Aims: We pose the question of how much information on the atmospheric parameters of late-type stars can be retrieved purely from color information using...

We have discovered a luminous light echo around the normal Type II-Plateau Supernova (SN) 2012aw in Messier 95 (M95; NGC 3351), detected in images obtained...

Context. We map the interstellar medium (ISM) including the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in absorption toward the globular cluster NGC 6397 using VLT/MUSE...

The standard method of mapping the interstellar medium in a galaxy, by observing the molecular gas in the CO 1-0 line and the atomic gas in the 21-cm line, is...

We map the distribution and properties of the Milky Way's interstellar medium as traced by diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) detected in near-infrared stellar...

We study the extinction properties of dust in the well-defined dust lanes of four highly inclined galaxies using U-, B-, V-, R- and I-band CCD and J- and K'...

We investigated the infrared (IR) dust emission from PN IC 418, using a detailed model controlled by a previous determination of the stellar properties and the...

We construct a detailed model for the IR dust emission from the PN IC 418. We succeed to reproduce the emission from 2 to 200 μm. We can determine the amount of...

CO observations allow estimation of the gas content of molecular clouds, which trace the reservoir of cold gas fuelling star formation, as well as determination...
