    A Sounding Rocket Experiment for Spectropolarimetric Observations with the Lyα Line at 121.6 nm (CLASP)
    A team consisting of Japan, USA, Spain, and Norway is developing a high-throughput Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha SpectroPolarimeter (CLASP), which is proposed to fly with a NASA sounding rocket in 2014. CLASP will explore the magnetism of the upper solar chromosphere and transition region via the Hanle effect of the Lyα line for the first time. This

    VLT-VIMOS integral field spectroscopy of luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies. III. The atlas of the stellar and ionized gas distribution
    Context. Luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs) are much more numerous at higher redshifts than locally, dominating the star-formation rate density at redshifts ~1-2. Therefore, they are important objects in order to understand how galaxies form and evolve through cosmic time. Local samples provide a unique opportunity to

    The Thick Disk in the Galaxy NGC 4244 from S4G Imaging
    If thick disks are ubiquitous and a natural product of disk galaxy formation and/or evolution processes, all undisturbed galaxies that have evolved during a significant fraction of a Hubble time should have a thick disk. The late-type spiral galaxy NGC 4244 has been reported as the only nearby edge-on galaxy without a confirmed thick disk. Using

    The Structure of the Accretion Disk in the Lensed Quasar SBS 0909+532
    We derive the size and temperature profile of the accretion disk of the lensed quasar SBS 0909+532 by measuring the wavelength dependence (chromaticity) of the microlensing magnification produced by the stars in the lens galaxy. After correcting for extinction using the flux ratios of 14 emission lines, we observe a marked change in the B-A flux

    The SEGUE Stellar Parameter Pipeline. V. Estimation of Alpha-element Abundance Ratios from Low-resolution SDSS/SEGUE Stellar Spectra
    We present a method for the determination of [α/Fe] ratios from low-resolution (R = 2000) SDSS/SEGUE stellar spectra. By means of a star-by-star comparison with degraded spectra from the ELODIE spectral library and with a set of moderately high-resolution (R = 15, 000) and medium-resolution (R = 6000) spectra of SDSS/SEGUE stars, we demonstrate

    The Pennsylvania--Toruń Planet Search: Target Characteristics and Recent Results
    More than 450 stars hosting planets are known today but only approximately 30 planetary systems were discovered around stars beyond the Main Sequence. The Pennsylvania-Toruń Planet Search, putting an emphasis on extending studies of planetary system formation and evolution to intermediate-mass stars, is oriented towards the discoveries of
