Integral field spectroscopy in the central 16''x 12'' (2.4 kpc x 1.8 kpc, if H0 = 75 km s-1 Mpc-1) of the Seyfert 1.9 galaxy NGC 2992 has been obtained using the fibre system INTEGRAL. The data are mainly used to study the stellar and ionized gas kinematics. In spite of the photometric disruptions in the outer parts (r > 6 kpc) produced by the

We present bidimensional spectroscopy of the central region (9."4 x 12."2) of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 3516 in the two spectral ranges 4186-5839 A and 6110-7890 A. The data (95 x 2 spectra) were simultaneously obtained with an optical fibre system (2D-FIS). The two-dimensional velocity map of the stellar component was obtained from the Mg I b

Context. The CoRoT mission was the first dedicated to the search for exoplanets from space. The CoRoT exoplanet channel observed about 163 600 targets to detect transiting planetary companions. In addition to the search for exoplanets, the extremely precise photometric time series provided by CoRoT for this vast number of stars is an invaluable

In a ΛCDM cosmology, galaxy formation is a globally inefficient process: it is often the case that far fewer baryons are observed in galaxy discs than expected from the cosmic baryon fraction. The location of these `missing baryons' is unclear. By fitting halo profiles to the rotation curves of galaxies in the SPARC data set, we measure the

Context. Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are important bodies, but very little is known about their basic physical properties such as size, density, and albedo. Aims: We intend to determine sizes, albedos, and even densities of a good sample of TNOs, especially those of the largest TNOs because they can be studied the best with different
