We discuss methods and preliminary results in a search for variable stars in the Carina dSph galaxy. This galaxy presents a complex star formation history and...

The MAGIC collaboration has searched for high-energy gamma-ray emission of some of the most promising pulsar candidates above an energy threshold of 50 GeV, an...

The typical detection rate of ~1 gamma-ray burst (GRB) per day by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) provides a valuable opportunity to further our...

We have tested Very Small Array (VSA) observations of three regions of sky for the presence of non-Gaussianity, using high-order cumulants, Minkowski...

Aims: Already from the initial discoveries of extrasolar planets it was apparent that their population and environments are far more diverse than initially...

Aims: The standard method of searching parameter space for transits is ill-suited to data sets with long time baselines and poor temporal coverage, such as that...

Aims: We aim to identify and characterize secondary eclipses in the original light curves of all published CoRoT planets using uniform detection and evaluation...

Context. The object HD 43587Aa is a G0V star observed during the 145-day LRa03 run of the COnvection, ROtation and planetary Transits space mission (CoRoT), for...

Context. The star HD 49385 is the first G-type solar-like pulsator observed in the seismology field of the space telescope CoRoT. The satellite collected 137...
