average, less dense than the intracluster medium, implying that one or more non-gravitational processes (e.g. radiative cooling, star formation and/or feedback) has had a relatively larger effect on groups.
