The system SBS 0909+532A, B is a double consisting of a quasar and a fainter component that was, until now, spectroscopically unresolved. Spectra taken in good seeing conditions ( {FWHM}=1^{''} ) with the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope separate the A and B components, showing that both are quasars with the same redshift, z=1.377 , and identical

We present the results of a wide-field survey for extremely red objects (EROs), based on J and R band imaging. The survey covers 2.89 deg2, consisting of 50 single fields, each approximately 210 arcmin2 in size. This survey provides a sample of 60 extended objects with a colour of R-J ≥ 5 and J band magnitudes more than 10σ above background (18^mag

The interpretation of detailed spectroscopic observations of different stars reveals inconsistencies, due likely to inadequacies of the underlying hypothesis. The high accuracy of the parallaxes measured by the Hipparcos satellite established a firm reference frame that is used here to test theoretical classical model atmospheres for cool stars

We present a virtual substrate for high quality InAs epitaxial layer, obtained via metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy growth of Sb-assisted InxGa1-xAs metamorphic buffers, following a convex compositional continuous gradient of the In content from x = 53 % to 100 %. The use of Trimethylantimony (or its decomposition products) as a surfactant was

Surges often appear as a result of the emergence of magnetized plasma from the solar interior. Traditionally, they are observed in chromospheric lines such as Hα 6563 \mathringA and Ca II 8542 \mathringA . However, whether there is a response to the surge appearance and evolution in the Si IV lines or, in fact, in many other transition region lines
