The MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes underwent a major upgrade in 2011 and 2012. A new 1039-pixel camera and a larger area digital trigger system were installed in...
The use of iteration factors for temperature correction in a stellar atmosphere when convective transport is present
In a previous work (Paper I of this series), we presented a procedure for computing the temperature distribution in a stellar atmosphere under the constraint of...
The Use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy to Reclassify HR:8881
We demonstrate that near-infrared CVF spectrometry can be used to determine accurately the spectral type and luminosity class of K- and M-type stars. As an...
Aims:We introduce analytical response functions and their main properties as an important diagnostic tool that help understand Stokes profile formation physics...
The UV-brightest Lyman continuum emitting star-forming galaxy
We report the discovery of J0121+0025, an extremely luminous and young star-forming galaxy (M UV = -24.11, log[$L_{\rm Ly \alpha } / \rm erg~s^{-1}] = 43.8$) at...
The UV-Excess survey of the northern Galactic plane
The UV-Excess survey of the northern Galactic plane images a 10° × 185° wide band, centred on the Galactic equator using the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope in...
The V-band luminosity function of galaxies in A2151
We present a wide field V-band imaging survey of approximately 1 deg2 (~7.2~h-275 Mpc2) in the direction of the nearby cluster of galaxies Abell 2151 (the...
The V-R Diagram - a Diagnostic Tool for the Dynamical Classification of Spiral Galaxies
The relations between the angular momentum (J) and the mass (M) for a sample of spiral galaxies are discussed for galaxies distributed in the rotational...
The Value of the Fine Structure Constant over Cosmological Times
The optical spectra of objects classified as QSOs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6 are analyzed with the aim of determining the value of the fine...
