    The possible connection between ionization in the atmosphere by cosmic rays and low level clouds
    Recent analysis of monthly mean cloud data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project uncovered a strong correlation between low cloud and the cosmic ray flux for extensive regions of the Earth. Additional data have been recently released covering the period up to September 2001 with which we have made a new study of the

    The Pristine survey - III. Spectroscopic confirmation of an efficient search for extremely metal-poor stars
    The Pristine survey is a narrow-band, photometric survey focused around the wavelength region of the Ca II H&K absorption lines, designed to efficiently search for extremely metal-poor stars. In this work, we use the first results of a medium-resolution spectroscopic follow-up to refine the selection criteria for finding extremely metal-poor stars

    The prompt emission and peculiar break of GRB 060124
    Our multi-wavelength analysis of GRB 060124 shows the unusual behaviour of the decaying lightcurve as well as supporting the recently proposed phenomenon of long-lasting central engine activity. The prompt X-ray emission displays uncommonly well resolved flaring behaviour, with spectral evolution - indicative of central engine activity - which

    The Properties of Satellite Galaxies in External Systems. II. Photometry and Colors
    In this second paper dedicated to the study of satellite galaxies we present broadband photometry in the B, V, R, and I filters of 49 satellite galaxies orbiting giant isolated spiral galaxies. First analysis of the properties of these objects are presented by means of color-color and color-magnitude diagrams for early- and late-type satellites

    The properties of the stellar populations in ULIRGs - I. Sample, data and spectral synthesis modelling
    We present deep long-slit optical spectra for a sample of 36 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs), taken with the William Herschel Telescope on La Palma with the aim of investigating the star formation histories and testing evolutionary scenarios for such objects. Here we present the sample, the analysis techniques and a general overview of the

    The radial velocity dispersion profile of the Galactic halo: constraining the density profile of the dark halo of the Milky Way
    We have compiled a new sample of 240 halo objects with accurate distance and radial velocity measurements, including globular clusters, satellite galaxies, field blue horizontal branch (FHB) stars and red giant stars from the Spaghetti survey. The new data lead to a significant increase in the number of known objects for Galactocentric radii beyond
