Observations of quiescent filaments show very fine structures which suggests that they can be composed of small-scale threads or fibrils. Two-dimensional, high-resolution observations point out that individual fibrils or groups of fibrils may oscillate independently with their own periods. In this paper, we study the fast magnetohydrodynamic modes

We analyze time series of Strombolian volcanic tremor recorded with a network of broadband seismic stations. We evidence the occurrence of a significant component of volcanic tremor in the range [0.2-0.5] Hz by using linear and nonlinear methods. The polarization and ZLCC analysis show that the wave field is characterized by high apparent velocity

We present echelle spectrophotometry of the Galactic HII region S 311. The data have been taken with the Very Large Telescope Ultraviolet-Visual Echelle Spectrograph in the 3100-10400 Årange. We have measured the intensities of 263 emission lines; 178 are permitted lines of H0, D0 (deuterium), He0, C0, C+, N0, N+, O0, O+, S+, Si0, Si+, Ar0 and Fe0

The BL Lac object 3C 66A was the target of an extensive multiwavelength monitoring campaign from 2003 July through 2004 April (with a core campaign from 2003 September to 2003 December) involving observations throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. Radio, infrared, and optical observations were carried out by the WEBT-ENIGMA collaboration. At

Using a high-resolution spectrum of the secondary star in the neutron star binary Cen X-4, we have derived the stellar parameters and veiling caused by the accretion disk in a consistent way. We have used a χ2 minimization procedure to explore a grid of 1,500,000 LTE synthetic spectra computed for a plausible range of both stellar and veiling

We consider the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) of type III which leads to Flavour Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) at tree level. In the framework of this model we calculate the NLO contribution for b->s gamma and the branchings for the meson decays B^+ -> l^+ u. We examine the limits on the new parameters lambda_{bb} and M_{H^pm}. We take into
