New observations of V534 Tau were performed during the STEPHI IX campaign in November 1998. An overall run of 285 h of data has been collected from three sites over a period of 23 days. Period analysis reveals a rich oscillation spectrum with nine frequencies above the 99% confidence level. This oscillation spectrum spans a large range of

We present integral field spectroscopy of X2127+119, the luminous X-ray binary in the globular cluster M15, obtained with INTEGRAL/WYFFOS on the William Herschel Telescope. We find that tomograms of HeIIλ4686 line profiles appear to be incompatible with the previously assumed view of X2127+119, in which the binary consists of a 1.4-Msolar neutron

The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) team has produced a foreground map that can account for most of the low-frequency Galactic microwave emission in the WMAP maps, tentatively interpreting it as synchrotron emission. Finkbeiner and collaborators have challenged these conclusions, arguing that the WMAP team's ``synchrotron'' template is

The Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) is one of the three science instruments for ESA's far infrared and submillimetre observatory Herschel. It employs two Ge:Ga photoconductor arrays (stressed and unstressed) with 16 × 25 pixels, each, and two filled Si bolometer arrays with 16 × 32 and 32 × 64 pixels, respectively, to perform

The β Cephei star κ Scorpii is known to be multiperiodic from old photometric observations. A main period of 4.8 hr was detected, and from a beat period of about 7 d a secondary period of 4.9 hr was calculated. These periods were also found in recently analyzed line profile data. In two short data sets (separated by 152 d) obtained by the star
